Grid Support for HLA-Based Collaborative Environment for Vascular Reconstruction

Collaborative environments where users can interact with running simulations are an important aspect of e- Science. To achieve efficient execution of High Level Architecture (HLA)-based collaborative environments on the Grid, we introduce a Grid HLA Management System (GHLAM) for their management. This is done by introducing migration and monitoring mechanisms for such applications. In this paper we present how G-HLAM can be applied to the collaborative environment supporting surgeons with simulations of vascular reconstruction, using distributed federations on the Grid for the communication among simulation and visualization components.
