Service-Oriented Computational Biology Community Cloud

Abstract:

Cloud computing is rising fast these years. It is making software or hardware more attractive through transform them to services. It provides a new developing opportunity for many research fields. A service-oriented Computational Biology Community Cloud (CBCC) is constructed in this paper. Computational biology related programs are collected, integrated and systematic. A four-layer cloud architecture of CBCC is presented and analyzed in this paper. The key technologies are also discussed. By using browsers, CBCC exposes users a lot of simple and easy use services. Users can easily begin their works on CBCC, process results or make their conclusions. Users no need to learn complex programming or prepare many files like before. Some typical applications on CBCC are introduced. By using CBCC, researchers of computational biology can save a lot time and enhance their working efficiency.
