GLORIAD Applications in KOREA
Astronomy
- KOREA: Korean Virtual Observatory Project
- The virtual observatory projects are being developed mainly at national levels at about 15 countries including Korea. Korean Virtual Observatory (KVO, http://kvo.kao.re.kr) was started from February 2003 by astronomers in Korea Astronomy Observatory and some universities.
Atmospheric Science
- KOREA: Integrated Climate System Modeling
- Large amount of data sharing is necessary in accurate weather and climate predictions. KMA (Korean Metrological Administration) is leading the efforts in Korea.
Bioinformation Science
GeoScience
GRID
- KOREA: Grid Applications and Technology
- With the K*Grid, the Information Technology (IT) can be combined with the emerging technologies such as bio-engineering and nano-technology, as well as traditional engineering fields. In particular, the design of new medicines, practical engineering problems in industry, and the development of a Korean space launcher can be conducted within the framework of the K*Grid.
- KOREA: Research Equipment on Grid
- The Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI) is the largest provider of state-of-the-art research equipments and large-scale research equipments in Korea. The JEM-ARM 1300S named as "the Morning Star" is the 1st Ultra High Voltage Transmission Electron Microscope (UHV-TEM) installed in 2003. Major functions of the instrument are its atomic resolution, better than 1.2 A (point-to-point), and its precise stage control, capable of tilting more than 60 within 0.1 errors, combination of which is suitable to do 3-D structure analysis of complex materials and the instrument is fully remote controllable without losing its atomic resolution. Specially, Electron tomography offers a powerful tool to obtain three-dimensional (3-D) structural information in biology and materials science.
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)
- KOREA: International Thermonuclear Experemental Reactor (ITER)
- KOREA: International Thermonuclear Experemental Reactor (ITER) Korean effort is being lead by KNFP (Korean National Fusion Program) which is hosted by KBSI (Korea Basic Science Institute).
- RUSSIA: International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)(Projects in progress)(ITER)
- RUSSIA: International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a joint international project,
involving countries, conducting extensive research on controlled thermonuclear fusion.

High Energy Physics (HEP)
- KOREA: High Energy Physics
- The Object of the high energy physics (HEP) is to understand the basic properties of elementary particles and their interactions. High energy physics at the major accelerator sites where there are detector design, construction, signal process, DAQ and analysis is a large-scale enterprise conducted abroad. The size of collaboration is 100~2000 physicists. Therefore, the HEP community sets the pace for all in mapping out plans for handling enormous computational and data requirements as well as the required network infrastructure.
Please let us know of additional deployments.
