International Conference on Information Technology: Coding and Computing (ITCC'04) Volume 2 G-AQFS: Grid Computing Exploitation for the Management of Air Quality in Presence of Complex Meteorological Circulations Las Vegas, Nevada April 05-April 07 ISBN: 0-7695-2108-8
Leveraging Grid Computing technology, i.e. the virtualization of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a single system image, we present a Grid Air Quality Forecast System (G-AQFS). The Modeling system consists of meteorological and dispersion models coupled in cascade. The computational workflow of the Modeling system is defined by means of DAGs (Direct Acyclic Graph). A simple system is presented to manage and schedule the computational Grid resources.As case study the system has been applied over Salento area, in the Apulia region (South-eastern Italy), to simulate ground level ozone concentration. Model predictions have been compared with field measurements, with reasonable results.
