Research paper : How Grid enables E-Science? (Y. Tanaka)−44−Synthesiology - English edition Vol.2 No.1 (2009) Also, I explained the issues that need to be solved that became clear in the process of system construction in chapter 6, and added some further explanation in chapter 8. I also added an explanation of the strategy for achievement of the final goal in chapter 1.5 Synthesis of basic technology and an explanation of technical termsQuestion and comment (Naoto Kobayashi)The individual basic technologies and the reason for their selection are described very understandably. However, there are many technical terms, and they must be explained in the text. On the other hand, the issue is a synthesis of the basic technologies. It is described that basic technology is designed and implemented, based on standard protocols and standard interfaces, but please explain the uniqueness, innovativeness, and superiority of such a synthesis. Of course, the ease of system construction is an advantage having both uniqueness and superiority. I think it would be good if you can address whether the quality of security and service obtained from this synthesis is sufficient from the view point of GEO Grid, or whether it requires more improvement.Answer (Yoshio Tanaka)I think the superiority and importance of this research and the main theme of this paper is to show that a large-scale system can be realized easily if the basic technologies are implemented according to standard protocols and APIs, and to state that for the development of each basic technology, standardization and collaboration with overseas institutions are important. And also, that it is not realistic to develop everything on our own when constructing a large-scale system, but it is necessary to reduce the development cost by actively using available technologies while maintaining the core competence. These caveats are mentioned in chapter 6, and I also added some descriptions in chapter 1.
