Abstract
The astonishing fast rate of technology evolution has given rise to a new era of scientific knowledge discovery. This new age of science, known as e-Science, is described as the new great computational and multidisciplinary team science requiring novel methodologies for data storage, modeling and analysis. In particular, the development of transactional and analytical software systems for e-Science applications when viewed from a dynamic systems perspective, presents a number of new computational challenges. Among them are the scientific knowledge discovery processes, which involve frequent changes of requirements for data storage, modeling and analysis. The need to address scientific dynamic systems in order to cope with complex applications of e-Science has woken up the scientific community for the development of robust and evolutionary software systems to meet these new challenges. Dynamical system is the classical mathematical formalism to represent phenomena that evolute with time, which are of great interest in science. In this project, our main goal is to develop computational models and methodologies to support e-Science applications viewed as dynamic systems. Our fundamental research covers three key research areas, namely storage, modeling, and analysis of dynamic systems. These research areas are significant and relevant to the FAPESP e-Science Program since many of the present e-Science challenges are related to the proper treatment of dynamic systems. Hence, we plan to develop and apply computational methodologies that will ease the development of e-Science applications, thereby contributing to the improvement of worldwide scientific knowledge, while respecting legal and ethical restrictions in data management.
