Abstract

The BRIDGES project was funded by the UK Department of Trade and Industry to directly address the needs of the cardiovascular research scientists investigating the genetic causes of hypertension as part of the Wellcome Trust funded (£4.34M) Cardiovascular Functional Genomics (CFG) project. Specifically, the BRIDGES project developed a compute Grid and a data Grid with security at its heart. This paper presents the experiences in developing usable Grid services for the bio-community and the different phases of prototypes that were refined based upon user requirements and feedback.
