A Semantic Peer to Peer Network to Support e-Science

In scientific scenario, there is an increasing collaboration among research groups, which leads to the growth in the use of information processing techniques, and the creation of new experiments as well as the sharing of their results. In this article, we present an architecture named e-ScienceNet, that creates an access point to distributed scientific applications, where scientists can work with heterogeneous data, form groups based on their interests, and create new experiments based on service compositions. Therefore, e-ScienceNet, a semantic peer-to-peer network system, aims to provide support to scientist in the e-Science context, enabling the use and sharing of scientific resources.
