Real Time Biomedical Data Streaming Platform (RIMES): A Data-Intensive Virtual Environment

In this paper we present Real time biomedical data Streaming platform (RIMES), a data-intensive virtual environment, under joint development by Computer Network Information Center and University of California, San Diego. RIMES extends scientists' desktops to biomedical grid computation resources and mass storage systems, by means of streaming biomedical data through internet-based Data Turbine cloud. Researchers may conduct activities related to job submission, data processing and real time visualization within the environment. RIMES may also be suitable to other data-intensive areas such as geosciences and ecoinformatics.
