Abstract: The Human Brain Project (HBP), the ICT-based Flagship project of the EU, is building research infrastructure for understanding the brain and finding new treatments for brain disease. Important capabilities are brain simulations of large- and multiscale experimental and clinical data sets with integrated analysis toolkits. The HBP offers simulation engines at different scales of abstraction. These simulators are now been integrated to enable multi-scale model simulation. These models will be an important tool for answering system level questions of (whole) brain ailments How to create a science end-user friendly production system from multiple individual applications, each simulating specific scales, is an open question. One challenge is that the probability of a fault condition grows as a multiplicative function of the number of applications in a workflow and their failure probabilities. This talk will introduce the infrastructure being build by HBP for the EBRAIN research infrastructure to address this and other challenges.
