NCHC's user groups are an important indicator of our center's achievement. Our Knowledge Grid core technology is now mature due to the positive reinforcement from our user groups in various academic fields. The know-how contained in the Knowledge Grid is used, transferred, and further built upon by the Grid users themselves. Their collective creativity has contributed greatly to the rise of Taiwan's Knowledge Index. If you have an idea for collaboration or would like to join us, please contact us.

Computational Biology
|
The Taiwan Computational Biology Consortium (TCBC) was created by the NCHC's Dr. Wun-Shiung Lee, an internationally renowned computational biology authority. Resources from various agencies were pooled together in order to form TCBC. The consortium seeks to increase communication and collaboration between different agencies. A web page and discussion forum were also created to serve as a communications bridge between the computational biology user groups and the informational technology user groups. TCBC also created a high quality teleconferencing Grid to increase the communications option between these different agencies. Due to the outstanding efforts on the part of TCBC, Taiwan's research standards have been raised to an international level.
TCBC's user groups include the National Sanitation Research Center, Industrial Technology Research Center, National Taiwan University (NTU), Yang-Ming University, National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), National Chin-Hwa University, National Normal University, Chen-Kung University, National Chung Hwa University (NCHU), Tai-Chung Health Management Institute, and Min-Shin Technical Institute.

Ecology Grid User Group
|
Using state-of-the-art Grid technology, scientists at NCHC have established a cyberinfrastructure for ecological research, the EcoGrid, which integrates geographically distributed sensors, computing power, and storage resources into a uniform and secure platform. Ecologists can conduct research on this platform that includes data acquisition, analysis, and sharing. The EcoGrid is also connected to the International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network.
The Taiwan Regional Ecology Research Grid is a joint collaboration between the NCHC, the Taiwan Ecology Research Grid (TERG), the US-based Long Term Ecological Research (LTER), and the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC). Other group members include Taiwan Long Term Ecology Grid Research Network (TLTEGRN), the Forestry Experiment Institute, and the Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA).

Long Distance Education User Group
|
The NCHC is directly connected to the Access Grid (AG). The Grid provides a way for Taiwan's universities to carry out collaborative education via this advanced broadband network. Renowned national and international scholars can meet, exchange research results, and collaborate anytime over the AG. Currently, the five experimental schools involved in the Long Distance Learning and Education Program are Chung-Shang, Dong-Hwa, Tai-Tung, Chen Kung, and Ping Tung Institute. Next, the NCHC will install network points in various vocational schools via connections from the universities. This Grid will eventually become the foundation for international collaborative education when it connects with the Taiwan Access Grid (TWAG).
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) also develops AG software for simultaneous multi-point connection that facilitates emergency response decision-making. This application is particularly appropriate for Taiwan's emergency and disaster response needs.

Medical Grid User Group
|
Taiwan has approximately two million asthma patients who need daily care and monitoring. The NCHC is collaborating with 12 national hospitals, medical equipment manufacturers, and wireless telecommunications companies to monitor the conditions of long-term home-bound asthma patients. Using this advanced technology, the asthma patient's physician is able to monitor his patient real time. The Grid structure allows for automatic information exchange between the hospitals, doctors, and patients. Currently, there are 300 doctors and 7,000 asthma patients involved with the Asthma Grid User Development Group.
The Grid is able to produce outstanding results when it is used for disease prevention. In the near future, the Grid will become the informational exchange platform between hospitals, the government, and international health organizations. Quantitative information can be analyzed for use by disease prevention and cure research institutes to help control the spread of disease.
