• Resumen

  • Cloud computing promises great opportunities for the execution of scientific and engineering applications. However, the execution of such kind of applications over Cloud infrastructures requires the accomplishment of many complex processes. In this paper we present a Computational Mechanics Software as a Service (SaaS) project which will allow scientists to easily configure and submit their experiments to be transparently executed on the Cloud. For this purpose, a finite element software called SOGDE is used to perform parametric studies of computational mechanics on the basis of underlying computing resources. Moreover, a web service provides an interface for the abovementioned functionalities allowing the remote execution of scientific applications in a simple way
