VRE Modeler Sample Clauses

VRE Modeler. The VRE Modeler is a gCube Service dedicated to support VRE Designers and Managers to instruct the system about the expected features of the desired Virtual Research Environment as well as allowing to easily update the environment once defined and operational and finally to drop the environment and release the exploited resource as soon as the goal the environment has been designed for is considered accomplished. Because of this (i) the service is expected to serve two kind of actors: VRE Designers, i. e. actors in charge to specify the features the VRE should provide its users with from an high-level perspective, and VRE Manager, i.e. actors that, with the support of the system, transforms the desiderata of the VRE Designer in term of concrete services, collections and gHNs implementing it; (ii) the service is expected to provide these users with its functions through an high-level User Interface. To meet the above expectations and requirements, the VRE Modeler Service has been organized according to the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern [11] with the addition of a persistence layer. Moreover, the view and controlled layers are integrated into the same component, this is a common simplification of the original MVC framework. As a consequence, the resulting components are depicted in Figure 15.
