These applications require platforms that dynamically and flexibly combine resources across systems and data centers--for example, to aggregate capacity or capabilities, or integrate data stores when moving data is no longer an option. The CometCloud project at the Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) aims to provide infrastructure and programming support for enabling such end-to-end application workflows. CometCloud enables flexible software-defined synthesis of custom cyberinfrastructure through the autonomic, on-demand federation of geographically distributed compute and data resources. CometCloud exposes the federated cyberinfrastructure using elastic cloud abstractions and science-as-a-service platforms. The authors introduce CometCloud, use sample application use cases to illustrate its operation, and present current and future research directions toward supporting pervasive application workflows enabled by the Internet of Things.

For example, the portable device can be a cell phone. The body part can be, for example, the hand, ankle, torso, forearm or upper arm. An animated or virtual reality sequence forming a videogame runs or the portable device. Upon interaction of the user with the videogame, movement of the body part is captured as exercise data.

An award-winning prototype framework transforms the Blue Gene/P system into an elastic cloud to run a representative HPC application.

CometCloud supports policy-driven, robust auto- nomic cloud bridging and autonomic cloudbursts. CometPortal provides an interface for monitoring and controlling applica- tion deployment using CometCloud, specifying and modifying policies controlling scale-out based on load dynamics, perfor- mance requirements and/or economic constraints. Online risk- analytics is used as a driving application to demonstrate the design and operation of CometPortal. Specifically, CometPortal is used to support a cloud-based online Value-at-Risk (VaR) application that is deployed on a virtual cloud combining a private cloud at Rutgers University and the Amazon EC2 public cloud.

Virtual reality videogames were used to train three adolescents with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Training duration varied between 6 and 11 months. The investigators summarize medical, technological, legal, safety, social, and economic issues that arose during this lengthy study. Solutions to deal with these multitude of issues are proposed. The authors stress the importance of choosing multiple outcome measures to detect clinically meaningful change. The authors believe that in-home telerehabilitation is the future of rehabilitation.

This paper presents the first pilot study designed to look at the feasibility of at-home use of gaming technology adapted to address hand impairments in adolescents with hemiplegia due to perinatal stroke or intraventricular hemorrhage. Three participants trained at home for approximately 30 min/day, several days a week, for six to ten months. During therapy, they wore a fifths dimension technologies ultra sensing glove and played custom-developed Java 3D games on a modified PlayStation 3. The games were designed to accommodate the participants' limited range of motion, and to improve finger range and speed of motion. Trials took place in Indiana, while monitoFring/data storage took place at Rutgers Tele-Rehabilitation Institute (New Jersey). Significant improvements in finger range of motion (as measured by the sensing glove) were associated with self- and family-reported improvements in activities of daily living. In online subjective evaluations, participants indicated that they liked the system ease of use, clarity of instructions, and appropriate length of exercising. Other telerehabilitation studies are compared to this study and its technology challenges. Directions for future research are included.
