Juelich Systems Analysis (ICE-2)

The Research Data Management specialist group develops methods that improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of research software and data in energy system research in line with the FAIR principles. This includes the development of special metadata formats, integrating model interfaces, approaches to data integration, validation and evaluation in model workflows, artificial intelligence methods for data procurement and ontologies as a common language basis. In addition, selected models and data from the institute are made available to potentially interested parties via graphical user interfaces.

The complex model calculations of system analysis require an extensive hardware and software infrastructure, which is developed, supported and integrated by the Scientific Computing specialist group. Hardware and software requirements are defined, and sustainable processes and software architectures are developed, designed and implemented to enable model developers to efficiently use and collaboratively develop models.
