EPSRC funded six major pilot projects to develop e-Science technologies and test their use in many different applications.

RealityGrid is one of these pilot projects.

The other e-Science pilot projects (including two further projects started in 2004) are:

http://www.combechem.org
An EPSRC e-Science Pilot Project aimed at grid-enabled combinatorial chemistry.

http://www.discovery-on-the.net/
Discovery Net is a multidiscplinary project to provide a service-oriented computing model for knowledge discovery, allowing users to connect to and use data analysis software as well as data sources from the data generated by a wide variety of high throughput devices.

http://www.mygrid.org.uk/
myGrid aims to provide middleware layers for data and application resource integration for bioinformatics.

http://www.geodise.org/
GEODISE (Grid Enabled Optimisation and Design Search for Engineering) aims to exploit engineering modelling and analysis to yeld improved designs.

http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/dame/
DAME (Distributed Aircraft Maintenance Environment) aims to build a Grid and web services environment to facilitate the design and development of systems for diagnosis and maintenance applications, initially for civil aircraft engines.

http://www.integrativebiology.ox.ac.uk
IntegrativeBiology aims at multiscale modelling of heart dynamics and tumour growth.

http://www.goldproject.ac.uk/
GOLD will examine many practical aspects of developing and deploying virtual organisations (VOs) and develop proof-of-concept middleware and tools to demonstrate VOs in an industrial chemical engineering context.
