Introduction

The term e-Science is widely used and may have a wide number of different interpretations.

However the work described here is focused on that carried out under the UK e-Science Programme and associated with the CSAR service.

Details of examples are given below.

SAMD was a demonstartor project for EPSRC. The project pooled together resources from various areas of the University of Manchester to show that data and computational resources could be harnessed in a grid environment to the benefit of the researchers.
