Abstract

Flood forecasting is a complex problem that requires cooperation of many scientists in different areas. In this paper, the concept of a Collaborative Problem Solving Environment for Flood Forecasting - a part of the CrossGrid project - is presented. This paper also focuses on the parallel numerical solution of hydraulic simulation module that is one the most computational-intensive parts of the whole system.

This work is supported by EU 5FP CROSSGRID IST-2001-32243, ANFAS IST-1999-11676 RTD projects and the Slovak Scientific Grant Agency within Research Project No. 2/7186/20.
