The paper represents new means of the Orlando Tools framework. This framework is used as the basis of an integrated software environment for developing distributed applied software packages. The additional means are focused on mitigating various types of uncertainties arising from the job distribution in an integrated computing environment. They provide continuous integration, delivery, and deployment of applied and system software of packages. This helps to significantly reduce the negative impact of uncertainty on problem-solving time, computing reliability, and resource efficiency. An experimental analysis of the results of solving practical problems clearly demonstrates the advantages of applying these means.

The paper addresses a relevant problem of predicting the runtime of jobs for executing problem-solving schemes of large-scale applications in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment. Such an environment includes nodes that have various hardware architectures, different system software, and diverse computational possibilities. We believe that increasing the accuracy in predicting the runtime of jobs can significantly improve the efficiency of problem-solving and rational use of resources in the heterogeneous environment. To this end, we propose new models that make it possible to take into account various estimations of the module runtime for all modules included in the problem-solving scheme. These models were developed using the special computational model of distributed applied software packages (large-scale scientific applications). In addition, we compare the prediction results (jobs runtime and their errors) using different estimations. Among them are the estimations obtained through the modules testing, users estimations, and estimations based on computational history. These results were obtained in continuous integration, delivery, and deployment of applied and system software of a package for solving warehouse logistics problems. They show that the largest accuracy is achieved by the modules testing.

The capabilities and operation of the Federal Highway Administration's recently developed Design-By-Blur (Version 1.0) software package will be demonstrated. Design-By-Blur is a Windows™ program that provides all of the tools needed to implement the recursive-blur technique. This technique - developed by FHWA sponsored research - provides an iterative set of procedures which can be used to optimize the legibility of graphical symbols used in highway signs and other transportation-related signing systems (e.g., in-vehicle graphical displays). Using this approach, graphics designers can quickly identify elements within a symbol that will contribute to poor legibility. The Design-by-Blur software provides the image processing procedures for evaluating the visual quality of a graphical element as well as the tools for modifying low visibility design features within a single integrated environment. In addition to examining the operation of the software, experimental results verifying the efficacy of the recursive-blur technique will be briefly summarized.

In this chapter, the ProGenGrid (Proteomics and Genomics Grid) research project, which started in 2004, is described. It is a Grid Problem Solving Environment, specialized for the Bioinformatics domain, which aims at providing an integrated environment in order to compose, schedule and monitor biological applications in a Computational Grid. The main feature offered by this environment is the possibility to use a friendly web interface for composing workflow jobs, scheduled on different grid middleware.
