Identification of scientific instruments for integration with Grid environment
Identification of user groups and instrument owners as potential beneficiaries of remote instrumentation systems
Definition of instrument and instrument owner technical and
policy requirements
Influence on the e-Infrastructure vision (e-IRG, ESFRI)
Carrying out extended research to identify further groups of users
potentially interested in remote instrumentation
Evaluation of cost savings through the use of remote instruments
as compared with the conventional use, rented or owned
equipment
Identification of instruments WP2
EGEE User Forum,Manchester, May 11, 2007
Evaluation of the existing network and grid infrastructure
available for the remote instrumentation communities identified in
WP2
Analysis of the scientific instrument requirements with respect to
the present research network infrastructures
Analysis of the scientific instrument requirements with respect to
the present state of the art of grid middleware and other grid-
enabled software
Requirements definition of infrastructures for remote
instrumentation systems
Evaluation and requirements for infrastructures WP3
EGEE User Forum,Manchester, May 11, 2007
Future emerging trends and recommendations WP4
Analysis of the impact of next-generation multi-gigabit network infrastructures (e.g. Geant 2) and networking technologies advances (e.g. IPv6, QoS support, MPLS) on the use of remote instrumentation services
Analysis of future trends concerning network technologies that may be used to access remote instrumentation services and virtual research laboratories
Guidelines for the development of new software services enabling user-friendly interactions (e.g. access, control, monitor) with remote scientific devices
Recommendations for the development of virtual research laboratories to reduce access costs and expand accessibility to top-level instruments
EGEE User Forum,Manchester, May 11, 2007
Prototyping and verification
Validation of the project results will base on the following testbed implementations:
PSNC Virtual Laboratory (http://vlab.psnc.pl/)
GridCC (http://www.gridcc.org/)
CLARA (http://www.redclara.net/)
