Remote Instrumentation Services in Grid Environment (RISGE)
(90 mins)
Marcin Plociennik
(RISGE-RG) Group Discussion
View Participants
This session is a continuation of the disscussions and work started during BoF session at OGF20 in Manchester. The RISGE will explore issues related to the usage of advanced Grid capabilities in the process of monitoring as well as execution of measurement tasks and experiments on complex remote scientific equipment. The main purpose of this research group is to integrate approaches in defining remote access interfaces to sophisticated laboratory equipment in e-Infrastructure environments. It concerns steering, monitoring and user access to unique instruments. The advances of Grid technologies in areas such as interactivity and visualization will play an important role in the process of accessing remote devices.
There are numerous areas of science, industry and commerce that require broad international cooperation for their success. A number of problems may be addressed by using sophisticated equipment and top-level expertise, which is often locally unavailable. Therefore, the development and dissemination of techniques and technologies that allow virtualized, remote and shared access to industrial or scientific instruments is essential for the progress of science and therefore society. The possibility of using scientific or industrial equipment independent of their physical location helps in the equality of opportunity and unification of communities and subsequently opens new horizons for industry, science and business. Systematic identification of instruments and corresponding user communities, the definition of their requirements as well as careful analysis of the remote instrumentation synergy with next-generation high-speed communications networks and grid infrastructures will be the basis for the definition of recommendations for designing next-generation Remote Instrumentation Services.
Objectives:
* Provide an overview of existing solutions and best practices for interactive service-oriented infrastructures
* Research and document:
* The state of the art in grid and network infrastructures in areas connected with laboratory equipment sharing
* Existing standards allowing the use of lab devices remotely
* Integrating research: interactivity, visualisation in a workflow of remote instrumentation
* Interactivity in Grids
* Visualisation Frameworks
Specific objectives:
* Indicating future directions of Interactive Service-Oriented Architectures
* Indicating future directions of grid and network functionality development to facilitate access to research infrastructure
* Research on new common architecture for remote instrumentation
* Actively engage the community of virtual laboratory developers in this activity
* Facilitate access to the laboratory equipment via Internet
* Act as a liaison to the grid community and equipment final users in general
* Develop requirements and use cases in the area of the Remote Instrumentation
* Identify how the grid is being challenged by the science disciplines related to shared devices
* Analysis of solutions which enable egalitarian access to research infrastructure by scientific community
