Instruments in Grid: the Instrument Element

  • Conference paper
Grid Enabled Remote Instrumentation

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

This work is focused on the interoperability aspects between the Grid and the scientific instrumentation. The IE (Instrument Element) makes possible the monitoring and the remote control of any kind of scientific instrumentation, although the test-bed of this first implementation is constituted of telescopes and related astronomical instrumentation. The first implementation of the IE deals with monitoring aspects; astronomers can remotely interface the telescope and related instrumentation and check the telemetric and scientific data when they are acquired. Future releases of the IE will include extensions, so that remote control capabilities will be also covered.
