Abstract

A specific implementation of the instrument element (IE) architectural component of grid-enabled remote instrumentation devoted to the control of a device farm of telecommunication measurement systems is examined. The IE adopts a web service interface to transfer commands and responses related to instrument configuration parameters, but it uses a publish/subscribe mechanism for the asynchronous transfer of messages containing measurement data to be frequently displayed.
