Abstract

Based on the BW-eLabs platform, the goal of the NETLABS is the development of a software infrastructure, allowing for the interlinking and integration of experimental superstructures and simulations, as well as the software used for evaluation and archiving of data. In addition, a role- and rights-based model is developed, allowing access to experiments or measured data. The necessary components are integrated in the 3D Wonderland engine.
