Workshop on Scientific Instruments and Sensors on the Grid

23-28 April 2007ICTP, Trieste

Grid research and data sources Grid research has focused on computational and

data Grids As the technology for these has matured,

however, increasing attention is being directed towards the actual sources of data: the instruments and sensors.

Scientific instruments and sensors provide the raw observations used to develop, falsify, and verify scientific



Data collection and simulation Data collection interacts profoundly with

interpretation and analysis There is an increasing use of in-silico

experiments, and the integration of model-based simulation with physical sensors

Instruments and sensors are qualitatively distinct from computation and data and impose some unique challenges and issues to current Grid technologies



System level science System level science is the integration of many

different sources of knowledge about the constituent parts of a complex system with the goal of obtaining an understanding of the system properties as a whole

System level science is becoming more and more important in many different fields, from astronomy to geology, from earthquake impact prediction, to environmental monitoring and hazard prevention



System level science requirements

System level science has important implications in the field of information and communication technology as it requires integration of different disciplines, software, systems, data, computing resources and people

System-level science puts new requirements on Grid technologies: integration with instruments and sensors, interactivity, real time response



Instruments and sensors on the Grid

Instruments and Sensors Computational Grid



Instrument Grid Research Different international projects already tried to

target at least some of the aspects involved in system level science GRIDCC recently demonstrated the possibility to

implement feedback loops through the Grid The INT.EU.GRID project allows the expert to

interactively steer the simulation The RINGrid is defining requirements and trying to

find synergies between remote instrumentation and next-generation high-speed networks



Instrument Grid Research The NEESgrid project links earthquake

researchers across the U.S. with leading-edge computing resources and research equipment, allowing collaborative teams (including remote participants) to plan, perform, and publish their experiments.

Through NEESgrid software, researchers can: perform tele-observation and tele-operation of experiments, access computational resources and open-source interactive analytical tools.



Workshop Goals Give an overview of the different approaches to

the implementation of Scientific Instruments and Sensors Grids (EU, US, AU)

Give an idea on how Scientific Instruments and Sensors can be integrated in the existing eInfrastructure (cyber infrastructure)

Give the possibility to try on your own to solve real problems using the available approaches starting from meaningful use cases
