Motivation

Scientific community the ICT technology is still not present at the appropriate level but is demanded by the users to empower the daily work

processes  There is strong interest of scientific groups of users that are

eager to profit from Remote Instrumentation e-Infrastructure

This is the reference for DORII, with experimental equipment and instrumentation, which is not integrated or integrated only partially with the European infrastructure

  We collected requirements from various owners of equipments,

selected scientific disciplines (only areas where hardware instrumentations are required for experimental work)

  The current capital investment, collected since a few years and

coming from many international and national projects, where we were co-operating together 7+ years experience

High interests worldwide RISGE-RG –OGF research group Instrumenting the Grid 2007

Integration of instrumentation and selected applications with e-Infrastructure and maintenance on production level

Adaptation of e-Infrastructure across selected areas of science and engineering Step forward in accessing scientific instruments combine the experimental science community and its research facilities

with the support given by e-Infrastructure

Deployment and operation of persistent, production quality, distributed instrumentation integrated with e-Infrastructure to provide added values of e-Infrastructure in the integrated environment

of scientific and engineering instrumentation, networking, visualisation and computational infrastructures

Generalize and deploy a framework environment that can be used for fast prototyping to use expertise and demands collected from various groups/owners of

scientific instrumentation to integrate selected functionalities from infrastructure and IST-oriented

projects

Objectives

Scientific community

Earthquake community: Network-centric seismic simulations Earthquake early warning system

Environment community with selected applications: Oceanographic and coastal observation and

modelling Mediterranean Ocean Observing Network

Experimental science community On-line data analysis - synchrotron and free electron

lasers Reference installation mentioned by ESFRI

Deploying the results to a wider community outside the project MOON (Mediterranean Ocean Observing Network),

European organisation EuroGOOS ECOHYDROS – represents the industry area (SME)

Project activities Coordinated by PSNC

11 partners 30 months

6

Project strategic areas

steering, monitoring and accessing remote instrumentation (GRIDCC, RINGrid, VLAB, CRIMSON)

Interactivity in grids and distributed environment (Int.EU.Grid, BalticGrid, CrossGRID)

visualisation (Int.EU.Grid, CrossGrid) collaborative tools (GRIDCC, Int.EU.Grid) building software frameworks for fast

prototyping and easy adaptation (g-Eclipse, Int.EU.Grid, CrossGrid)

workflows (VLAB) networking, quality of service and bandwidth on

demand (GN2 project)

Technical background

Open software components to be adapted and integrated from the following projects:GRIDCC: VCR based on GridSphere Portal,

Instrument Element Int.EU.Grid: Open MPI, Migrating Desktop,

gLoging-Eclipse: An integrated, Grid-enabled workbench

based on EclipseGN2: Network InfrastructureVLAB : Dynamic Workflow Manager (WFM)EGEE: gLite middleware for higher level services

with contributions from Int.EU.GridWe take as a base GEANT2 for networking and

EGEE/EGEE-2 middleware for higher level services

Standardisation Research group at OGF – Remote Instrumentation Services in Grid

Environment Scope (part of):

Provide an overview of existing solutions and best practices for interactive service oriented infrastructures

Integrating research: interactivity and visualisation in typical workflows for remote instrumentation

Interactivity in Grids Visualisation Frameworks

INGRID – conference (planned as annual event, exchange forum) - Some of the topics Workflow management for large-scale experiments Visualization techniques Management of large data sets Management of large-scale physics experiments Supporting interactive applications in the grid environment

Usage and extension of some of int.eu.grid services and middleware Example: Migrating Desktop Platform environment (to be deployed also

in DORII), mpi support

Possible common field of interest
