DORII – Deployment of Remote Instrumentation Infrastructure
Started – Feb. 1st, 2008 + 30 months
12 partners: scientific community IT partners
Service providers: services + infrastructure SME
7 FP project, started at the Infrastructure Unit Grant agreement for: Combination of Collaborative projects & Coordination

Scientific community
ICT technology is still not present at the appropriate level but it is demanded by the users to empower the daily work
processes
There is a 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 equipment, and 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 RINGrid, GRIDCC, Int.EU.Grid and gEclipse
Motivation
OGF28, Munich, Germany, June 2010
Remote Instrumentation
What is it?
Remote instrumentation is the method of providing data acquisition and control of scientific instruments from remote locations.
Why do we need it?
Impact on the scientific community: to give the possibility to do experimental science using facilities that are extremely rare or unique. This also open lot of oportunities for scientists from developing countries for sharing very expensive laboratory instruments
Impact on education: to give students access to experiments remotly, even on other continents. Remote instrumentation can allow on-line courses on specific instruments
Impact on the instrument usage: more efficient use of specialized equipment that might otherwise remain idle.

Examples of Instruments
OGF28, Munich, Germany, June 2010
DORII - objectives
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 the e-Infrastructure
Deployment and operation of persistent, production quality, distributed instrumentation integrated with the e-Infrastructure
to provide added values of the e-Infrastructure in the integrated environment of scientific and engineering instrumentation, networking, visualisation and computational resources
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

Instrument Resources in DORII

OGF RISGE-RG Open Grid Forum Remote Instrumentation Services in
Grid Environment Research Group
OGF28, Munich, Germany, June 2010
OGF RISGE-RG main goal
The main purpose of this research group is to bring together various existing approaches in defining remote access interfaces to sophisticated laboratory equipment, as well as to come up with use cases that can dictate the requirements for integrating scientific instruments with the Grid
Special interest in the advances of Grid technologies in areas such as interactivity, visualization and Quality of Service
OGF28, Munich, Germany, June 2010
DORII – what was learned and achieved – what remains to be done
New implementations of the basic middleware tools to extend Grid middleware (gLite) with instrumentation (Instrument Element - IE, Virtual Control Room - VCR)
Working with user communities enhances problems’ understanding
Networking QoS may not be an issue in most cases, but a monitoring structure needs to be in place
Development of further tools for enhanced instrumentation support and enhanced control of the eInfrastructure (advance reservation of instrument and network resources, SLAs, production-level IPv6 support, addressing „small devices” – relations to the „Internet of Things”, ...)
Progress toward standardization
