GRID-EMBEDDED REMOTE INSTRUMENTATION APPLIED IN THE EARTH SCIENCES
Abstract
The very sharing of resources that lies at the heart of the Grid concepts is of utmost importance in the case that we are studying. Securing the sharing of instruments through industry standard methodologies offers an unprecedented way for scientists to cooperate efficiently through standardized security means, without the incompatibility of implementing interoperability layers for each different experiment and site combination. We performed our model use case analysis in two complementary ways: by the examination of three specific prototype installations and by study of questionnaires collected from instrumentation-related scientists. Results from prototypes and experiments were combined with a wider selection of use cases from the field of earth sciences. Three prototype installations were built. The goal of this implementation was evaluating the suitability of existing solutions for the purpose of remote instrumentation, according to the expectations and impressions of scientists themselves. The main and absolutely necessary facilities identified are instrument virtualization, error monitoring and logging, accounting and monitoring/controlling of experiment execution. Additionally, some other functional requirements exist: the presence of selection services, the availability of site functional tests, policy decision and enforcement mechanisms, input and output data management, and workflow management.
