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...

The opportunities for integration of synchrotron radiation (SR) techniques in the Earth and Environmental sciences research together with Remote Access Services (RAS) and integrated Grid-based data processing tools are described. The successful implementation of the SR methods with Grid technology will provide new opportunities to the global science community. The possibility to perform precise measurements at different synchrotron beamlines through grid-embedded remote access instrumentation protocols based on hi...

The technical specifications defined from instrumentation owners of suitable for remote access expensive equipment in Earth Sciences domain are presented. The database containing all mentioned above structured information is created and used as analytical tool in this investigation. The user community requirements in several different domains for application of remote access are evaluated and analysed. This work is one of the main parts of RINGrid project (Remote Instrumentation in Next-generation Grids) under the...
