  2. RINGrid Remote Instrumentation in Next-generation Grids • Call: FP6-2005-Infrastructures-7 • Specific Support Action • Contract no. 031891 • 18 months: from October 2006 – March 2008

  3. Participants

  4. Objectives • Identification of instruments and user communities, definition of requirements • Synergy between remote instrumentation and next-generation high-speed communications networks and grid infrastructures • Trend analysis and recommendations for designing next-generation remote instrumentation services • Promoting egalitarian access to European e-Infrastructure opportunities • Dissemination of project results to scientific and business groups of users

  5. Interactivity • Interactive access to equipment is under special attention in this project

  6. Workpackages • WP1 - Project management • WP2 - Identification of instruments and user communities, definition of requirements • WP3 - Evaluation and requirements for infrastructures • WP4 - Future emerging trends and recommendations • WP5 - Dissemination, standardisation and cooperation with other projects • WP6 - Prototyping and verification

  7. Identification of instruments WP2 • Identification of scientific instruments for integration with Grid environment • Identification of user groups and instrument owners as potential beneficiaries of remoteinstrumentation systems • Definition of instrument and instrument owner technical and policy requirements • Influence on the e-Infrastructure vision (e-IRG, ESFRI) • Carrying out extended research to identify further groups of users potentially interested inremote instrumentation • Evaluation of cost savings through the use of remote instruments as compared with theconventional use, rented or owned equipment

  8. Evaluation and requirements for infrastructures WP3 • Evaluation of the existing network and grid infrastructureavailable for the remoteinstrumentation communities identifiedin WP2 • Analysis of the scientific instrument requirements with respect tothe present research networkinfrastructures • Analysis of the scientific instrument requirements with respect tothe present state of the art ofgrid middleware and other grid-enabled software • Requirements definition of infrastructures for remoteinstrumentation systems

  9. Future emerging trends and recommendations WP4 • Analysis of the impact of next-generation multi-gigabit network infrastructures (e.g. Geant 2) and networking technologies advances (e.g. IPv6, QoS support, MPLS) on the use of remote instrumentation services • Analysis of future trends concerning network technologies that may be used to access remote instrumentation services and virtual research laboratories • Guidelines for the development of new software services enabling user-friendly interactions (e.g. access, control, monitor) with remote scientific devices • Recommendations for the development of virtual research laboratories to reduce access costs and expand accessibility to top-level instruments

  10. Prototyping and verification • Validation of the project results will base on the following testbed implementations: • PSNC Virtual Laboratory (http://vlab.psnc.pl/) • GridCC (http://www.gridcc.org/) • CLARA (http://www.redclara.net/)

  11. Project lifetime definition of requirements infrastructure evaluation identification of instruments new users requirements new requirements future emerging trends and recommendations • Architecture definition • Adopting existing ‘black boxes’ • Finding out the missing functionality • Verification • Use cases • Influencing policy groups: • e-IRG • ETWG, OGF, ... prototyping and verification

  12. OGF-related Issues • Quality of Service on the forefront • Visualization, Data management, SLAs • Remote Instrumentation Services in a Grid Environment BoF (Wednesday, May 9) • Goal: Define use cases and functional requirements • Charter to be drafted; Looking for 2nd chair outside Europe • Marcin Plociennik, PSNC (marcinp ‘at’ man.poznan.pl)

  13. EGEE-related Issues • RINGrid takes into account the gLite status and developments • Looking into m/w which is compatible with gLite • GRIDCC • Int.Eu.Grid • gEclipse

  14. Summary • RINGrid provides an architecture which integrates instrumentations with e-Infrastructure: • encompasses the current state of art, near future technology • conceptual design of missing architectural ‘pieces’ • supported by Grid and networking environment (e-Infrastructure) • Prototyping and validation is foreseen– 4Q2007/1Q2008 • Large set of instruments being a reference for architecture definition • RINGrid is looking for collaboration in terms of interactivity and joint efforts • Proposition of new European Technical Group (TG10) and OGF research group under discussion
