  1. Franco Davoli DIST-University of Genoa / CNIT – University of Genoa Research Unit (on behalf of Norbert Meyer, Poznań Supercomputing and Netwoking Center, and the DORII Consortium) DORIIDeployment of Remote Instrumentation Infrastructure

  2. Outline DORII project introduction Applications in DORII DORII architecture DORII middleware DORII networking and monitoring infrastructure Related activities

  3. DORII in a nutshell • 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 and support action • Call1: Deployment of e-Infrastructures for scientific communities

  4. Project partners

  5. Motivation • 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

  6. Remote Instrumentation • What is it? Remote instrumentation is the method of providing data acquisition and control of scientificinstruments 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 specializedequipmentthat might otherwise remain idle.

  7. Examples of Instruments

  8. 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

  9. DORII – scientific communities • Earthquake community • Network-centric seismic simulations • Earthquake early warning system • Environmental Science community with selected applications • Oceanographic and coastal observation and modelling - Mediterranean Ocean Observing Network • Oceanographic and coastal observation and modelling using imaging • Experimental science community • On-line data analysis - synchrotron and free electron lasers • Reference installation mentioned by ESFRI

  17. OGF RISGE-RG • Open Grid Forum Remote Instrumentation Services in Grid Environment Research Group

  18. OGF RISGE-RG main goal • The main purpose of this research group is to bring togethervarious 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

  19. 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

  20. Current state and DORII details • The major scientific results and achievement on application and technology levels were described the journal title Computational Methods in Science and Technology (www.man.poznan.pl/cmst) under the special issue “Instrumentation for e-Science” - Volume 15 (1) 2009 • Ask about a free copy: meyer@man.poznan.pl
