Grid and instruments: state-of-the-artGrid and instruments: state-of-the-art

Initially: grid technologies were applied to share and elaborate

massive experimental datasets; instruments were not considered grid resources; data acquisition in batch mode; no interaction with instruments.

Now, the interest is moving to : exposing instruments as grid resources; real-time access and control of remote instrumentation; dynamic cooperation of distributed measurement

instruments; service oriented approach .

RequirementsRequirements

Interactivity between users and measurement instruments. Management of repeated sequence of data acquisition,

computation and presentation. Real-time feedback from the test bench (human-in-the-loop

case). Uniqueness of resources (instruments are real devices

connected to specific systems under test). Instruments synchronization, when more instruments are

involved in a measurement. Test-bench access control (exclusive access or multi-user

concurrent access).

Service oriented approachService oriented approach

Exposing instruments functionalities as Web Services: the instrument services offer the functionalities of a specific

device or of a set of devices that can be considered as a unique element on the base of their commonalities.

Thinking the measurement as a process that requires invoking instrument web services in an ordered sequence. This is a workflow and could be exposed as a web service

ConclusionsConclusions

We have implemented and tested: Instrument as grid resources. Instrument web services. Composition of measurement workflows. The “execution service” that coordinates the

operations of the real instruments. Lock/unlock. Session management. Instrument services invocation.

The prototype has been developed on electronic measurement instruments and experiments, but it is usable with any kind of devices.
