„The Grids that evolve along these lines will need to exhibit all the properties, most importantly, interoperability. In this way a collection of Grids, each providing specialized facilities, will interoperate to form a single Grid at the interface level. We believe that addressing these research priorities (with the representative balance between the pure technical and the social/business oriented issues) in the 2005 to 2010 timeframe will enable Europe to take the global lead in Grid technology and its application in the Information Society of the future” .

- Access via Internet
- Universal architecture
- Allows to use the same approach for various types of
instruments
- To keep the information
- Experiments, results
- Publications
Guidelines
Cezary Mazurek, PSNC, Access to Grid and Digital Library Services
11 Terena conference, June 2004, Rhodes, Greece
- Remote usage of expensive and unique facilities
- Better utilisation
- Joint venture and on-line co-operation of scientific teams
- Shorter deadlines, faster work
- eScience – closer
- Equal chances
- Tele –work, -science
The Goal
Cezary Mazurek, PSNC, Access to Grid and Digital Library Services
12 Terena conference, June 2004, Rhodes, Greece
- Access various facilities
- Unique, expensive, universal architecture
- Choose the best suitable site
- Define measurement scenarios
- Digital libraries
- Collaborative work
- Accounting issues
- Enhanced security level
- On-line progress monitoring
- Platform independent
Differences between Virtual Laboratory and pure remote access

Difference between Virtual Laboratory and pure remote access – CONT.
- Advanced time reservation
- Bearing in mind the ‘human factor’

14 Terena conference, June 2004, Rhodes, Greece
Example:
Preprocessing Postprocessing Experiment Visualisation Data Results
- Allow to flexibly define the measurement scenarios, which
include all experiment parts from pre-processing tasks, through the execution of experiment to post-processing
- Possibility to add new scenario elements
- Defining conditions between ‘black boxes’
- Clearly define the data flow
- Make simpler the control process
Dynamic Measurement scenarios (DMS)

- Checking conditions and constrains (earlier defined inside the
‘black box’)
- Conditions between connections (e.g. OR, AND)
- Input and Output conditions
Complexity of DNM - connections

18 Terena conference, June 2004, Rhodes, Greece
Complexity of DMS - conversions
- Made in case the OUTPUT of App1 is incompatible with INPUT
- f App2
- Developed several conversion schemas
- The behaviour of Measurement parts is defined by
DMSL (ang. Dynamic Measurement Scenario Language)
