Description
The next generations of large colliders and their experiments will have the advantage
that groups from all over the world will participate with their competence to meet
the challenges of the future. Therefore it’s necessary to become even more global
than in the past, giving members the option of remote access to most controlling
parts of this facilities. The experience in the past has shown that a number of
problems result from the existing variety of computer systems and their graphical
user interfaces which are incompatible to other systems and the possible options to
reach them from outside the experimental area. A group at Trieste and DESY is
working inside the GANMVL (Global Accelerator Network Multipurpose Virtual
Laboratory) project to solve this problem, finding a simple way for the consumer to
have remote access with single sign-on personalisation and admission to several
systems. We determine problems arising in the implementation of user friendly
interfaces, in achieving a look and feel close to the real hardware and in handling
software. Also in the future it should be possible to have access simply via any
internet browser, without any knowledge about the computer operating systems inside
the large facilities. Only one login procedure should be necessary to have access to
every integrated system. The current project status shall be outlined.
