Description
Over the past years, European Union has invested heavily in development of an e-Infrastructure based upon Grid technologies and keeps investing to assure its maintenance. However, the adoption of the Grid technologies by various scientific communities is still farily slow due to their complexity. The DORII project aims to deploy e-Infrastructure for scientific communities with a need to access expensive instrumentation.
Sharing these devices over dedicated networks and using them remotely has not only considerable advantages for users of the equipment but also for the instrument owners. Currently, DORII provides support to the earthquake science community (Sensor networks), the environmental science community (Coastal monitoring and oceanography) and the experimental science community (Synchrotron beam-lines). Working closely with end-users, solutions are put in place that build upon the success of past and ongoing EC projects in areas such as remote instrumentation, interactivity, software frameworks for application developers and advanced networking technologies with EGEE-based middleware.
