Remote instrumentation for eScience and related aspects

This book will focus on new Remote Instrumentation aspects related to middleware architecture, high-speed networking, wireless Grid for acquisition devicesand sensor networks, QoS provisioning for real-time control, measurement instrumentation and methodology. Moreover, it will provide knowledge about the automation of mechanisms oriented to accompanying processes that are usually performed by a human. Another important point of this book is focusing on the future trends concerning Remote Instrumentation systems development and actions related to standardization of remote instrumentation mechanisms. Highlights the results of ongoing European and international projects,. Addresses the new generation of eInfrastructure in Europe, and considers significant applications. Discusses support given by eInfrastructure, including high bandwidth networks and grids, to instrumental resources. Covers the standardization aspects in remote instrumentation -a novelty topic in science. INDICE: Part I: Sensors' Infrastructure. 1.
