Workshop scope:

A number of science, industry and commerce problems which require broad international cooperation may be addressed by using sophisticated equipment and top-level expertise. Therefore, the development and dissemination of techniques and technologies that allow virtualized, remote and shared access to industrial or scientific instruments are essential for the progress of society. The possibility of using scientific or industrial equipment independently of their physical location helps towards equality of opportunity for and unification of communities, and subsequently provides new opportunities for industry, science, and business.

The current edition of the Workshop goes beyond exploitation of remote instrumentation on the Grid. First of all it focuses on new RI aspects related to  middleware architecture, high-speed networking, wireless Grid for acquisition devices and sensor networks, QoS provisioning for real-time control, measurement instrumentation and methodology. Moreover, it will provide knowledge about automation of mechanisms oriented on accompanying of processes which are usually performed by a human. Another important point of this workshop is focusing on the future trends concerning RI system development and actions related to standardization of remote instrumentation mechanisms.
