The Instrument Element is a Cloud/Grid component that provides the computational/data Infrastructure with an abstraction of real instruments, and Users with a more interactive interface to control them. In other words this component provides an access to existing devices using a Service Oriented Architecture and it allows an easy orchestration of devices using a mesh-up approach.
This project is managed by Francesco Lelli.

Demoing the Instrument Element
Distributed Applications, such as Service Oriented Architectures, are more and more becoming a collection of huge quantity of heterogeneous software. This software needs to be installed, configured and maintained.
In an ideal situation, machines
jARC: Accessing the ARC Middleware from Java.
We just release the first version of jARC a java library that will allow the access to the grid from Java.
2 different ways to deal with the low level communications have been provided in order to support an access from a machine where the ARC-User Interface is not installed. This is he case of a [...]
