	SCHEDULE: NOV 11-17, 2006 Bringing Instruments into the Grid Session: Poster Reception Event Type: Poster Time: 5:15pm - 7:15pm Author(s): Francesco Lelli Location: Ballroom Corridor Abstract: Current Grid technologies offer unlimited computational power and storage capacity for scientific research and business activities in heterogeneous areas over the world. Thanks to the Grid, different Virtual Organizations can operate together in order to achieve common goals. However, concrete use cases demand a more close interaction between various types of instruments accessible from the Grid, and the classical Grid infrastructure, typically composed of Computing and Storage Elements. We cope with this open problem by proposing and realizing the first release of the Instrument Element, i.e., a new Grid component that provides the computational/data Grid with an abstraction of real instruments, and Grid users with a more interactive interface to control them. In this poster we discuss in detail the implemented software architecture for this new component and we present concrete use cases, where the Instrument Element has been successfully integrated with.
