CFP: Workshop on Scientific Instruments and Sensors on the Grid at CCGrid 2009
https://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/Events/SISG-09

Organized at the 9th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster
Computing and the Grid 2008 IEEE/ACM CCGRID 2009. May 18-21, Shanghai,
China.

OVERVIEW

Grid middleware's traditional focus is computation and data. However,
solving or exploring some problems require the integration of
instruments and sensors into a computation Grid so that we can collect
the raw observations that are used in our experiments. Examples might
include network measurement or capturing data such as seismic
measurements. Middleware is required to integrate such instruments
with computation and data resources to allow experiments in various
fields to be carried out. Integrating a wide range of instruments is
challenging because of the sheer diversity of instruments from
real-time sensors that continually provide low traffic data streams to
devices that are used infrequently and produce large amounts of data.
In addition, there are issues to do with the measurement process
itself such as calibration and re-calibration, the dynamic composition
of instruments together to produce a platform for data gathering or
the management of information related to data collection that helps
researchers demonstrate the validity of their experiments. As with the
two previous International workshops on scientific instruments and
sensors on the Grid, this workshop focuses on the above issues where
they relate to both concrete and virtual instruments and sensors.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The main topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Integration of instruments and sensors into the Grid
* Interoperability and compatibility of Grid-enabled instrumentation
and applications, and standards.
* Representation and/or control of instruments and sensors using Grid
and Web services
* Remote access to instrumentation and sensors
* Virtual organization and security issues of instruments and sensors
on the Grid
* Data management, provenance, and curation of Grid-enabled
instruments and sensors
* Real-time instrument and sensor systems
* Control and safety issues of instruments and sensors
* Data transport issues
* Social, administrative, and financial issues of Grid-enabled
instruments and sensors
* Agent-based computing for instrument and sensor networks
* Autonomic computing as applied to instruments and sensors
* Management of meta-information about experiments that are used to
assure their validity.

IMPORTANT DATES

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit original papers not previously published
nor submitted in parallel to any other publication for conference,
workshop or journal. Authors are invited to submit original papers of
6 pages, note that additional pages may be purchased (in some
circumstances) subject to approval of the proceedings chair.. Papers
should be double column text and follow the IEEE manuscript guidelines
provided by CCGrid2008 web site (http://grid.sjtu.edu.cn/ccgrid2009/).
At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the
workshop and that all workshop participants must pay the CCGrid 2009
workshop registration fee, as well as the conference fee.

Authors must register and submit their paper through the online paper
submission system.

Accepted papers will be published with the CCGRID2009 conference proceedings.

SELECTION OF PAPERS FOR THE WORKSHOP
