Call for papers for the Workshop on Scientific Instruments and Sensors on the Grid at CCGrid 2009.

This workshop will explore the integration of instruments and sensors into a computation Grid and the challenges associated with doing this to collect raw observations used in experiments. Paper submissions are due by 15 December.

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

Victoria University of Wellington's Dr Ian Welsh is a member of the organising committee for the workshop.

This workshop is being held at the 9th International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid, Shanghai, China, 18 - 21 May 2009.
