HVEM Grid: Experiences in constructing an electron microscopy Grid

Abstract

This paper proposes HVEM-Grid, which is the cornerstone for tele-instrumentation infrastructure. The proposed architecture is mainly oriented for people whoso primary work is to get access to a remotely-located instrument, a High Voltage Electron Microscopy (HVEM). Our architecture is designed to materialize all the necessary requirements in allowing the user to 1) control every single part of HVEM in a fine-grained manner, 2) check the HVEM and observe various states of specimen, and 3) manipulate their high resolution 2-D images of the specimen. In that aspect, this paper suggests an HVEM Grid designed upon the concept of the Grid and Web Service which satisfies various types of user groups. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
