Objective Using Internet tools and services available to European researchers, REMOT will develop and validate remote control of real-time experiments and facilities with feedback of multimedia results. Validation will be done by users in the fields of astronomy and plasma physics. The two independent demonstrations (in two real environments) will illustrate the feasibility of teleoperating experiments, and the suitability of the architecture developed. The project will visualise the potential of cost-effective shared access to expensive research facilities, as well as wider participation in joint research from throughout the EU.The REMOT project objective is to develop and validate a generic approach to allow remote control of scientific experiments and facilities that require real time operation and multimedia information feedback, using communications infrastructure available to European researchers. The validation of the generic approach will be performed by representatives from the two user communities participating in the project: the Astronomical community, which has telescopes located at far places -such as islands and/or mountains- and the Plasma Physics community, that is concentrating expensive experimental facilities in a few places in order to pool resources.A generic teleoperation system shall be built, using as much as possible available elements from other projects or off-the-shelf, plus ad-hoc software modules. The communications infrastructure will be based on the Internet, where necessary using underlying dedicated network infrastructures to ensure that real time and safety constraints can be met. Over this generic remote operation system, two independent demonstrators will be built in order to show the feasibility of teleoperating scientific experiments in two real environments, and the suitability of the architecture developed.The project results will potentially enable large savings, by allowing for shared and more effective access to expensive research facilities. Furthermore, the potential of performing remote experiments will also enable a wider participation in joint research undertakings from all regions of the community Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwarenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternetnatural sciencesphysical sciencesplasma physicsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomy Programme(s) FP4-TELEMATICS 2C - Specific programme of research and technological development and demonstration in the area of telematic applications of common interest, 1994-1998 Topic(s) B.3 - Telematics Applications for Research Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator TCP Sistemas e Ingenieria EU contribution No data Address C/ María Tubau, 5 28050 Madrid Spain See on map Total cost No data Participants (10) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all CENTRE DE DONNEES ASTRONOMIQUES DE STRASBOURG France EU contribution No data Address 11,RUE DE L4UNIVERSTITE 67000 STRASBOURG See on map Total cost No data INSTITUTO DE ASTROFISICA DE CANARIAS Spain EU contribution No data Address S/N,VIA LACEA 38200 LA LAGUNA See on map Total cost No data KIEPENHEUER-INSTITU FUER SONNENPHYSIK, STATE INSTITUTION Germany EU contribution No data Address 6,SCHONECKSTRASSE 79104 FREIBURG See on map Total cost No data LABORATORIO DE ASTROFISICA ESPACIAL Y FISICA FUNDAMENTAL Spain EU contribution No data Address 28080 VILLAFRANCA DEL CASTILLO See on map Total cost No data NORDIC OPTICAL TELESCOPE SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION Sweden EU contribution No data Address 9,SVANEGATAN 221 00 LUND See on map Total cost No data Osservatorio Astronomico di Trieste Italy EU contribution No data Address Via Tiepolo 11 34131 Trieste See on map Total cost No data PTJ - Projektträger Jülich, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH Germany EU contribution No data Address D-52425 Jülich See on map Links Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSIDAD DE LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA Spain EU contribution No data Address 2,ALFONSO XIII 35017 LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA See on map Total cost No data UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID Spain EU contribution No data Address 7,RAMINO DE MAEZTU 28040 MADRID See on map Total cost No data UTRECHT UNIVERSITY Netherlands EU contribution No data Address 5,PRINCETONPLEIN 3508 UTRECHT See on map Total cost No data
