Brief Description
of the Collaboratory :
|
|
DYNACORE is a collaboratory that joins astronomers in a loose federation (project-oriented associations) that allows one or more users to collaborate using one or more instruments (e.g. telescopes) for experimentation or observation. DYNACORE's software and systems architecture tools offer remote operation capabilities for experiments and facilities that require real-time control and multimedia information feedback. Using communications infrastructure available to European researchers, user(s) and/or the system can access reference archives during experiment execution, preparation, or analysis; video-conference; share blackboards; and use other tools that allow inter-user communication and information exchange. A set of operation rules define the instrument(s) and allow a dynamical configuration of DYNACORE.

the main components of DYNACORE and its relations
|
 |
Several users participate in a DYNACORE session, related with a particular instrument.
The same user can be connected to several DYNACORE sessions (using several instruments).
DYNACORE users can communicate and exchange information among them (collaboration).
