A TMO-Based Tele-operation Model: Supporting Real-Time Applications in Grid Environments

We frequently need to access geographically distributed remote instruments, experimental equipments, databases, human resources with respect to real-time in grid computing environments. In the real world, it is very difficult to implement real-time models in uncontrolled distributed environments and to support well-defined interfaces from real-time systems to external systems. We propose an easy-to-use TMO-based tele-operation model with less strict real-time constraints in grid environments. Using the proposed model, we design and develop a TMO-based tele-operation system for real industrial applications used for construction instruments, space probing instruments, etc.
