A vision for a collaborative control room for ITER

A proposal for the ITER remote participation system in Japan

“…The ITER global analysis system is required for all ITER participants to use ITER raw data. The GRID technology may provide a solution for the ITER global file server and analysis system [6,13]. Those required technologies and systems should be developed by international collaborations.…”

“…The secure sockets layer virtual private network (SSL-VPN) may be useful to join the SNET from the Internet. Other authentication systems for the ITER participation are discussed by Schissel [6]. The firewall also makes the demilitarized zone (DMZ) where WEB servers for publicity are installed.…”

Remote participation in ITER exploitation—conceptual design

“…Off-site functions mostly include means of remote participation as well as a rich environment for pre-experiment and post-experiment analysis of the scientific data. An overview of these functions and the candidate technologies for them is given in [2,3].…”

Atomic data activities by the OP and IP consortia: past, present and new perspectives within the VAMDC

“…The need to support remote operation of the experimental facilities will require collaborative efforts involving over 2,000 scientists worldwide. The fusion community is moving towards the vision of remote hardware control of the experiment [65,117,118], and is aware of the importance of data curation before the launch of the experiment; e.g. the development of a set of software tools (MDSplus 43 for Model Data System) for data acquisition and storage.…”
