TheGridarchitecture(or,moregenerally,theservice-orientedarchitecture,
SOA),viewedasatoolfortheintegrationofdistributedresources,playsasig-
nificantrole,notonlyasmanagerofcomputationalresources,butincreasingly
as aggregator of measurement instrumentation and pervasive large-scale data
acquisitionplatforms(e.g.,sensornetworks).Inthiscontext,thefunctionality
of a service-oriented architecture allows managing, maintaining, and exploit-
ing heterogeneous and geographically sparse instrumentation and acquisition
devices in a unified way, by providing standardized interfaces and common
working environments to their users. This is achieved through the properties
ofisolationfromthephysicalnetworkandfromthepeculiaritiesoftheinstru-
mentation, granted by standard middleware, together with secure and flexible
mechanismstoseek,access,andaggregatedistributedresources.
Though the notion of cooperative sharing of laboratory instrumentation,
data and computing power in integrated virtual structures (collaboratories)
datesbackto1989,successiveadvancesinGridmiddlewarehavemainlyem-
phasizedtheaspectofdistributedcomputation,withrespecttotheaccesstoand
controlofreallaboratoryinstrumentationandmeasurementdevices.Morere-
cently,agrowinginteresthasdevelopedtowardsuchinfrastructures.However,
making real instruments become full members of the Grid requires a number
of advances in research and development of additional functionalities, to be
integrated in existing middleware architectures. Noticeable efforts in this di-
rectionhavebeen,amongothers,theCIMA(CommonInstrumentMiddleware
Architecture)project,fundedbytheNationalScienceFoundation(NSF)inthe
United States, and the GRIDCC (Grid Enabled Remote Instrumentation with
