October 2002Internet 2 Remoe Instrumentation Working Group Slide 4 Working Group Charter (1/2) Introduction Numerous communities and research fields are using remote instruments to assist their work as advanced networks allow much more sophisticated devices to be used. Groups are separately learning to use and optimize these instruments but, to date, have not effectively shared their experience and knowledge. The Cross- Disciplinary Remote Instrumentation Working Group's primary goal is to provide a forum through which these discussions can take place. Mission The proposed mission of the Remote Instrumentation Working Group is to: 1. Establish a community who create and use remote instruments. 2. Provide a forum through which knowledge can be shared. 3. Identify areas in which the community at large can benefit from shared work. Introduction
