Abstract
The Virtual Beamline demonstration project is a remote collaboration environment designed to enable researchers to interact with the Protein Crystallography 1 beamline(PX1) at the Australian Synchrotron.
There are 5 main sections to the VBL: induction, training, storage gateway, beamline access and collaboration.
I propose to demonstrate this service, focusing on remote interaction and collaboration via web 2.0 portal implementations and HD videoconferencing. I also wish to demonstrate the use of high bandwidth networking in the movement of large data sets from the facility to Grid, SRB data solutions or to lower bandwidth personal computing solutions.
I will discuss the implications of remote instrument access and large scale data movements in relation to eResearch and associated middleware requirements.
