Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present the design of the integration of radio-astronomical VLBI experiments with the Grid environment. The current status of the VLBI process is described, and the main part of this document presents the proposed architecture for the development of the next generation e-VLBI system. This design was created for the purpose of the EXPReS project [12], partially funded by the European Commission (FP6 – IST).
Key words:
