Project Description

RETELAB – Un Laboratorio Virtual para la Red Nacional de Teledetección Oceanográfica.

Period: 2006-10-11 – 2009-03-30 (36 months).

Funded by: Ministerio ID

RETELAB born with the aim of providing the structure and architecture of a collaborative work environment and income distribution that constitutes a virtual laboratory as a necessary framework for the development of interdisciplinary research projects related to oceanographic remote sensing.

Retelab is a virtual laboratory for the Oceanographic research community. It is supported by a Grid infrastructure and its main objective is to provide an easy and useful tool for oceanographers, where computer skills are not an obstacle.  The Virtual Laboratory has been tested by the implementation and deployment of several oceanographic applications.

 

The project has resulted in a number of publications in conferences and journals, which described the project and its results:
