IRIS Structure


• IRIS has the responsibility for providing modern instrumentation resources for the research community. In 1997, the IRIS Executive Committee appointed an Instrumentation Committee to review the aging, vintage mid-80s hardware and to develop a plan for acquisition of next-generation instrumentation where required for all IRIS program activities.

IRIS Instrumentation Committee


Charge The Instrumentation Committee should be pan-IRIS Consortium,

spanning all four programs. As technology evolves, the Instrumentation Committee should be cognizant of cross-programmatic system requirements, and pursue goals of system design that will satisfy these cross-programmatic needs.

The Instrumentation Committee should be proactive, encouraging research and development as appropriate, and seeking new products that could meet current, future, and unexpected needs for sensors, data acquisition systems, communications and data distribution hardware.

The Instrumentation Committee should be responsive to specific needs for technical advice, by providing reports and recommendations to the IRIS Coordination Committee and Standing Committees when requested.

The Instrumentation Committee should also serve as IRIS liaison to similar bodies for other programs such as ANSS.
