  • Publication number: 20150242395
    Abstract: A generic language is provided that can be translated to fit a configuration of a specific site to enable equipment sharing of a site provider with a user. A user can write a program using the generic language to describe an experiment. A central system can determine sites that are available to perform the experiment. Upon site selection and sample availability, a translation system translates the program into a set of operations to be performed based on a site-specific configuration. A schedule system may schedule the operations to be performed on the equipment according to constraints provided by the program, site operator, and/or equipment. A task manager may implement the operations as scheduled. A report describing operations performed and results obtained can be generated by the selected site upon completion of the set of operations. Products, samples and/or reports can then be returned to the user.
