IRIS Structure

IRIS Instrumentation Committee

• 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.

Charge
IRIS Instrumentation Committee

• 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.
