VIRA: A CIMA Based System for the Operation of Remote Scientific Instruments

The common Instrument Middleware Architecture (CIMA) has been adopted and is being further developed as part of a project that includes the use of virtual instruments in a Web browser driven system for remote access to scientific instruments. Enhancements include distinct separation of concern for the modular components that make up the system, and a flexible message parcel schema.
