The open Interconnected Science Ecosystem (INTERSECT) architecture connectsscientific instruments and robot-controlled laboratories with computing anddata resources at the edge, the Cloud or the high-performance computing centerto enable autonomous experiments, self-driving laboratories, smartmanufacturing, and artificial intelligence driven design, discovery andevaluation. Its a novel approach consists of science use case design patterns,a system of systems architecture, and a microservice architecture.

The INTERSECT architecture documentation is written inReStructured Text (RST)format and usesSphinx to generate theWeb-based documentation.
