The National Collaboratory Research is structured to develop the technologies and tools that will enable scientists and engineers to easily collaborate across geographic boundaries and to interact cooperatively in common problem solving and experimental activities. Elements of this research address the basic technology and services that underlie a number of national challenge applications including energy demand management and remote environmental monitoring.
Information Infrastructure technology R&D is conducted in information navigation and analysis tools, in hierarchical distributed information storage, advanced collaborative multimedia environments and in information surety. Networking research activities include security (such as providing secure information retrieval and search mechanisms and interoperable authentications realms), secure software distribution intelligent user interfaces for accessing the network, interoperable interactive multimedia systems, high speed LANs and WANs, telepresence, protocols and services to support energy demand and supply management as well as collaborative work environments. Part of this research activity will investigate and develop immersive environment (e.g., CAVE) use of high speed low latency networks and protocols. This activity includes evaluation and use of ATM capabilities (e.g., Quality Of Service, signaling) to support advanced applications as well as provide interagency collaborative environments. |

|
Defined a security architecture that provides transparent and easily administered security services.
Software developed to allow remote access to Advanced Light Source (ALS) experiments across ESnet was deployed in version 1.0 release. Developed a prototype system for monitoring power quality over the Internet and for providing associated energy services. |
Integrate existing collaborative tools into the National Collaboratory Framework. Virtual reality advancement to allow a CAVE to CAVE interaction of at least twenty minutes.
Generalize and package the components developed for the on-line access of the ALS for general use in remote collaborative access of facilities and instruments. First release of LabSpace software--an integrated media server for providing hypermedia indexing and information navigation and discovery, n-way multipoint media services and parallel interactive serving. Prototype a system allowing multiple commercial building monitoring and operations from a single remotely-sited control room. Prototype, on a small scale, residential energy demand management using information infrastructure (i.e., the Internet). Make the adaptive secure high speed communications library for hi-end systems available for evaluation and use. Prototype the Secure Software distribution system. |
