  1. The Materials Microcharacterization Collaboratory - Progress FY98 Michael C. Wright Oak Ridge National Laboratory MICS ORNL Annual Program Review Oak Ridge, TN August 19, 1998

  2. Participants Oak Ridge National Laboratory Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign National Institutes of Standards and Technology Argonne National Laboratory Support DOE - Mathematical Informational and Computational Sciences DOE - Basic Energy Sciences DOE - Energy Efficiency DOC - NIST US Industry Multinational Industry Partners Gatan, Inc. RJ Lee Instruments Ltd. EMiSPEC Systems, Inc. Philips Electron Optics NSA - Hitachi Scientific Instruments JEOL USA, Inc. Sun Microsystems, Inc. Graham Technology Solutions, Inc. MMC Is a Widely Distributed Project

  3. MMC Is Moving Forward • We have automated many instrument operations • One cannot have remote control without computer control • We have put web video everywhere • 38 video streams at last count • We have several instruments online today • Now that the tools are ready, many more will be online soon • We have actively promoted electronic collaboration • Demos, not just talks, at major events in the US and abroad • Our industrial partners are active • This is not easy to do but is critical for wide spread adoption of our technologies in the future • We are active in education • Involved in several classrooms and schools, and have developed a proposal with ORAU for significantly greater interaction with universities

  4. Our Industrial Partners Are Responding to the Needs of the MMC • RJ Lee is using streaming web video as part of its analytical services business and is incorporating remote operation in its next product • Gatan and EMiSPEC are implementing remote control in their next version updates • JEOL has changed its approach to design of its next generation control system due to its interaction with the MMC • Philips is announcing a new software interface for remote control at a trade show next month • Hitachi has converted its SEM to full computer control

  5. MMC Is Promoting Collaboratories • A partial list of demos this past year ... • Dreilaendertagung 1997, University of Regensburg - Germany, September 1997 • NGI/HPCC meeting, NASA Ames Research Laboratory, Moffet Field, September 1997 • Philips Electron Optic Research Lab - The Netherlands, October 1997 • 3rd Multinational Congress on Electron Microscopy - Slovenia, October 1997 • 4th Interlaboratory Internet Information Workshop, Gatlinburg, Tn, October 1997 • JEOL, Ltd. factory, Akishima, Japan, November 1997 • SuperComputing ‘97 - San Jose, November 1997 • Vice President Al Gore - Oak Ridge, January 1998 • Ford Research Lab, Dearborn, January 1998 • Workshop on TelePresence Microscopy - Hobart, Tasmania,  February 1998 • PittCon  '98 - New Orleans, March 1998 • Netamorphosis NGI Demostrations, Highway 1 - Washington, DC, March 1998 • NSF MRSEC Director's Meeting - April  1998 • Frontiers of Electron Microscopy in Materials Science - Irsee, Germany, April 1998 • MMC Congressional Expo - Washington, DC, June 1998 • Microscopy & Microanalysis ‘98 - Atlanta, July 1998 • High Performance Distributed Computing - Chicago, July 1998 • Computing in High Energy Physics, Chicago, August 1998 • Chemistry and the Internet, Beckman Institute, Irvine, Ca, September 1998

  6. Security Is Vital on the Web • We are working with Bill Johnston’s Distributed Security Architectures project and intend to utilize the LBNL Akenti certificate mechanism for enhanced authorization • We have installed a customized CA to issue role-based X.509 certificates • We have installed Firewall1 to protect the ORNL machines

  7. Web-based Remote Control of VG AAEM at ANL

  8. Web-based Remote Control of Zeiss SEM at UIUC

  9. Timbuktu-based Remote Control of Hitachi SEM at ORNL

  10. Java-based Remote Control of the 1.5MeV Kratos HVEM at LBNL/NCEM

  11. Timbuktu-based Remote Control of Neutron Residual Stress Facility

  12. Web-based Remote Control of Neutron Residual Stress Facility

  13. We Are Using the ORNL Electronic Notebook for Real Science

  14. Network Based Video Conferencing is Possible, but Immature

  15. Live Web Video Works Well Today
