Outline How to get more detailed UI specs Some fixed points Early Prototype UI specs Final Prototype UI specs Here is the outline of this talk. I’ll begin with a description of project goals, I’ll spend some words on development approach which s quite new and on system architecture We’ll see some screenshots of EVC application and of some collaboration tools At the end I’ll present status and possible developments pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA
How to get more detailed UI specs What is the UI? A glue to the other SC components Detailed examination of survey results how much the prototype matches the survey? Detailed examination of the feedback from zero level prototype usage Other volunteers? Here is the outline of this talk. I’ll begin with a description of project goals, I’ll spend some words on development approach which s quite new and on system architecture We’ll see some screenshots of EVC application and of some collaboration tools At the end I’ll present status and possible developments pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA

User stories? Far remote operation of an accelerator facility (i.e. the ELETTRA Synchrotron Radiation Facility) involves: maintenance of the accelerator and its troubleshooting, the repair of delicate equipment performing collaborative machine physics measurements with other laboratories performing commissioning and set ups at remote locations pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA

Secure Instrument Integration Remote User / Observer MVL Framework: Secure access Secure transactions Web Server-based Instrument Publish URL to MVL framework VNC Server-based Instrument Publish host name / password to MVL framework pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA
To Do: IVI-based VI Deliverables: Getting familiar with the IVI approach and the test instrument Defining a list of MVL-supported generic virtual instruments based on IVI class-compliant drivers Defining a list of supported instrument-specific functions and attributes pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA
Architecture Deliverables: Implementation (LabView) of virtual instruments Integration of virtual instruments into the MVL framework Integration in the framework of a software, cook-book, design-patterns, components repository pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA

Todo List Enhanced Security Set-up an Identity Provider password check, limited time system accounts, X.509 certificates Set-up an Identity Provider Understand the single sign-on Single Sign-on (…VNC…) VRVS (…API for booking…) or other video conference tools Definition of a setup for video-signal integration VNC (size mismatch) which version (parameters) Better awareness (…cursors on VNC shared…and not only) Feedback collecting tool, Bug tracking and signalling tool pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA
Todo List Create a Web-Service for the TTF/other control system (sinoptics) eLogBook Provide a simple installation Provide it as a Web Service To improve the error handling Better Administration Create help and troubleshooting info Find the best way of a simple to install/configure tool-set/ wizards? Different setups (light vs heavy client, fixed vs mobile server) Migrate to portlet tecnology? pugliese@elettra.trieste.it scafuri@elettra.trieste.it Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA
