2. Current Experiment on Palm Lab Information from each hosts are collected separately. The experiment data are not centralized and time synchronized.

3. Project Goal Create an extensible network environment for integrating different hardware data collection systems used in research experiments To have a centralized information store of significant data collected from the multiple systems and time synchronized. Tasks Create protocol specification for data to be passed between research collection system and the Experiment Management System (EMS). Install all required support software for the EMS (OS, Web Server, Database). Produce a web based user interface for the EMS system that allows researchers control over experiments and consolidated research data. Create EMS server software that that can communicate to the Agents using this protocol and store information into a database

7. Initial Problems With Possible Workarounds Database Management – SQL Language and Architecture – Perl & ASP Experiment Data Mangement – Live Data Stream (via intra/internet)

8. Forthcoming Difficulties Locating experiment data on the host Type of data Location of data GUI administration to administer the experiments. Timed start and stop functions Data Transfer What will the environmental topology consist of?
