Claudio Scafuri
Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A.

2. 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

3. 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?

5. 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

7. 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

8. 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
Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA

9. 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

11. 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
Sincrotrone Trieste / ELETTRA

12. 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?
