AIDA Web Interface
Tony Johnson, Victor Serbo, Max Turri
AIDA Workshop, CERN, July 2003
Goals
 Provide access to Histogram plots without requiring any
software installation
 Putting results on to the web for collaborators etc.
For example for viewing results of “quality control” plots
 Viewing “live” histograms on the web for
Online monitoring
Monitoring progress of batch jobs
 Add as much functionality as possible in a “generic” way
so that it can be used by others (with minimal work)
 Complete “out-of-the-box” web application
Packaged as a .war file for use with any J2EE app server
– (e.g. Tomcat)
 Configurable via a simple .ini file (or better via a web interface)

Features
 Current Feature set
 Display of “AIDA Tree” for selection of histograms
 Displays plots as .png or .gif images in browser
Allows (limited) control of image properties
 Allows (limited) control over plot properties
 Allows comparison to reference plots (including Kolmagorov test)
 Allows export of plots to PDF, EPS, SVG, SWF, GIF, PNG, etc.
 Planned features
 Extend to support n-tuples as well as histograms
Dynamic definition of new columns and cuts (evaluators, filters)
 Web based fitting (including function definition)
 Support multiple plots per page
Thumbnail browser
 Extend which plot options can be configured through web
 Allow users to retain settings via cookies

Future Work
 Implement all the “future” features I have discussed
 Integrate into JAS3 (or other AIDA apps)
 Publish to web feature
Will eventually be coupled with log book plugin
