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