WP3: Infrastructure Web-Based Database

Peter McIntosh (STFC, Daresbury Laboratory)

TIARA Mid-Term Review Meeting, Madrid, 12 - 14th June 2012.

TIARA Objectives• The main objective of TIARA is the integration of

national and international accelerator R&D infrastructures into a single distributed European accelerator R&D facility with the goal of developing and strengthening state-of-the-art research, competitiveness and innovation in a sustainable way in the field of accelerator Science and Technologies in Europe.

• Besides maximizing the benefits for the owners of the infrastructures and their users, TIARA aims at establishing a framework for developing and supporting strong joint European programmes:– for accelerator Research and Development,– for Education and Training,– for Enhancing Innovation in collaboration with industry.

WP3 Infrastructure Survey• Organisation• Facility• Infrastructure:

– Description– Status– Unique features– Is the infrastructure available for TIARA access?– How to access– Support available – Contact details– Keywords

• Key Accelerator Research Area • Key Technical Issues• Costing Model:

– Operations staffing level (FTE’s)– Annual operating costs– Costing model employed– Investment cost

Defined by WP4 (see P Pierini Talk)

WP4: KARA and Applications

Infrastructure Data Collected• 140 infrastructures surveyed and listed in the D3.1 Infrastructure

Survey Report, Annex 2:– https://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1426607

• In the process of uploading infrastructures:– Austria 1– Denmark 1– Finland 1– France 19– Germany 13– Italy 13– Poland 6– Slovenia 1– Spain 8– Sweden 3– Switzerland 61– UK 13

• 85% of ISR survey data currently available in database (13/6/12).• More infrastructures continually identified, which are being added

as appropriate.

Contributing Labs & Institutes

Database Development Platform• STFC database development team:

– Stephen Buckley (STFC, ASTeC)– Joan Berry (STFC, CSE)– Stephen McGill (STFC, ROE)

• Database – MS SQL server 2005 database.

• Server platforms for both web application and database are Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition.

• Web front end - Internet Information Services 6 (IIS 6 SP2), written in ASP, Javascript and VBScript technologies.

• Both packages running on a Windows 2003 server.

• Cookies are used throughout the web application and must be enabled on the clients computer.

• SSL encryption provision included:– https://tiara.astec.ac.uk   

Web-based Database Requirements

• Allow TIARA participants to register new test infrastructures for TIARA purposes.

• Allow any potential user to interface and interrogate the database to obtain all required information relating to a infrastructure availability.

• Processes comprise 4 main functionalities.

1. Data entry portal:– Prescriptive unambiguous question entry system.

2. Data storage and manipulation:– Standard SQL processes employed.

3. Data post processing and interrogation:– Appropriate categorisation, filtering, data export and display.

4. Data security provision:– Restricted data entry and data encryption.– UID/password for Public and Administrative access.

Additional Features to be Included

• Multiple KARA/KTI input selection:– Demo developed, but needs further testing.

• As infrastructure survey initiated before the database development, need to remove remaining data ambiguity:– Introduce additional selection options rather than free text

input.– Assimilate infrastructure descriptions to a smaller, more

concise set of categories, refinement underway.• Provide a normalised operational & investment cost:

– Currency, exchange rate, date to be understood, under review.

• Provide infrastructure plotting capability:– Number of infrastructures per Country.– Infrastructure type per Country.– Infrastructures open for access and location.– Infrastructure investment with variety of filters.

Multiple KARA/KTI Input Selection

Summary• 140 accelerator infrastructure profiles/descriptions obtained

from 37 Laboratories, Institutes and/or Universities across Europe:– Details presented in D3.1 Infrastructure Survey Report.– More infrastructures being continually identified and included.

• Key Accelerator Research Areas (KARA) and Technical Issues (KTI) defined by WP4.

• Web-based database developed via WP3 coordination:– Undergoing testing and final stages of iteration.

• Accelerator infrastructures being categorised against KARA/KTIs.

• Improvements ongoing to refine survey data collected and provide ease of interrogation.

• TIARA will use this information to identify infrastructure priorities and deficiencies:– Prioritisation for future FP8 R&D funding.
