MIT-NISAC Center for Grid Computing Posting Date: March 10, 2003 This project develops a Web Services architecture to support agent based simulation of the US Critical Infrastructure across multiple platforms. The MIT Grid Computing Center, in collaboration with NISAC, has set up a distributed hardware and software test bed for agent-based web services simulation. The initial nodes are in NISAC and in MIT.

A prototype .NET version of Globus OGSA GT3 has been developed and is being tested. Robot World Posting Date: Feb 10, 2003 Robot World will systematize the deployment and running of courses that use design projects as a vehicle for teaching engineering. Project Based Learning courses pose teaching and logistic challenges in that they typically use hardware and software laboratories and have student teams that operate with a high degree of autonomy. The initial focus of Robot World will be on four MIT courses that use the building of robots and robot software to motivate students to learn various aspects of engineering. This project will take an engineering product development approach to assembling customer needs and deploying a range of Web Services to meet those needs. We believe that the lessons learned during creation of Robot World will scale to the broader engineering community. Sports Management Posting Date: Feb 10, 2003 The objective: to facilitate the instantaneous challenge and acceptance of tennis/squash matches. The MIT community has approximately 300 active tennis players, with an equal number of squash players. Often finding an opponent of comparable skill that can fit your schedule is difficult. Live Simulation Mapping Agent Posting Date: Feb 10, 2003 The Live Simulation Mapping Agent is a program that acts as a geo-spatial computation agent. It provides useful mapping visualizations and interacts with other agents. It can provide important routing and live-update demographic and infrastructure data. * LSMA is an "add-on" program that allows users to do special feature-searches and lookups in MapPoint 2002. * Future versions will provide programmatic interface exposure that can be harnessed over the Internet, to coordinate with other distributed agent services. Engineering Systems Learning Center Posting Date: Dec 12, 2002 Enabling new learning about complex engineering systems - impacting education, research, practice and policy. Course Portal Posting Date Date: Jan 17, 2003 Intelligent Engineering Systems Laboratory (IESL) has created a system using Microsoft Web technology to enhance education processes – for professors, students and administrators. Developed to be highly scalable across institutions and countries, it can support an unlimited number of courses and students. The CADDIE Collaborative Architectures for a Distributed Instructional Environment is designed to take advantage of the wide range of collaboration technology available on today's highly calable Web Platforms, including messenger, voice over IP and real time and streaming video. Event Management Posting Date: Oct 17, 2002 The "events" project enables organizations to schedule, announce, and administer events and to provide online registration to these events. This application also allows organizations to sell tickets for these events and can be used in conjunction with the Ecommerce application for this purpose. Intelligent Engineering Systems Laboratory - Poster Cover for Ed Tech Posting Date: Feb 10, 2003 The mission of the Intelligent Engineering Systems Lab (IESL) is to improve the human's ability to engineer large-scale systems using advances in systems engineering, cognitive sciences and information technology.
