“…Stronger informational integration [13,14] and automation appear to be keys to improve the workflow, but the latter, in particular, collides with the freedom to overrule standard procedures, which is considered to be an important asset by ASDEX Upgrade's scientists to maintain maximum flexibility.…”

We present the current workflow from experiment proposals to the actual execution and evaluation of discharges at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. Requests for experiments are solicited from both within the IPP and from external collaborators in the yearly call-for-proposals, checked for feasibility and compliance with the project's research goals and collected in a proposal database. During the campaign shot requests are derived from the proposals and in weekly operation meetings the requests are mapped to a schedule (shotlist). Before the execution of discharges a complete set of configuration data needs to be assembled. After the execution follows the analysis (including the evaluation of the discharge as to its usefulness for the underlying proposal) and logging of the attained parameters in a physics logbook. The paper describes processes, software tools, and information management showing how they ultimately lead to an improved scientific productivity.

“…In relation to the type of customization we consider in this paper, namely customizing interface content, there has been research on customizing the type and amount of textual information displayed (e.g., description of items in a music player [45], help content in programming environments [27]). Other work has looked at allowing end-users to add or remove "modules" in web portals or apps, e.g., [2,6,35]. The modules could contain information in different modalities, including visualizations (e.g., stock charts), however, these studies focused primarily on overall customization activity, without distinguish between visualizationbased and other types of content.…”

“…The first four characteristics above were measured using wellestablished tests in perceptual psychology (namely the Kit of Factor-Referenced Cognitive Tests for PS, VS and SpM [16], and the Fukuda & Vogel's test for visual WM [19]). Vis literacy was measured using the test outlined in [7] 1 .…”

“…We also extend previous work by broadening findings on the value of personalization of content displayed by means of information visualizations. In particular, InfoVis-based content personalization has been formally studied in terms of system-driven adaptation [1,9,30,46,55], but not with customization. Here we provide insights on how effective personalization of InfoVis-based contents could be provided by combining customization and adaptation.…”

“…To improve this situation, a portal Web server that guides the user in retrieving the necessary information is required. There are several portal Web pages for nuclear-fusion experiments; for example, for the DIII-D project, General Atomic provides a portal page [4]. This page uses Web 2.0 technology to enable the user to create customizable interfaces.…”

Because the LHD project has been operating with the cooperation of many institutes in Japan, the remote participation facilities play an important role. Therefore, NIFS has been introducing these facilities to its remote participants. Because the authors regard Web services as essential tools for the current Internet communication, Web services for remote participation have been developed. However, because these services are dispersed among several servers in NIFS, users cannot find the required services easily. Therefore, the authors developed a portal Web server to list the existing and new Web services for the LHD experiment. The server provides services such as summary graph, plasma movie of the last plasma discharge, daily experiment logs, and daily experimental schedules. One of the most important information from these services is the summary graph. Usually, the plasma discharges of the LHD experiment are executed every three minutes. Between the discharges, the summary graph of the last plasma discharge is displayed on the front screen in the control room soon after the discharge is complete. The graph is useful in evaluating the last discharge, which is important information for determining the subsequent experiment schedule. Therefore, it is required to display the summary graph, which plots more than 10 data diagnostics, as soon as possible. On the other hand, the data-appearance time varies from one diagnostic to another. To display the graph faster, the new system retrieves the data asynchronously; several data retrieval processes work simultaneously, and the system plots the data all at once.
