Abstract
An architecture for online remote operation of a polymer crystallization experiment was refined, beta tested in actual use conditions, and extended based on feedback from those tests. In addition, an application for graphically simulating macroscopic crystal spherulite growth was developed for use as an educational tool. Finally, the experiment was used in the design process for modifying the generic iLab framework to incorporate interactive functionality. Specifically, a reservation model and design changes to the experiment storage and service broker were proposed based on the Polymerlab, and the experiment was used as a testbed for initial implementation of some of the proposed systems.
