Some of this week's stories

ANL-designed `next generation internet'
debuts at supercomputing conference

Assembled by Argonne computer scientists and networking engineers, the high-speed network links 30 supercomputers across the nation into a powerful new computing resource. Called the I-WAY, the network is a national testbed linking the country's fastest supercomputers and most advanced visualization environments for collaborative scientific research.

The pioneering computer network integrates existing high-bandwidth networks (those with large information-carrying capacity) with telephone systems.

"By combining computational science simulations with a powerful virtual reality interface, the I-WAY is enabling the development of a new class of supercomputing applications," said Rick Stevens, director of Argonne's Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS) Division. I-WAY applications will be pushing the limits on network bandwidth and latency (the delay between a request for information and its delivery).

The network will be used to explore wide-area visual supercomputing hardware and software to pinpoint and correct any problems before a national or international information superhighway is built.

Supercomputing `95 is an annual meeting of high-performance computing and communications users.

The backbone of the I-WAY is an experimental Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network, said Tim Kuhfuss, associate director of Argonne's Electronics and Communication Technologies Division. ATM is an emerging telecommunications technology capable of simultaneously passing high-quality video, data, image and voice traffic hundreds of times faster than conventional technology.

Telecommunication providers, including AT&T, MCI and Sprint, and equipment vendors are participating in the research or donating equipment and software. Participating vendors can develop and test new products on the I-WAY. These products could end up in the mainstream commercial market. Argonne is coordinating these efforts.

During the week-long conference, 61 advanced applications are being demonstrated, ranging from real-time visualization of clouds to virtual reality interfaces for computational fluid dynamics and finite element models.

Argonne, the University of Illinois at Chicago and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications are working together to provide the advanced information architecture for the conference.

More information about I-WAY is available on the World Wide Web.

Cafeteria kitchen, serving area to be renovated

The project will begin as soon as Dec. 15. If so, the serving area will be closed during the last week before the holiday shutdown, with limited food service available in the main dining room.

Details of the project will be published in a future Argonne News.

R&D 100 Award entries sought

R&D 100 winners are "the most significant technical products of the year" as selected by the magazine on the basis of importance, uniqueness, and usefulness. "Technical products" include materials, processes, software, programs, or systems of scientific or technical origin or use. To be eligible, the entry must have been marketed or available in 1995.

ITD will pay entrance fees. Winners will receive Pacesetter Awards and also will be honored at the annual Patent Awards Banquet.

To enter the 1996 R&D 100 competition, employees should complete a technology summary form, available from each division office or the Technology Transfer bulletin board in the Argonne-East's Building 213 cafeteria. Completed forms should be sent to Margaret Hanley, Bldg. 900, by Friday, Dec. 15.

Completed forms will be reviewed by the Industrial Technology Development Center (ITD). Specific recommendations for preparing the final entry, along with an entry form, will be provided in early January.

For more information, call Hanley at ext. 2-6393.

Security: Lock up before leaving for shutdown

The vast majority of items reported missing to the Security Department are easily transportable and have a high resale value: Computer equipment, small electronic devices, and hand and power tools.

The holiday shutdown, from Friday, Dec. 22, through Monday, Jan. 1, 1996, provides an opportunity for thieves because there are few employees on site, reducing the chance of detection and apprehension, said Dave Metta, acting manager of Argonne's Security Department.

"The laboratory's first line of defense against criminal activity is employees," Metta said. "Protective force personnel can't be everywhere all of the time." Security depends on employees observing and reporting suspicious and criminal activity.

"Reasonable, common-sense deterrents" are the second line of defense, he said. In general, and especially during the 10-day shutdown period, employees should:

* Lock buildings, office doors, desks, filing cabinets and storage areas. Check double-doors: some have a brass bolt-lever on the upper and lower inside edge of the left door in addition to the key lock on the right.

* Secure all keys and attractive, valuable and easily transportable items. Locking cable "tie-downs" should be used on all computer equipment.

* Remove valuable items from places where they'll be unattended: docks, hallways, wire mesh storage areas, "or other areas which don't provide six-sided, lockable protection." These items should be stored in areas where they can't be seen by casual observation.

* To report crimes in progress, call 911. Report suspicious activity to the protective force at ext. 2-5731 or 2-5730.

A variety of efforts are underway to deal with a recent rise in thefts, Metta said, including random vehicle searches and additional building patrols. "But for these efforts to be truly effective, we need the assistance and involvement of each and every employee," he said.

The Security Department can advise employees on property protection. For information, call ext. 2-5737.

Applications taken for next WIST initiator

Toy drive continues

Bethel New Life is a partner with Argonne in several recycling and environmental projects to help restore Chicago's West Garfield Park area. The toy drive will benefit children of West Garfield Park.

Toys must be in working condition, clean and intact. Suggested items include puzzles, games, books, cassettes, bicycles, tricycles, wagons, dolls, roller skates, ice skates and electronic toys. Toy guns or toys in poor condition will not be accepted.

For more information, call Norm Peterson (OTD) at ext. 2-7229.

Newcomers' spouses invited to coffee

The coffee will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the home of Dorothy Sacher, 926 Chicago Ave., Downers Grove.

For more information, call Susan Berger at (708) 963-3735.

Dec. 18 will be last issue of 1995

Since there will be no issue Jan. 8, all news, seminar listings and classified ads for that week should be submitted in time for the Dec. 18 issue. Deadline is 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 11.

Dec. 12 workshop to focus on
energy efficiency, affordable housing

Argonne is working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to bring energy efficiency to affordable housing through the use of home energy rating systems (HERS) in HUD 203(k) mortgages.

HERS is a computer simulation model that assesses the energy efficiency of single family and small multifamily buildings. HUD uses 203(k) mortgages to help low-income families purchase affordable housing. HERS raters use the model to help them in their evaluation of a building's shell, including window and door sizes; mechanics such as the furnace; and air infiltration from outside the building.

A training and mentorship model for HERS raters has been developed within the Chicago Empowerment Zone's West Cluster Housing Committee. The models provide classroom training followed by one-on-one field work with certified HERS raters.

Limited seating is available. Interested Argonne employees should call Jim Cavallo (DIS) at 2-8688.

Argonne to host risk analysis meeting

The evening's agenda includes risk topics of interest to local chapter members and discussion of SRA's annual meeting.

Membership in the national organization is not a requirement for participation in local chapter activities.

Those interested in attending should contact Tom Wolsko (DIS) at ext. 2-3727 or by e-mail at tdwolsko@anl.gov.

Bus ride available to `Pittcon'

The conference will be held at McCormick Place in Chicago March 3-8, 1996.

The bus schedule will be announced in a future issue of Argonne News. To reserve a seat on the bus, or for more information, call Pat Canaday (OPA) at ext. 2-1790 by Dec. 19.
