	XAL is a Java framework for developing accelerator physics applications for the commissioning and operation of the Spallation Neutron Source. It was designed to be extensible and has evolved to support ongoing accelerator operations. In particular, the on-line model and applications have been extended to support the Ring. Core XAL design features eased the extension from Linac to Ring support and in some cases made it transparent. We discuss the recent advances and future directions in XAL and the current efforts to open the project to broader collaboration.

TPPA08	Java Swing-Based Plotting Package Residing Within XAL	102
	P. Chu SLAC, Menlo Park, California T. A. Pelaia, A. P. Shishlo ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	A Java swing-based data plotting package residing within the XAL framework is presented. The data types are described that can be used for charts, bar charts, and color-surface plots. The algorithms, performance, interactive capabilities, limitations, and the best usage practices of this plotting package are discussed.
TPPA09	XAL Application Framework and Bricks GUI Builder	105
	T. A. Pelaia ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	The XAL Application Framework is a framework for rapidly developing document-based Java applications with a common look and feel along with many built-in user interface behaviors. The Bricks GUI builder consists of a modern application and framework for rapidly building user interfaces in support of true Model-View-Controller compliant Java applications. Bricks and the XAL Application Framework allow developers to rapidly create quality applications.
RPPB04	SNS Logbook	609
	M. Giannella, B. V. Horn, J. G. Patton, T. A. Pelaia ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	An electronic logbook has been developed for the Spallation Neutron Source. This logbook serves as a means of chronologically recording daily operations activities and experiences and communicating them to appropriate groups. The logbook is database-driven and integrates into our existing database schema. The interface to the logbook is web-based and works with most modern web browsers on the major platforms. Additionally, a Java package provides a simple mechanism to post entries from within our XAL applications.
RPPB23	SCORE – A Save, Compare, and Restore Application for Snapshotting Machine Settings	656
	J. G. Patton, T. A. Pelaia, J. Galambos ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	SCORE is an application used to snapshot machine settings. Features include sorting by systems and subsystems, comparing live values with saved values, and database storage of the information. The compare feature is useful for diagnosing problems, and the restore feature is useful in recovering good beam tune. Features of the application and performance experience with respect to data base retrieval and live comparison will be discussed.
FOAB01	Imaging System Integration at the SNS	714
	W. Blokland, K. C. Goetz, T. A. Pelaia, T. J. Shea ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
	Over the past several years, a variety of imaging systems have been deployed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL's) Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The systems have supported accelerator instrumentation, neutron beam measurement, target commissioning, and laser diagnostics. For each application, performance requirements drove the choice of camera technology, and this naturally led to a variety of interfaces. This paper will describe the experience gained during the integration and operation of these systems. Several challenges will be highlighted, including algorithms for quantitative measurements, correlation with other accelerator data, real-time video distribution, and storage of large data sets. Although heterogeneous systems must continue to be deployed to meet imaging needs, some common tools and technologies have been identified and are expected to enhance system integration efforts.
