Joel has worked on several projects at ORNL. These
include the VIPAR Project, The MABES Project, and the Collaborative
Management Environment Project.
Joel is a researcher on the The Virtual
Information Processing Agent Research (VIPAR) project.
The VIPAR
project explores how a group of agents can monitor online
newspaper sites, collect information from them, organize the
information and present it to users in a graphical format.
Technology developed in the VIPAR project
has been used in several other projects. The CIPHER project uses
VIPAR technology to summarize and present suspicious
computer network traffic. The SDM project uses VIPAR technology
to reduce, collect, and present a massive distributed dataset from
a large astrophysics simulation. This research has resulted in several
division awards and two software patents.
The Manufacturing Agent-based Emulation System (MABES) is a system
that facilitates "what-if" modeling of manufacturing cells. MABES
was used to model a portion of the F-16 manufacturing process. This
research resulted in software patent that subsequently was licensed
by a private company.
The Collaborative Management Environment project's goal was to
create a environment to manage and analyze research funding
across the National Laboratory Complex. This research led to
the PME system which was adopted by DOE. Joel received an
award from the Deparment of Energy for his contributions to
this project.
