THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE THE RESEARCH EFFORT DESCRIBED IN THE CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL ENTITLED "MAPPING THE INNER HELIOSPHERE: IMPLEMENTING AJAX TECHNOLOGIES FOR LWS" DATED 10/23/06. THIS PROPOSAL WILL APPLY AJAX TECHNOLOGY TO THE CHALLENGE OF VIEWING LARGE AND SCIENTIFICALLY USEFUL IMAGES ON THE WEB. THE IMAGE ALGORITHM SUITE WE WILL DEVELOP WILL PROVIDE US THE ABILITY TO VIEW THE SOLAR DISK AND THE INNER HELIOSPHERE, LABELED WITH FEATURE RECOGNITION DATA PRODUCTS. IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO TAILOR IMAGE VIEWER WEB APPLICATIONS TO PARTICULAR SCIENTIFIC GOALS OF RELEVANCE TO THE LWS PROGRAM. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGIES HAVE BROUGHT SIGNIFICANT INNOVATION TO COMMERCIAL WEBSITES. THE WEBSITE HTTP://MAPS.GOOGLE.COM (GOOGLETM MAPS) IS A LANDMARK APPLICATION OF THESE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND AN EXAMPLE OF A NEW APPROACH TO WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGIES KNOWN AS AJAX. THE SOFTWARE DRIVING GOOGLETM MAPS ALLOWS USERS TO PAN, SCAN AND ZOOM AT WILL OVER AN APPARENT SINGLE ENORMOUS IMAGE OF THE EARTH IN A NATURAL AND INTUITIVELY APPEALING WAY. WE PROPOSE TO APPLY AJAX TECHNOLOGY TO LIVING WITH A STAR (LWS) APPLICATIONS BY CREATING A SUITE OF IMAGE RETRIEVAL, PROCESSING, DISPLAY AND STORAGE ALGORITHMS THAT WILL IMPLEMENT THE FUNCTIONALITY REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO VIEW AND MONITOR FEATURES ON THE SUN AND INNER HELIOSPHERE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS SUITE OF ALGORITHMS WILL BE THE ENGINE THAT WILL POWER NEW AND NATURAL WAYS OF VISUALIZING THE SUN AND THE INNER HELIOSPHERE FOR THE LWS PROGRAM. THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED ON COMPLETION OF THIS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE AN ENABLING CAPABILITY FOR MANY DISCIPLINES TO MAKE THEIR LARGE IMAGES AVAILABLE EASILY ON THE WEB, AND THEREFORE SATISFIES THE CROSS-DISCIPLINARY OBJECTIVE OF THE LWS PROGRAM. WE PROPOSE AN SDO IMAGE VIEWER TO OVERLAY DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF SDO DATA PRODUCTS WITH ANCILLARY DATA. THE OVERLAID IMAGE TILES WILL BE CREATED ON-THE-FLY, AS PREPROCESSING EVERY POSSIBLE COMBINATION OF SDO IMAGE DATA WOULD BE FAR TOO COSTLY IN SERVER RESOURCES. ONCE CREATED HOWEVER, THE IMAGES WILL BE STORED FOR FUTURE FAST RETRIEVAL.
