In order to demonstrate the benefits of collaboratories and to test the collaboratory tools, two pilot projects have been started:
The Diesel Combustion Collaboratory
Science Area: Diesel engine emissions control
Partners: SNL, LBNL, LLNL, Univ. of Wisc.
Industrial Partners: Cummins Engine Co., Caterpillar Inc., Detroit Diesel
The Materials MicroCharacterization
Collaboratory
Science Area: Microstructure of technologically advanced materials, with focus on interface characterization for wide user community
Partners:ORNL, LBNL, ANL, NIST, Univ. of Illinois
Industrial Partners: Gatan, Inc.; R. J. Lee; EMiSPEC Systems, Inc., Philips Electronic Instruments; Hitachi Scientific Instruments; Japan Electron Optics Laboratories - USA
