Abstract
The long-term vision of the Fusion Collaboratory described in this paper is to transform fusion research and accelerate scientific understanding and innovation so as to revolutionize the design of a fusion energy source. The Collaboratory will create and deploy collaborative software tools that will enable more efficient utilization of existing experimental facilities and more effective integration of experiment, theory, and modeling. The computer science research necessary to create the Collaboratory is centered on three activities: security, remote and distributed computing, and scientific visualization. It is anticipated that the presently envisioned Fusion Collaboratory software tools will require 3 years to complete.

Funding
For 2001, the PSACI has been folded into the larger SciDAC initiative, Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing Initiative, created by the USDOE Office of Science [2] . Leveraging the lessons learned from the two PSACI pilot projects, a proposal was submitted to and funded by the SciDAC initiative for the design and implementation of a Fusion Collaboratory [3] . The funded initiative is a 3-year collaboration between experts in the magnetic fusion and the computer science and enabling technology communities to create a Collaboratory. This paper describes the design of the Collaboratory. Work supported by US Department of Energy under Contracts DE-AC03-99ER54463, DE-AC02-76CH03073 and W-31-109-ENG-38.
