  4. NGI - Concept and Vision What is NGI? NGI Capability Study report NGI Consortium establishment NGI Applications groups Relationship between NGI and ‘Broadband’

  5. What is NGI? • Briefly… • October 1996 – Internet2 • To enable revolutionary Internet applications • To create a leading edge network capability for the national research community • To ensure the rapid transfer of new network services and applications to the broader Internet community. • High speed, new protocols and middleware

  6. NGI Characteristics Very high speed Very high reliability Always on Innovative applications QoS Low latency Multicast capabilities Directories, authentication and security Peer relationships

  7. coexistence with analog broadcast networks circuit-switched telephone networks proprietary data networks data, voice, and broadcast networks converge into an interconnected network of digital, packet-switched IP networks. Old Internet Next Generation Internet limited bandwidth ‘over-supply’ of bandwidth intermittent availability permanent and pervasive access

  8. … and we are not part of it!

  9. Capability Study • Background • Support by Industry NZ, Cisco, • University of Otago and InternetNZ • Three months research • Report released in October • Key recommendations • Proceed to establish a network • Set up a consortium of interested parties • Set up applications development groups

  10. We are looking for changes A new communications model is sought ‘The Paradox of the Best Network’, David Isenberg and David Weinberger New charging/funding models for a new communications regime Business to business fibre and wavelength services

  11. Establishment of Consortium Initial members: University of Otago Lincoln University University of Canterbury AgResearch CityLink Victoria University of Wellington Massey University University of Waikato Auckland University of Technology University of Auckland

  12. NGI Consortium • Not an exclusive club • Interim organisation • First tasks • Appoint a Project Director • Develop a full business case • Network commissioned by September 2003

  13. NGI Applications Groups Creative – Simon Riley Biotechnology – Phillip Lindsay, J Kistler Education & E-Learning – Geoff Mitchell ICT – Mark Billinghurst NGI technologies – Nevil Brownlee, Ian Graham Tele-health AgriTech

  14. Relationship between NGI & ‘Broadband’ • The applications link • Potential end-game • parallel with the development of the Internet • what is happening in the US and Canada?

  15. NGI - A New Paradigm Then and Now Technology Drivers Grid Computing Middleware

  18. Technology Drivers • Computers • Moore’s law • Performance per $ doubles every 18 months • Fibre Optics • Dense Wave Division Multiplexing • Bandwidth per $ doubles every 12 months! • Convergence of computers and communication

  19. A Paradigm Shift The Internet The NGI Connectivity Interoperation Collaboration Communication Shared Resources Shared Information Personal Productivity Virtual Organisations

  21. VO Requirements • Universal participation • Interoperability of applications • Spontaneous • Lightweight protocols • Shared resources • Discovery of resources, quality and quantity • Authentication of all entities • Authorisation of resource use • Multi-institutional • Respect for local policies

  22. Grid Computing - the now NGI • Coordinates resources that are not subject to centralised control… • … using standard, open, general-purpose protocols and interfaces… • … to deliver nontrivial qualities of service • Ian Foster, July 2002

  23. Access Grid • Group interactions • Up to 20 per site • Large format multimedia display • Integrated presentation facilities • Interactive interfaces • Integration of local desktop • Multicast video

  24. Access Grid Monday, November 4 8:00 am to 2:00 pm CT 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET Janet Brown, brown@psc.edu Venue: Jack Frost Room Meeting including NCAR and NCSA viaAccessGrid Monday, November 4 3pm-5pm CT Robert Jacob, jacob@mcs.anl.gov Venue: Full Sail Room SciDAC Climate Team meeting URL: www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/fl/accessgrid/climate.htm Monthly AG meeting for SciDAC climateconsortium. This month features a presentationfrom the Earth System Grid project

  25. Access Grid

  26. Access Grid

  27. “Performance”Grid One Stage The Performers Control

  28. NEESgrid Through the NEESgrid, researchers will: Perform tele-observation and tele-operation of experiments; Publish to and make use of a curated data repository using standardized markup; Access computational resources and open-source analytical tools; Access collaborative tools for experiment planning, execution, analysis, and publication.

  29. International Virtual Data Grid • Sloan Digital Sky Survey • Resources in US, Europe, Asia and South America • Share astronomical resources • Develop peta-byte scale applications • CERN Compact Muon Solenoid • Largest magnet ever built • Petabyte databases • MacDiarmid Centre

  30. Biomedical Informatics Research • Leverage revolutions in • Biology • Computing • Technology • Large scale medical science • Collaboration amongst neuroscientists and medical scientists Composite of 20 normal brains

  31. HAPTICS- Simulates Touch

  32. HAPTICS- Simulates Touch • MIT and London team report first transatlantic touch - Oct 2002 • The first time that two phantoms have been used to "touch" a human rather than a virtual object • PHANToM a pencil like device which sends small impulses at very high frequencies - up to 1000Hz - down the internet. • Pushing on the pen sends data representing forces through the internet that can be interpreted by a PHANTOM and therefore felt on the other end. You can not only feel the resulting force, but you can also get a sense of the quality of the object you're feeling - whether it's soft or hard, wood like or fleshy.'

  33. Middleware Applications NSF middleware initiative definition Middleware refers to an evolving layer of services that resides between the network and more traditional applications for managing security, access and information exchange. Middleware Services Local Op Sys Local Op Sys Local Op Sys

  34. Middleware Services Naming and identification Location Communication Authentication Authorisation Resource Management Transparency Dependability

  35. Digital Teleportation Enable speakers to be teleported into the venue from anywhere in the world A major UK bank used teleportation of banking experts from a central location to bank branches. Texas Governor Rick Perry materialized before a group of Richardson businessmen www.teleportec.com

  36. Digital Teleportation

  37. NGI Applications Overview Demand Drivers Examples Creative Sector and the Arts Health Education E- Business E Science - Grid Computing Film TV Post Production

  38. NGI Applications Overview Distributed computation Virtual laboratories Digital video and audio libraries. Distributed learning Digital video Tele-immersion All of the above in combination

  42. What are other countries doing to support NGI Applications and Networking? USA - NGI budget approx US$100 million / yr Canada - Federal Government support approx $ 500 million since 1995 Australia - current Federal Government support being A$37 million, plus A$93 million leveraged from industry, for advanced network projects NZ – ICT only accounts for approx $10 million, or less than 3%, in total research funding.

  43. Impact of Change The history of communication technology tells us that the fastest growing applications are not travel substitutions but rather new interactions.

  44. Impact of Change Current Internet Passive, unintelligent Communication Next Generation Internet Active, intelligent Collaboration

  45. Introduction of the Telephone Promoted as a device for: • Home shopping – order goods over the phone • Tele-medicine – consult with a doctor • Tele-church – hear church services over the phone • Listening to concerts Sound familiar? • The concept that there would be a market to use the telephone just for talking or chatting was inconceivable

  46. Internet2 Speed Record Canadian Researchers Break Records for Data Transfer . Peak transfer rates in excess of 1 Gigabit/second were achieved to transfer a Terabyte of research data (equivalent to the amount of data on approximately 1500 CDs) from disk-to-disk at rates equivalent to a full CD in less than 8 seconds (or a full length DVD movie in less than 1 minute).
