Outline • National Center Point View and oportunity • Regional (continental) e-research initiatives • Multilateral-Academic Iniatives • Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA) • E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America (EELA) • Global Academic Supercomputing Consortium (GASC) • Vendors Initiatives • GridLAC (SUN) • LAGrid (IBM) • HPGrid • Regional (Binational) Initiatives • S&T ColomboVenezuela Corridor (Santander Merida) • National Initiatives: GridVenezuela • CeCalCULA Applications
New Paradigms, New Realities, New eraA Informational Revolution. • New forms of Capitalisms production • Change in process are deeper than only ICT. They are social • From the industrial economy to the informational economy • From material products to services • Knowledge is raw material but also an end product • Informational Economy • Global and Real time process • There are no national economies. There are national strategies • Interdependent networked economy • Highly qualified, creative and skilful Human resources • New e-research • Theory - Experiments - Simulation • Multidisciplinary & Remote Colaborative • Remote sensing Data mining.

Center point of view: Compel users • Support National-Regional Groups • Understand their levels of ICT/HPC needs • Some users know what they need • Provide ICT/HPC tools (applications) • Some (most of them) do not • Start with ICT & Cooperative collaboration tools • Drug dealer strategy • Force them to use more tools • Develop HPC WEB-Base HPC Applications
Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA)http://www.pragma-grid.net/ • LA • Centro de Invertigacion Cientifica y de Educacion Superior de Ensenada (CICESE):Compute-intensive,meteorological forecasting model, MM5, using a highbandwidth,optical-fiber link between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. • Universidad de Chile (Center for Mathematical Modeling):Resources to the PRAGMA testbed • Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico UNAM: Resources to the PRAGMA testbed • USA + Asia
