I2-Class Applications • What are “I2 applications”? • You know them when you see them • Deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engaging in teaching and learning
Goals • Enhance current applications with new features • Create new applications that weren’t previously possible
What it Takes • Engaging the applications developers • Building a network that delivers the end-to-end functionality required by the applications
Actions • Initiating working groups • Reviewing applications plan • Collecting demonstrations
Working Groups • Joint Engineering/Applications • Quality of Service • Multicast • Security • IPv6
Working Groups • Application Working Groups • Arts and humanities • Collaboration environments • Development environments • Digital libraries • Distributed computation • Health care • Instructional Environments
Working Groups • Applications Working Groups, cont. • Simulations • Storage • Tele-immersion
Developer Outreach • “What is I2 and how does it make a difference?” • Motivate faculty and researchers to engage in building I2 applications • Equip people with the knowledge needed to create I2 apps • Demos, printed/online collateral, outreach, …
Infrastructure Issues • Moving from LANs to wide area • Scaling and robustness • Moving from ATM to IP reliance • Many wide area demos have required end-to-end PVCs • This doesn’t scale to internet-wide interoperability • Middleware • Technologies: QoS, multicast, security • Portability, interoperability, and re-use • Policy and technical issues
Potential Services GigaPoP One GigaPoP Two I2 Interconnect Cloud GigaPoP Four GigaPoP Three Directory Server Caching Server File Server Security Server
Deploying Apps • Need to get useful software and content into user hands • What applications to promote? • Is there an I2 role in helping deploy content (working with CNI and others)?
1998 Workshop Ideas • Quality of Service • Campus applications support • Arts and humanities applications • Security policy and practices summit • Multicast • IPv6
Success Metrics (Proposed) • # of I2 applications identified • # of I2 applications tested across vBNS • % of I2 members running I2 apps • % utilization of the vBNS • % utilization by multicast/QoS apps • % of members supporting inter-realm authentication/directory queries
Apps Breakouts • NGI Applications Report (Bill Turnbull) • Tele-immersion (Jaron Lanier) • Applications Planning (Ted Hanss) • Distance Learning (Bill Graves)
Demonstrations • Chance to show off advanced applications developed by universities • Highlight partnerships with industry and government • Themes of collaboration, access to remote resources, visualization
