Internet2 Mission • Develop and deploy advanced network applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet. • Enable new generation of applications • Re-create leading edge R&E network capability • Transfer technology and experience to the global production Internet
Why Internet2? • The Internet was not designed for: • Millions of users • Congestion • Multimedia • Real time interaction • But, only the Internet can: • Accommodate explosive growth • Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration
Challenges for Today’s Internet • Provide reliable end-to-end performance • Encourage cooperation on new capabilities • Allow testing of new technologies • Support development of revolutionary applications
Why University Leadership? • The Internet came from the academic community • Stanford -- the Internet protocols • NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet • CERN -- the WWW protocols • University of Illinois -- the Web browser • Universities’ research and education mission require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it
Leadership • University presidents/chancellors are the voting representatives • Strong Board of Directors • Advisory councils with board seats • Applications Strategy Council • Network Planning and Policy • Network Research Liaison • Industry Liaison Council

Advanced Application Attributes • Interactive collaboration and instruction • Real-time access to remote resources • Large-scale, multi-site computation • Distributed data storage and • data mining • Shared virtual reality • Dynamic data visualization • Any combination of the above
Internet2 Commons • Encourage and support large-scale, distributed collaboration for research and education • Enabling one-to-one, one-to-group, and group-to-group collaboration • Supporting personal communications, meetings, conferences, and communities • For Internet2 members and their international counterparts
Virtual Monthly Briefings • Studio environment: • Lights • Cameras • Wires (everywhere) • Showcased the functionality and flexibility of the concept
Access Grid • Entire rooms of interaction instead of a talking head
The Scope of the Internet2 Health Science Workgroup includes clinical practice, medical and related biological research, education, and medical awareness in the Public.
Roadmap • Networking Health:Prescriptions for the Internet • National Research Council Report • Current and future Internet • Released 24 February 2000 • National Academy Press • ISBN 0-309-06843-6
Health Science Activities • Medical Middleware Working Group • Security Working Group • HIPAA Guidelines • Veterinary Medical Working Group • Visible Human Project Collaboratory • Orthopedic Surgery Working Group (in formation today!) • Bioethics BOF • Pharmaceutical Information Management BOF • Telesurgery SIG • Biomedical Research Network and Testbeds (BioGRID) • Multi Center Clinical Trails SIG • Knowledge Management Systems
Support of Community through Knowledge Sharing • Internet2 acts as a clearinghouse to help distribute information • Technical meetings • Virtual presentations • Development of demonstrations and tools • Cooperate on standards to maintain global interoperability • Technical Support • Software tools (monitoring, diagnostic) • Loaner hardware (Vbrick, Cakebox, Access Grid) • Access to expertise (working groups)

Distributed Medical Informatics Education Oregon Health & Science University and the University of Pittsburgh • Covers a broad range of fields including electronic medical records and information retrieval • Distance learning provides students with access to faculty, expertise, and other students http://www.ohsu.edu/bicc-informatics/ http://www.cbmi.upmc.edu/
Remote Instrumentation • Phillips XL30 Scanning Electron Microscope • Remote operation and Resource sharing • Now accessible to a larger audience • New teaching and learning techniques are possible
Anatomy and Surgery Workbench Stanford University School of Medicine • Allows students to learn anatomy and practice surgery techniques using 3-D workstations • Network testbed evaluates the effectiveness of workbench applications http://haiti.stanford.edu/~ngi/final/
