Application Technology Area Report Koji OKAMURA Kyushu Univ.
eScience WG • e-Science is broadly defined as science activities that rely on activities that rely on high bandwidth network connections network connections. • This may include the transfer of data, building operating distributed archives, distributed data processing, access to documents or training, remote operation of facility instruments, & interactive collaborations. • APAN has a natural role in e-Science through providing bandwidth & network operating tools.
APAN e-Science WG Objectives • Provide a venue for discussion of e-Science among scientists & between scientists & network administrators. • Promote e-Science initiatives among APAN Science members, & between APAN & other international groups. • Conduct of e-Science demonstration projects, training outreach. • Provide a venue for outreach & dissemination of successful & not so successful projects & what we can learn from them.
Activities and Observations of e-Science WG • e-Science Workshop at APAN Meeting • Involving Other Countries • More countries have embarked upon e-Science projects • Some are ahead, others are catching up • Presentations & sharing are useful • One training held (i.e., EGEE) • Need to go further • … to project demos • … to undertake joint projects
New e-science WG • Chair: • LEE Hing Yan (NGO, Singapore) • Co-Chairs: • Greg WICKHAM (AARNet, Australia) • Eric YEN (ASGC, Taiwan) • Putchong UTHAYOPAS (TNGC, Thailand) • James DeROEST (Pacific Northwest Gigapop, USA) • Members: • WANG Chunyan (CERNET, China) • Satoshi SEKIGUCHI (AIST, Japan) • Young-Sung LEE (MEDRIC, Korea) • Rey Vincent BABILORIA (ASTI, Philippines) • Jon LAU Khee Erng (NGO, Singapore)
Action Planes • Continue soliciting active participation APAN members in e-Science WG • Aim to organize more training sessions • Retain 3 sessions & 1 WG meeting format • Allocate 2 sessions to presentations of 20 min each (~ 8 presentations) • Allocate 1 session to project demos & discussion • Allocate 1 session to discuss WG plans • Identify, define & undertake 2 – 4 projects among APAN members • Each project • Involves at least 2 APAN members • Covers a science domain • Crosses national boundaries • Makes use of network bandwidth • Data intensive • Computational resources
Summary of Medical WG • Expanding Asia-Pacific Medical Network Hospitals with established DVTS connection • Japan: Kyushu U, Iwate MU, Nagasaki, Miyazaki • Korea: SNU, Bundang, NCC, Hanyang, Ehwa, CNU • China: Tsinghua U, Shanghai Jiaotong U • Taiwan: NTU, Taipei VGH, Taichung VGH • Hong Kong: Chinese University of Hong Kong • Thailand: Mahidol University Siriraj Hospital • Singapore: National University of Singapore • Australia: Flinders Hospital @Adelaide • Hospitals under preparation & discussion • Japan: Munakata Nursing Collage, Kyoto Red Cross, Mie • Korea: Yonsei University, Korea University • China: Peking U, Beihua U, Peking Cancer Hospital • India: Tata Memorial Hospital • Vietnam: HMU, NHP, Bach Mai H, NIHE, Cho Ray H • Philippine: Philippines University General Hospital • Indonesia: University of Indonesia • Thailand: Chulalongkorn U • Australia: Melbourne University Hospital • Venues in Malaysia, and hospitals in Europe & USA
Next two-years… • More network and more activity in AP • Extension to Europe & US • Technical issues • Security improvement • Multi-station link: More than 4 • PAL/NTSC problem • Audio-visual improvement • Image quality brush-up: HD, compression?
