12. Abilene Network

13. Abilene NetworkCore Map, February 2003

14. Abilene Network Infrastructure • Backbones operate at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) to 10 Gbps (OC192) capacity today • GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points • Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop

15. Applications

16. Internet2 Applications • What are “Internet2 applications”? • They deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning • They require advanced networks to work

17. Sciences Arts Humanities Health care Business/Law Administration … Library Classroom Clinic Office Laboratory Dorm room … Different Disciplines/Contexts

18. For example … Remote Collaboration Virtual Room Videoconferencing System (VRVS) & the Access Grid Support multipoint video- conferencing, where distributed reflectors spread computationally expensive responsibility

19. For example … Science & Engineering • High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP) • Generating multi-petabyte datasets, gigabytes per second per experiment, requires a cascading data storage model, near-zero packet loss per data stream, and a distributed database for end-user data manipulation. • Each experiment requires input from hundreds of researchers around the world. • Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEESGrid) • Running hybrid experiments, synchronizing physical and computational experiments. • Synchronizing large volumes of data of different types: sensor, video, etc.

20. For example … Health Sciences • 3D Brain Map • Visualization of data: real-time MRI, previously stored data, etc. • Computational information transferred to supercomputers and used to understand brain functions in real time • Very large multi-dimensional, multi-modal, time-varying data sets • Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) • Extremely large data sets and repositories • Dynamically generate 3D visualizations from medical records • Generating 36Gbytes/day, so new models for search, retrieval and analysis will be necessary

36. Advisory and Working Groups

37. Performance Archive and Retrieval • A working group jointly sponsored by • Coalition for Networked Information • Internet2 • Designed to propose standards and best practices for documenting, archiving, and retrieving the recordings of performances such as live theatre, musical compositions, and dance

38. Performance Archive and Retrieval Working Group • Produced two white papers: • Capturing Live Performance Events (http://arts.internet2.edu/files/performance-capture(v09).pdf) • Digital Asset Management (http://arts.internet2.edu/files/digital-asset-management(v09).pdf) • (compiled, edited and authorship contributions by University of Michigan intern, Leilani Dawson)

39. Performance Archive and Retrieval Working Group • Capturing Live Performance Events: • Current practices in the field of digitally-recorded performance • Three budget categories: consumer, prosumer, professional • Scenarios: fixed site, fieldwork/mobile setup, multi-site • Lighting, video, audio

40. Performance Archive and Retrieval Working Group • Digital Asset Management: • Intellectual property • Metadata standards, schemas, frameworks, and formats • Search and retrieval • Digital collection software/systems • Putting it all together

41. Internet2 Performance Arts Advisory Committee Assist in the planning of innovative events that highlight the gifts of performers and artists from our member institutions and the capabilities of Internet2 technology-enabled performances • Best practices guide to multi-site performance events

42. Humanities Advisory Group • Plans advanced networking activities in the Humanities arena • Interest and activities are underway in the areas of museum education, language learning technologies, forensic debates, and film history • Discussions will focus on current activities and brainstorming future ones that might be enhanced by advanced networking applications

43. New Arts & Humanities Communities

44. New Communities • Museum Community • Presented at Museums and the Web, March 2003 • Cleveland Museum of Art • Foreign Language Instruction: • Presented at the 2003 International Association for Language Learning Technology conference (IALLT) • Archaeology Forum
