3. Definition of e-Science • e-Science is about providing significantly enhanced research infrastructure by utilizing distributed resources such as, computers, storage devices, scientific instruments, and experts using information technology “e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it.” (John Taylor, Director General of Research Councils, OST/DTI, UK)

4. Evolution of IT industry • Starting from hardware, forms a vertical structure • New paradigm started by internet boom • Evolves to a horizontal structure

5. Evolution of Scientific Research • Scientific research methodology also forms a vertical structure • IT industry changes ways of doing research and development, but not its structure

6. Evolution through e-Science • e-Science is essential for the transition to a horizontal research infrastructure

7. Goals of e-Science • Advance research infrastructure and national competitiveness by effectively using distributed resources based on information technology • Making the best use of Korea’s IT infrastructure • Providing advanced collaborative environments to researchers distributed over the country • Helping the decentralization of the country

8. e-Science in US (1/6) • The United States is carrying out several e-Science projects in order to maintain her competitiveness in the area of science and technology

12. e-Science in Japan (5/6) • AIST is the key organization, project is reviewed by CSTP and IT committee • National collaborative network

13. e-Science in Japan (6/6) • Virtual research laboratory of ITBL • Budget : 160 million dollars (ITBL, 2001~2005) • Participating Organizations : JAERI, JST, NIMS, NAL, RIKEN, NIED, NII

14. Domestic Situation • Construction of Grid infrastructure is being constructed through “N*Grid Project” of Ministry of Information and Communication • Limited to the construction of next generation internet • Support for application projects are limited, only small scale projects are supported • National scale application projects are not possible • Sharing and remote use of expensive equipments in government labs and academic institutions are very limited

15. Project Strategy (1/5) • Construct national scale organization including ministries (MOST, MIC, and MOCIE), academia, and government labs • MIC: Advanced network, Grid infrastructure • MOST: e-Science research based on the infrastructure • MOCIE: Application of the research results to industries such as e-Business • Academia, government labs: Carrying out e-Science researches • National and regional e-Science center • National e-Science forum
