Uses: highlights
The new science: e-science:• Science used to about test tubes, wet labs and big
instruments
• But increasingly science is moving to networks and computers
• Science is more global and distributed
Remote Instrumentation and Data Analysis
Mauna Kea, Hawai’i, USA Cerro Pachon, Chile
Large scientific projects increasingly draw on resources from many countries.
Scientists can use high-performance networks for remote instrument control and to pool computing resources for data analysis, improving ease of use and lowering costs.
An international collaboration (US, Australia, U.K., Canada, Chile, Argentina, Brazil)
NSF funds US participation
The Gemini Observatory – Twin Telescopes
Digital Video – Distance Ed
Tele-presence environments
•Real-time interactions with very high quality audio and MPEG-2 video
• as needed “meetings” connecting faculty and staff across the ocean
Plain and Simple:Language/cultural Exchanges
• CCIU World Tour/Univ. of Pennsylvania
•Learning foreign languages through cultural exchanges and problem based experiential learning
Summary
Leading-edge, high-performance network infrastructure is being put in place to support science, research, teaching and learning in countries around the world
As a global community, we need to work even more closely together to ensure support for global applications on an end to end basis
