International importance Our members are increasingly dependent on access globally to resources: collaborators, data, scientific instruments. Access to scientific instruments with specific geo-location needs: optical telescopes: e.g., Cerro Pachon, Chile; operated by US and other countries Radio telescopes: establishing distributed “antennae” network (e.g., US, Asia, Europe, South America) for very-long baseline interferometry (beyond experiments pushing the network, obtaining finer-grain pictures of the cosmos) Access to/collecting geo-specific data and getting it back for analysis, visualization, sharing, prevention Malaria data in sub-Saharan Africa Heard of SARS? (WHO, NIH, universities) Environmental data from the Amazon or Antartica 11/23/2018

Access to people for teaching/learning Singular instruments: not possible for each country to “afford” for their own country: 30-story scanning electron microscope in Japan Large-Hedron collider at CERN in Geneva: great example of an international-funded facility where collaborators around the world (1000s) are working to conduct experiments together using these facilities Access to people for teaching/learning Multi-disciplinary real problems telemedicine, second opinion network opportunities, border issues, environmental research, etc. El Nino Sismology, volcanology Disaster preparedness programs Bio-technology / genomics apps.internet2.edu for more information and details 11/23/2018

Astronomy and Physics well-known drivers for Internet2 - Examples: Radio astronomy: Astronomers collect data about a star from many different earth based antennae and send the data to a specialized computer for analysis on a 24x7 basis. E-VLBI (electronic very large baseline interferomety)VLBI is not as concerned with data loss as they are with long term stability. The end goal is to send data at 1Gb/s from over 20 antennae that are located around the globe. High energy physics: CERN (Switzerland); High Energy and Nuclear Physics groups Terabytes of data (1,000,000,000,000 or 1x1012) sensitivity of data and transfer challenges Optical , astrophysics….. List goes on… 11/23/2018

[Cyber] infrastructure The term infrastructure has been used since the 1920’s to refer collectively to the roads, bridges, rail lines, and similar public works that are required for an industrial economy to function The recent term cyberinfrastructure refers to an infrastructure based upon computer, information and communication technology (increasingly) required for discovery, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge Traditional infrastructure is required for an industrial economy Cyberinfrastructure is required for an information economy The PROMISE of cyber infrastructure: Ubiquitous, digital knowledge environments that are both interactive and functionally complete………… (Atkins report) revolutionize the processes of discovery, learning and innovation across the science and engineering frontier. Quotes directly from the Atkins Report. 11/23/2018

Changes in global “networking” The US has played a key role in having very rich connectivity to the ‘world’ many initiatives outside the US are engaging and establishing leadership roles in connecting to the world North America and the rest of the continent – some closing of the gap… some expanding…not unlike what is happening around the world: the getting to hard-to-reach places of the world More than ever, we need to solidify our international ties and work and learn from our partners around the world 11/23/2018

Internet2 – CUDI partnership via Memorandum of Understanding In place since May 1999 Abilene – CUDI Peering 400 Mbps of connectivity (via California and Texas) Strong and increasing Internet2 – CUDI collaborations 11/23/2018

Multi-disciplinary involvement : new opportunities for solving real problems TRIMS project: Transboundary Information Management System (United States – Mexico border Center for Environmental Resource Management - http://www.cerm.utep.ed Integrative information management (GIS) system (current, reliable and consistent information on the border) Assistance towards local, regional and binational organizations - ‘the grid-enabled border” via multi-point videoconferences via Internet2 network and CUDI – Mexican network: Symposiums (x) to define issues and facilitate dialogue between universities throughout border and with agencies (e.g., HUD, EPA, Dept. Health and counterparts in Mexico) http://www.trims.org GIS-based resources: trying to allow for increased sharing of data and information.  Great progress is being made among the border through the efforts of universities, states and local agencies.  Goal is to integrate these efforts, providing more comprehensive and collaborative approaches necessary to address quality of life and regional sustainability.  TRIMS is about leveraging these investments information technologies to support on-going research and assist local, regional and binational organizations committed to addressing the many regional challenges.  Beginning in June 2003, we will be hosting a series of workshops to gain the input from both developers and users of information about the border in order to define the current and future requirements of a Transboundary Information Management System.  The workshops will be conducted using H.323 video conferencing technologies available at Internet2 universities and the Corporación Universitaria para el Desarrollo de Internet (CUDI).  For more information, please email info@trims.org The purpose of the TRIMS Symposium Series is to develop a formal plan for implementing an comprehensive borderwide information system that can be used by organizations and institutions working on initiatives within the region 11/23/2018
