28 Scope The scope of the Internet2 Health Sciences Working Group includes clinical practice, medical and related biological research, education, and medical awareness in the public.

29 History Started in January 2000 National Research Council report issued in February 2000 Networking Health: Prescriptions for the Internet National Academy Press ISBN Government Next Generation Internet (NGI) program funds university members to develop applications.

30 Organization of Health Science Initiative Today Advisory Committee Engage Physician leadership to set strategic direction Provide input to Internet2 Applications Strategy Council Leadership Team Healthcare and Life Sciences Operational/procedural responsibilities Process Model for Work Efforts Birds of a Feather (BoF) Special Interest Groups (SIG) Working Groups (WG) Collaboration Model Visible Human Project Advanced Technology Demonstrations Resource Centers for Minority Institutions – Clinical Trials Research Network Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)

31 “The government plays a vital role” – M. Castells Many opportunities in research, education, and clinical applications Federal government major source of peer-reviewed funding NIH envisions growth in IT research and research needs

32 Medical Middleware Leverage the work of Internet2 Middleware activity National Science Foundation funded National Middleware Initiative (NMI) EduPerson Directory for Medical Campus Faculty/Staff/Students Functional services to deploy medical applications Person Identification Authorization (Shibboleth) Terminology Mediation Storage Request Broker (interoperable data grids) Order Entry

38 Knowledge Management

39 “If you want a second opinion, call up my website.”

40 Challenges to Health Sciences (take home message) "The medical research revolution is happening! 90% of data collected today will never be seen by a human eye. This is everyone's problem. We must manage a growing amount of data to secure knowledge for the future." - Michael Marron, NIH

9 September 2015 Sciences and Engineering Charles Yun, Program Manager

42 Sciences and Engineering NEES: Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation HENP-WG: High Energy and Nuclear Physics Working Group eVLBI (Astronomy): Electronic Very Long Baseline Interferometry Remote-WG Cross Disciplinary Remote Instrumentation Working Group

43 NEES Earthquake research using real buildings and computer simulations Remote control of physical experiments requires extremely reliable and consistent network characteristics Video will be crucial: both for conferencing and data collection Interesting: Will start to test remote experiments in the next few months, including control and computational techniques.

44 HENP Physics has traditionally been one of the “power users” of all networks. Physicists are generating Terabytes of data (1,000,000,000,000 or 1x10 12 ) per experiment from the CERN lab in Switzerland. They are working on bulk data transfers that are extremely resistant to data loss. VRVS, a video conferencing tool, was developed by the physics community. Interesting: HENP is working on several protocols that take advantage of parallel streams and good neighbor practices (passive QOS).

45 VLBI 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. 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. Interesting: Successfully ran 788 Mbps sustained test between sites in U.S. Working on prototype experiment to test their ability to run data to Europe and Japan.

46 Remote Instrumentation Creating a working group to focus on the cross-disciplinary activities in remote instrumentation Have interest from groups such as NASA, astronomers, marine researchers Will require work from many domains – instrumentation, social/community interaction, end-to-end performance Interesting: Remote Instrumentation WG is gaining interest from national and international researchers interested in sharing equipment.
