Huge Data Transfer Plenary APAN Taipei 2005 Chair: Hervé Guy Friday ; 9:00-10:30; Room A & B

Huge Data Transfer Plenary APAN Taipei 2005 >Objectives: – Around the world there are many large remote sensor and instrumentation projects whose data output will need to be delivered to computing facilities many thousands of kilometers away. Examples of such facilities include the European eVLBI project - JIVE, and of course, the granddaddy of them all the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In some cases the expected data flow demands of these projects, in terms of throughput and duration will easily exceed by order of magnitude, that of conventional Internet traffic flows. This plenary session will try to figure out How Scientifics and Network Architects are taking up the “Huge Data Transfer” challenge that will meet these requirements.
