Teaching X-Informatics This semester, teaching “Opennet Technologies” – XML and Java for defining and manipulating data Next semester will offer X-Informatics locally and probably at a distance (current course to 27 students in Jackson & Vicksburg Miss.) X-Informatics is an overview of information-based applications and their associated technologies –Internet Infrastructure, Data-mining, Search, XML, Semantic Web, (Peer-to-Peer) Collaboration, Security, Portals, Information Visualization, Grids.. –Bio/Geo Informatics, New Media, Experimental physics, Distance education, Health including Telemedicine

Community Grids Research 27 Students, 4 Postdocs (~50% new) PDA Interface and other new approaches to Collaborative Environments Online Knowledge Center – Interactive XML based resource for web pages, reports etc. (modern library built with.opennet technologies) Computing and Information Environment to support Earthquake Science –Real time discussion of quake data Science Research and/or Education as a Web Service –Interoperable modules Indian Nation Community Grid – cultural customization and collaboratory to allow preservation of tribal lands Information System for new Physics Experiment

Some Issues/Futures Other expertise: –Parallel and high performance algorithms –Multi-media infrastructure –Neural Networks –Complex Systems Expect to start other IU collaborations –Gannon(CS), Dzierba(Physics) Issues –Security –Conflict of Interest
