3. Today’s Internet Doesn’t
Provide reliable end-to-end performance
Encourage cooperation on new capabilities
Allow testing of new technologies
Support development of revolutionary applications
Today’s Internet has serious shortcomings. Some of them are performance or technically related, which limit the kinds of applications and capabilities the Internet can support. Other limitations affect the ability to innovate new capabilities that would address some of the performance and technical limitations.

Enigma Machine and Bombe
Armed forces have always been dependent on communications. During World War II, the German Army and Navy tried to keep their communications secret by using encryption devices called Enigma machines. These sophisticated coding devices could generate over 1 trillion different coding patterns. The Germans believed they were too sophisticated for Allied forces to break them. But in one of the best-kept secrets of the war, first the Poles, and later the British and Americans succeeded in deciphering messages. The wooden device in the foreground is a 4 rotor German Enigma machine, used for encoding. The large machine in the background is a "Bombe," used for breaking the code. Working out the details of codebreaking machines was one of the developments that fostered electronic computers.

22. Human Embryo Development
George Mason University, Oregon Health & Science University, National Library of Medicine
3-D visualizations of human embryo development
Doctors can manipulate data remotely
Animations of embryo system development for students
This large, NLM-funded project focuses on providing a way for medical professionals to communicate detailed information about human embryo development in a visual form. This project comprises a network of medical collaboration workstations, using high-performance, off-the-shelf networked computer systems combined with advanced software for collaboration, and medical visualization. The workstations are installed at eight project locations and interconnected over high-performance networks operating at data rates over 100 megabits per second nationwide. As a result, doctors will be able to visualize and manipulate high-resolution image data collaboratively for diagnoses, clinical case management, and medical education.
George Mason University is providing overall responsibility for the project as well as collaboration technology. Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) has a leading role in the Annotation and Modeling application and is responsible for aspects of embryology dealing with the heart and lungs. For example, using image sets from the Visible Embryo Project to create 3-D computer models, the OHSU Heart Research Center is helping to improve understanding of the complex processes of normal and abnormal heart development. Their Embryology Education Application makes visualization tools available for medical student use and creates animations of embryo organ system development. Internet2 networks allow sharing of the images in real-time with researchers in California and Washington, D.C.

23. Virtual Pelvic Floor
University of Illinois at Chicago
Provides 3-D visualization of complex anatomical structures
Participants use ImmersaDesk™ systems to interact with 3-D anatomical model
Successful surgical intervention depends on the surgeon's ability to conceptually visualize complex anatomical structures (such as the pelvic floor) three-dimensionally. Tele-immersive applications, combining teleconferencing, telepresence, and virtual reality, combined with the advanced network capabilities of Internet2 networks, allow both teacher and students to enjoy improved visualization of 3-D structures.
Tele-immersion participants interact using two or more by networked ImmersaDeskTM systems and using special eyeglasses with sensors that track each viewer’s movements and cause the system to automatically orient the model in relation to the viewer. The teacher and students—even in geographically remote locations—are able to share and interact with a 3-D anatomical model, converse, see each other, and point in three dimensions using an electronic wand.

24. Distributed Medical Informatics Education
Oregon Health & Science University and the University of Pittsburgh
Covers a broad range of fields including electronic medical records and information retrieval
Distance learning provides students with access to faculty, expertise, and other students
Medical informatics is a broad field spanning electronic medical records, telemedicine, information retrieval, image processing and analysis, bioinformatics, and evaluation methodologies. Using Internet2 high-speed networking and distance learning modalities, students in the informatics programs within Oregon Health & Science University and the University of Pittsburgh have access to a broader range of faculty, areas of subject expertise, and other students with whom to collaborate.

Stanford School of Medicine
Allows students to learn anatomy and practice surgery techniques using 3-D workstations
Network testbed evaluates the effectiveness of workbench applications
SUMMIT’s Next Generation Internet (NGI) testbed network within the Stanford School of Medicine evaluates the effectiveness of the Anatomy and Surgery Workbench applications. The testbed network links selected classrooms, labs, clinical departments, and the medical library using a high-speed gigabit Ethernet backbone. The new 3-D Learning Space and connected classrooms allow students to learn anatomy and basic surgical skills through the use of 3-D workstations, haptic (touch sensitive) devices, stereoscopic displays, distributed rich media databases, and application program servers. Both applications support synchronous collaboration through a shared virtual workspace and will use haptic feedback to augment the visual sense. This technology permits the definition of new curricular elements including the repeated dissection of anatomical structures, visual segmentation of raw data sets, creation of 3-D organ models, and the practice of fundamental surgical maneuvers. The capabilities of Internet2 high-performance networks and use of a distributed client-server system allow teachers and users to share online, image-rich data, and professional experiences.
