TRANSCRIPT
GLOCIS•A web-accessible database of
cyberinfrastructure resources
•network circuits
•measurement infrastructure
•major scientific facilities/instrumentation
•computing facilities, etc.
•A GIS mapping system to assist in visualization of state of global resources
GLOCIS Access
•Project/Resource Editing System• http://www.gloriad.org/cgi-bin/gloci/updates/editresource
• (need username of irnc and password of 5tops)
•GIS/Mapping System• http://www.gloriad.org/cgi-bin/gloci/maps/gen.mapit.cgi
Project/Resource Editing System
•All editing via web-based forms
•Applications exist for adding/editing:• Projects (ex: TransLight, GLORIAD, AMP, LHC, GEANT, NLR,
Abilene, etc.)
• Resources (ex: network circuits, measurement boxes, science facilities, instrumentation, computational facilities, etc.)
• Supplemental files for user authentication, carriers, locations/facilities, mapping regions, resource owners, etc.
•All information is “date-stamped” enabling reporting/mapping for different time periods
New Project Add
Password required
for editing:
irnc/5topsSelect Color for default mapping (for example, for network circuits)
GLOCIS Mapping SystemChoose Projects from
which to map resources (circuits, etc.)Date resources are operational
Center of MapSize of Map (8 - 30 inches)
Map Projection - select one
GLOCIS Mapping System
Choose region of Map - example: entire world, US, North America, Europe, US-Asia, Russia, etc. It is very simple to set up new regions in regions database (for ex: Korea, California, US East Coast, Netherlands, etc.)Select to draw national and state boundaries. Select to draw riversDetail shown on mapsSelect to draw lat/long lines on map

Technology Used
•All Public Domain Tools
•Running on Apple XServer G5, running Mac OSX 10.3
•Mapping Tools from NSF-Supported Generic Mapping Tools (GMT)
•Other tools: MySQL, Perl, DBI/mysql, ImageMagick, other F&P-developed software
Summary•Prototype system available for testing,
further development
•It is a rough prototype - potentially useful for motivating discussion on a shared, globally accessible, useful inventory and GIS tool for tracking and planning cyberinfrastructure deployment
•Effort planned during summer 2005 to migrate to Java/Flash-based application
Summary•Need to add map legend and
circuit/arc labels
•Working on incorporating “living earth” data so that images are better “colored” (with real satellite imagery data)
•Need better method of adjusting arc “angles” (currently, can add intermediate plot points to change arc paths)
Summary•Need to get other people, projects,
organizations involved in testing, supplying data (for example, all GLORIAD domestic R&E networks, NLR, GEANT, etc.), improving data model
•Need to adequately represent broader cyberinfrastructure components (not just networks) – currently working, for example, to add all AMP measurement boxes deployed across the globe
