Abilene Network
Abilene NetworkCore Map, February 2003
Abilene Network Infrastructure
Backbones operate at 2.4 Gbps (OC48) to 10 Gbps (OC192) capacity today
GigaPoPs provide regional high-performance aggregation points
Local campus networks provide 100 Mbps to the desktop
Applications
Internet2 Applications
What are “Internet2 applications”?
They deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning
They require advanced networks to work
Different Disciplines/Contexts
Sciences
Arts
Humanities
Health care
Business/Law
Administration
…
Library
Classroom
Clinic
Office
Laboratory
Dorm room
…
For example … Remote Collaboration
Virtual Room Videoconferencing System (VRVS) & the
Access GridSupport multipoint video-conferencing, where distributed reflectors spread computationally expensive responsibility
For example … Science & Engineering
High Energy and Nuclear Physics (HENP)
Generating multi-petabyte datasets, gigabytes per second per experiment, requires a cascading data storage model, near-zero packet loss per data stream, and a distributed database for end-user data manipulation.
Each experiment requires input from hundreds of researchers around the world.
Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEESGrid)
Running hybrid experiments, synchronizing physical and computational experiments.
Synchronizing large volumes of data of different types: sensor, video, etc.
For example … Health Sciences
3D Brain Map•Visualization of data: real-time MRI, previously stored data, etc.
•Computational information transferred to supercomputers and used to understand brain functions in real time
•Very large multi-dimensional, multi-modal, time-varying data sets
Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)
•Extremely large data sets and repositories•Dynamically generate 3D visualizations from medical records
•Generating 36Gbytes/day, so new models for search, retrieval and analysis will be necessary

Advisory and Working Groups
Performance Archive and Retrieval
A working group jointly sponsored by
• Coalition for Networked Information
• Internet2 Designed to propose standards and best practices for documenting, archiving, and retrieving the recordings of performances such as live theatre, musical compositions, and dance
Performance Archive and Retrieval Working Group
Produced two white papers:
•Capturing Live Performance Events (http://arts.internet2.edu/files/performance-capture(v09).pdf)
•Digital Asset Management (http://arts.internet2.edu/files/digital-asset-management(v09).pdf)
• (compiled, edited and authorship contributions by University of Michigan intern, Leilani Dawson)
Performance Archive and Retrieval Working Group
Capturing Live Performance Events:
•Current practices in the field of digitally-recorded performance
•Three budget categories: consumer, prosumer, professional
•Scenarios: fixed site, fieldwork/mobile setup, multi-site
•Lighting, video, audio
Performance Archive and Retrieval Working Group
Digital Asset Management:
•Intellectual property
•Metadata standards, schemas, frameworks, and formats
•Search and retrieval
•Digital collection software/systems
•Putting it all together
Internet2 Performance Arts Advisory Committee
Assist in the planning of innovative events that highlight the gifts of performers and artists from our member institutions and the capabilities of Internet2 technology-enabled performances
•Best practices guide to multi-site performance events
Humanities Advisory Group
Plans advanced networking activities in the Humanities arena Interest and activities are underway in the areas of museum education, language learning technologies, forensic debates, and film history Discussions will focus on current activities and brainstorming future ones that might be enhanced by advanced networking applications
