Applications

Internet2 ApplicationsWhat are Internet2 applications?They deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learningThey require advanced networks to work

Different Disciplines/ContextsSciencesArtsHumanitiesHealth careBusiness/LawAdministrationLibraryClassroomClinicOfficeLaboratoryDorm room

For example Remote CollaborationVirtual Room Videoconferencing System (VRVS) & theAccess GridSupport multipoint video-conferencing, where distributed reflectors spread computationally expensive responsibility

For example Science & EngineeringHigh 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 Sciences3D Brain MapVisualization of data: real-time MRI, previously stored data, etc.Computational information transferred to supercomputers and used to understand brain functions in real timeVery large multi-dimensional, multi-modal, time-varying data sets

Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)Extremely large data sets and repositoriesDynamically generate 3D visualizations from medical recordsGenerating 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 GroupProduced 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 GroupCapturing Live Performance Events: Current practices in the field of digitally-recorded performanceThree budget categories: consumer, prosumer, professionalScenarios: fixed site, fieldwork/mobile setup, multi-siteLighting, video, audio

Performance Archive and Retrieval Working GroupDigital Asset Management: Intellectual propertyMetadata standards, schemas, frameworks, and formatsSearch and retrievalDigital collection software/systemsPutting it all together

Internet2 Performance Arts Advisory CommitteeAssist 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 performancesBest 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

Explain different categories, give examples

Note that collaboration site status is actually a membership term

Note that primary and secondary participation status can potentially apply to other Internet2 backbone networksThis is the latest map of Internet2 universities. Each Internet2 university commits to providing the high performance networking on their own campus, connecting to a high-performance backbone network, and supporting advanced applications development on their own campus.There are also over a total of 70 corporate members (including corporate partners) in Internet2, and over 30 affiliate members.This is the latest list of Internet2 Corporate Partners. Corporate partners have committed to providing over US$1million in support of collaborations with Internet2 universities.These are the organizations in other countries with which Internet2 has formal relationships. These organizations have goals and objectives which are similar to those of Internet2. Most of these are the organizations and/or networks serve all of higher education in their respective countries. When its appropriate and possible, Internet2 works to interconnect the high-performance research and education network infrastructure in the United States with that in the countries of these organizations.This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.This is a broad generalization of the Internet2 network infrastructure.
