Introduction to Access Grid Technology
Multimedia group-to-group Interactive Collaboration Environment that relies on IP Multicast Backbone MBone Tools (VIC, RAT , SDR)
Access Grid nodes are "designed spaces” that provide a high-quality compelling user experience.
Benefits
Quick and real life remote meeting experience
Help create a virtual organization at a personal level
Allows frequent meeting between research groups
Reducing transportation cost
Applications
Distance Learning Remote collaboration Virtual Research Center Remote Interview Multinational Trade negotiation
Problems in Thailand
Most of the networks still have no Multicast support Policy and security concern The lack of users request and
applications Low bandwidth for most part of the
country Lack of technical expertise in this
area
Thai Access Grid Project
A collaboration project under Thaigrid Project
Goal Built a collaborative environment in
Thailand based on Access Grid Technology Low-cost hardware solution Low network speed, with and without
multicast Solution based on Free software Focus on quick deployment of personel
station and small side ag-node
Participating Members
Kasetsart University (KU) King Mongkut's Institute of Technolo
gy North Bangkok (KMITNB) Suranaree University of Technology
(SUT) Looking for more!
Past Events
December 3, 2001 First meeting KU and KMITNB
December 21, 2001 KU, KMITNB, VisLab at U of Sydney
and NUS January 10, 2002
Remote tutorial (MPI) KU and SUT
TAG Experimental Site at KU
Omega ProjectOpen Multi-Environment Grid Adapter
Goal investigate the infrastructure that appropriate
for developing country in Asia pacific region Make access grid really accessible to low
computer expertise users. allows mobile user to be part of the access
grid meeting using Mobile Personal Access Grid Station (MPAGS).
Technology Peer-to-Peer Implementation Automatics and easy to use Based on XML , Web services Technology

Conclusion
Access grid is a very useful technology There are problems that must be solved, the
software solution must be developed (Omega project)
Collaboration in Thailand and Asia Pacific is important Define standard and best practice Connection through global access grid
