Updated as of 27 December 2007 Note that order of presentations is tentative and subject to change. --- Session 1 The K e-Science Program By Minsun Lee Abstract The national e-Science project launched last 2005 in Korea. Since then, the core common S/W technologies required for building e-Science environment have been developed and five major application areas have been focused to deploy the e-Science environment. We are now in the second stage of the project and it is evolved to the K e-Science program, which is one of the KISTI’s top brand projects. In this presentation, the K e-Science program and future work will be introduced. Biodata Minsun Lee is currently a senior researcher of e-Science Division, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), Daejeon, Korea. She received the B.S. degree in Physics from Sookmyung Women's University, Seoul, Korea and the M.S. in Electrical engineering from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska, US. Her research interests include high speed network applications, optical lambda networking and advanced collaborative cyber-environments with e-Science. She serves as GLORIAD Application working group co-chair and the secretary of GLORIAD-KR advisory board. IOIT-HCM Grid on VINAREN Network & Research for Bioscience Applications By Tran Van Lang, Do Van Long & Dao Van Tuyet Abstract IOIT-HCM Grid is a research system for deploying Grid technologies in Vietnam. Our current research focuses on e-Science applications on Bioscience, GeoScience and e-Health. The Open Source Software of Grid infrastructures were studied in order to use gLite and Globus Tookit. Our initial grid application is the Biogrid. As a key member in VNGrid project, we built up the grid connection between five main organizations in Vietnam through the VINAREN-TEIN2 network. On VNGrid infrastructure, we tried to research and deploy the Grid technology with gLite middleware which was studied from EGEE-2 and TWGrid project. Bioinformatics applications are being researched to deploy on this system. With our design, huge data of genome will be stored in the storage element on main grid node and will public to end-users in Vietnam for using on their submitting jobs to Grid. We are seeking to support and collaboration from other organizations to study expert experiences both in technical and application side. --- Session 2 eScience Collaboration Tools: EVO & Access Grid By Greg Wickham Abstract EVO and Access Grid are collaboration tools built by the research community to support researchers. EVO is a desktop video collaboration tool developed initially to support the High Energy Physics community but finding acceptance in other communities too. The Access Grid Tool kit (AGTk) has been evolving for many years with the latest version (AG3.1) proving very popular in some communities. This presentation will provide an overview and comparison of both these collaboration tools. Biodata Dr. Greg Wickham is the Program Manager, e-Research for AARNet. Working in conjunction with AARNet staff his role primarily is to provide a conduit for researchers to interact with AARNet. Prior to this, he worked in the Infrastructure Development Group (AARNet) and as the GrangeNet Network Operations Manager. At GrangeNet, in addition to maintaining the network on a day-to-day basis, he liaised with the R&E community (both Australian and international); conducted workshops on network technologies; co-designed the GrangeNet II architecture in collaboration with Cisco optical engineers; and provided support for activities that used the GrangeNet network. Historically prior to joining GrangeNet, he had several roles at Deakin University: tutoring and lecturing in the School of Computing and Mathematics, and finally Network Section Leader (ITSD). He has a PhD degree in Computer Science. High Definition Video & Collaboration Platforms for e-Research Jim DeRoest Abstract High bandwidth research & education networks provide a conduit for extreme resolution, low latency video collaboration environments for research activities. ResearchChannel through technology partnerships with international member institutions has developed an open source uncompressed internet high definition conferencing system called “iHDTV”. The system has recently been integrated with EVL’s Sage Optiportal system. In addition to iHDTV development, ResearchChannel has also created a Web 2.0 collaboratory environment called “Research1”. The speaker will discuss iHDTV and Research1 including a a recent microscopy demonstration at SC’07. Plans for iHDTV bandwidth bridging, desktop support and 4K super high definition video will also be discussed. Biodata Jim DeRoest is director, Technology Initiatives for ResearchChannel, University of Washington Technologies, and director, e-Science Initiatives for Pacific Northwest GigaPOP. His team is involved in research and development focusing on high definition low latency tele-presence, asset capture, digitization, management, and delivery exploiting next generation networks and cyber-infrastructure. NorStore - A National Distributed Storage Infrastructure for Research & Education By Jan Meijer Abstract The NorStore project aims to establish and operate a national data storage infrastructure that provides non-trivial services to scientific disciplines with a variety of needs for storing digital data. The infrastructure will provide easy, secure and transparent access to distributed storage resources, provide large aggregate capacities for storage and data transfer, and optimize the utilization of the overall resource capacity. The project is a broad and nationally coordinated effort. The infrastructure will be an integrated part in the national e-Infrastructure that serves a variety of sciences. It will be connected to resources that are located at several major research centers in Norway, including heterogeneous computing systems, networks, other data storage systems, and possibly scientific instruments. Long-term objectives are: * Operate a reliable national infrastructure for storage of digital data that is available for Norwegian research * Deploy and enable the development of new storage services that add value to the existing e-Infrastructure * Provide capacity and services for the long-term storage of digital data * Facilitate the establishment of digital scientific repositories in a broad range of scientific and technological applications * Enable the Norwegian research community to (automatically) benefit from the advances in storage technologies * Contribute to the unification of interfaces to storage resources within Norway and abroad Biodata Having waited long enough for the Netherlands to grow or otherwise acquire proper mountains, Jan Meijer moved to Norway in April 2007 to start working for UNINETT, the Norwegian national research and educational network where he is part of the service development department. At UNINETT, he is responsible for defining and running the UNINETT storage activities and looks into the challenges associated with large distributed storage infrastructures. He is also working on furthering the use of digital signature and encryption technology. Before moving to UNINETT, he worked at SURFnet where he started in 1998, joining the SURFnet-CERT. Over the years he mostly involved himself with the areas of incident response, security, PKI, internet voting and system administration although many sidesteps could not be resisted. He has contributed to the TF-CSIRT, FIRST, TF-EMC2 and the IETF. Recent visible work outside the security area can be found in the Rijnland Internet Voting System project and the TERENA SCS. --- Session 3 |
