Objective	A high speed network with huge capacity is a necessary requirement to promote joint researches for applications such as high energy physics, earth monitoring, bioinformatics, agriculture and forestry fisheries, telemedicine and so on. Researchers developing these applications should know the latest technical information and knowledge in order to maximize the use of the infrastructure available. As well, researchers in the network technology field will benefit from learning how the network is used for practical applications. This could lead to a more focused development of efficient and reliable network. It is most participants in the APAN meeting want to see more interactions between the application people and the network technology people.
