Session Plan: Title:
Future Internet Developments: Evolution or Flag Days Abstract: Developments of the Internet in the last two decades have been largely evolutionary ones: new systems, protocols, and applications have been developed and put into use without either major network disruptions or the necessity to stop everything and make a “flag day” transition. Yet the adoption of TCP/IP (and IPv4) itself required such a flag day. This talk will examine the conditions that require flag day-style transitions, whether we can continue to avoid them, and what we do if one becomes unavoidable. |

Session Plan: Name: George McLaughlin, Director, International Developments (via videoconference) Name: Mark Prior, Chief Technology Officer (in person) Title:
Planning for massive data transfers - issues and challenges The massive data transfers that will form part of the emerging tapestry of new ways of undertaking science give rise to a new range of issues to be addressed so that optimum use of new network and communication paradigms by researchers are simple and straightforward. Name: Kei Hiraki (in person) Title: Realization and Utilization of high-BW TCP on real application Abstract: Very long-distance high-BW TCP technology has been established by combination of transmission-rate-control technology, TCP acceleration hardware and latest high performance servers. But we still have difficulties to fully utilize this level of network performance in actual application field. In this talk, we will present basic technologies to enable high-BW TCP data transfer, and discuss on its application to disk-to-disk data replication and to PFLOPS class supercomputers. Name: Wade Hong (in person)
Name: Corrie Kost (?) Title: Huge Data Transfer Experimentation over Lightpaths (ppt presentation) Abstract: In this presentation we will present our experimentation with bulk data disk to disk transfers over high speed long distance networks. These experiments conducted as part of the CA*net 4 International Grid Testbed (IGT) demonstrated the viability of 10GbE end to end lightpaths for large scale scientific experiments. A challenge is to achieve high performance utilizing commodity computing hardware. Name: Jing-Jou Yen, Division Manager Title: SDSS Data Transfer Abstract: National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC) has a joint program with the Fermi Laboratories to mirror the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) data. NCHC sets up a lightpath in its "TaiWan Advanced Research and Education Network (TWAREN)” for the SDSS data transfer. This speeds up the SDSS information sharing for physicists working in universities and institutes in Taiwan. This session provides the experience sharing of NCHC efforts with regard to three network set-ups, network operations, applications as well as the future development plan. Name: Chris Elvidge (via videoconference) Title: Data Transfer Challenges For NOAA's Satellite Data Archives Abstract: The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is one of the world's largest collectors of earth observation satellite data. The data are initially processed at a centralized facility near Washington, DC for use in operational weather forecasting and tracking environmental events such as drought, fire and sea surface temperature anomalies. The processed data are also transferred electronically to the NOAA Data Centers located in Asheville, North Carolina and Boulder, Colorado for long term archive and use by the scientific community. With each new generation of satellites, data volumes go up substantially. The next major step up in data volumes will occur in 2008, when the NPP satellite is launched. NPP will produce approximately 2-3 TB of data per day. The presentation will review the challenges facing the NOAA satellite data archives in light of recent data transfer rate test results. |

Session Plan: - Country report by Vietnam & Indonesia - Report from APAN Secretariat (D.Krairit)
Summary: * The following primary members have representative in this General Assembly No representative for the following primary members: NGI-NZ, HARNET, ASTI, ERNET, LEARN * Medical WG is accepted before the Tokyo meeting, including nominations for the election committee itself. Will ask the current election committee members to agree to seek nominations for all positions becoming vacant in 2006 around October/November 2005. This would allow members to have time to make nominations in plenty of time for the January meeting inTokyo. |
