Overall description
With the emergence of dynamic hybrid networks, e-science now has the raw
materials to create new instruments for exploring the universe and new
models and environments for international collaboration. At SC06, the
NSF DRAGON Project, in collaboration with SCinet and the XNet program,
will demonstrate the integration of hybrid network services with
scientific instruments, computation and storage facilities, high
resolution video and visualization environments, and other cyber
resources to create powerful new concepts in globally distributed
applications.
Utilizing technology developed by DRAGON and its collaborating partners
and colleagues, the demonstration will show how sophisticated and highly
customized networks can be established dynamically and on demand to meet
the needs of specific research teams and/or science programs. The
DRAGON demonstration will dynamically establish application specific
networks to incorporate end systems in several booths within the Tampa
Convention Center. Further, these application specific networks will
link to facilities in Japan, Europe, and across the US to create a
/dedicated/ distributed environments for scientific collaboration.
This demonstration will combine hybrid network infrastructure from the
US, Japan, and Europe, GMPLS network control software and middleware
developed by DRAGON, and applications in the areas of electronic very
long baseline interferometry (E-VLBI) and high resolution video
distribution. Unlike previous XNET technologies, this demonstration
does not focus on pure transport capacity of a network link or switch.
Instead, it demonstrate an ability to establish entire network
topologies dynamically that exhibit deterministic, predictable, and
repeatable performance characteristics. The GMPLS enabled network
will show multi-domain, multi-layer service provisioning at layer2 and
the lambda layer. The Application Specific Topologies middleware
developed by DRAGON will demonstrate XML (web services) based network
descriptions being instantiated automatically end to end and across the
world..
Within the SC06 venue, the demonstration can be seen first hand by
visiting the participating organization's booths: Xnet (booth 1848), NASA
(booth 917), ADVA Networks (booth 1542), Internet2 (booth 1451), and NICT
(Osaka University, booth 443).

Misc. Logistics
- How to find the SCinet staging area:
- go in the main door of the TCC, off Franklin Street (there's a big sign that says "Tampa Convention Center"), at Franklin and Channelside. As soon as you go in the doors, turn right and go back by the vending machines and the ATM, and you'll see the door for Staging. Ralph McEldowney will be back there and can get you a badge then if you don't already have one.
- SCinet staging area phone number: 352.273.1050
- some Japanese: "hisashiburi dess ne!" - long time, no see (he - sa - she - boor - e dez ne)
