Abstract:

In the spirit of convergence, the former Wireless Networking and Integrated Communications Strategies working groups have merged and will be once again holding their all day meeting as the Converged Communications working group (CCWG). Please join us to discuss some exciting topics in the realm of convergence and mobility such as Duke University's pilot wireless network project (using 802.11n) that affords up to five times the performance of traditional wireless networks. And what about IPvideo? Is there anything happening in the WiMAX space? And now that convergence is real, what about "presence" and privacy? Come prepared to share your questions and your experiences.

Campuses as Internet Living Laboratories of the Future

Title:Campuses as Internet Living Laboratories of the Future (ID: NMD0507)
Author(s):Larry Smarr (University of California, San Diego)
Origin:Contributed by or Presented at Net@EDU (State Networks) (02/07/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Campus infrastructure is being transformed by the rapid worldwide growth of data-intensive science. Scientists must have interactive access to large remote datasets and also to massive amounts of shared rotating storage in on-campus colocation facilities. A critical component of this emerging infrastructure are optical networking clear channels, or lambdas across the campus, state, nation, and globe whose entire bandwidth can be dedicated to a single campus researcher. Simultaneously, enormous innovation is occurring in wireless networking. This presentation will offer examples of applications that are driving the OptIPuter project that require personal lambdas and will also describe a number of Calit2 experiments to determine how best to move from "a gaggle of access points" to a dependable multimode wireless Internet infrastructure on campus.
