International Perspectives on Research Computing
| Title: | International Perspectives on Research Computing (ID: NMD07005) | | Author(s): | Bill St. Arnaud (CANARIE, Inc.) | | Origin: | Contributed by or Presented at Net@EDU (State Networks) (02/05/2007) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Research computing-how to respond to the increasing diverse demands for services and support for computing and networking-is commanding greater attention. Now that high-end desktop hardware is affordable and high-speed networking readily available, institutions face expanding resource demand and the need for more coordinated planning. U.S. universities are not alone in confronting this exponential demand-it is universal. This session will provide a look at how Canada, the EU, and Mexico are responding to the challenge. | | View this resource: | |
Networking Research: Trends and Issues
| Title: | Networking Research: Trends and Issues (ID: NMD07008) | | Author(s): | Deepankar Medhi (University of Missouri-Kansas City) | | Origin: | Contributed by or Presented at Net@EDU (State Networks) (02/06/2007) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Networking research can be broadly categorized into two directions: understanding and improving current networks, and imagining future networks and related protocol/technology research and development. Significant research continually improves current features of the Internet, a prime example of a "future network" when it was envisioned over 30 years ago. External forces can also play a critical role in networking research (for example, the deployment of services that become popular overnight because current networks can support them). This phenomenon raises additional issues that can feed into either of the two broad directions. In this talk, I'll discuss a few historical examples and summarize the current trends and obstacles in networking research, addressing the need for both short- and long-term networking research directions. | | View this resource: | |
