1. I Taller de Articulacion: e-Ciencia Resumen - Area de Astronomia D.

2. Y Bandwidth!

3. Data Petabutts!

4. I Taller de Articulacion: e-Ciencia Resumen - Area de Astronomia Large personal bias! Easy job - everyone talked about astronomy Chilean astronomy already competitve globally but proper growth/use of e-science essential to improve 10% Chilean time on international telescopes is a TREMENDOUS and UNIQUE driver More BIG telescopes will soon come (e.g. LSST, ALMA) and others being planned… Current data rates already very high and will soon (a few years) be astronomical… WE MUST ACT NOW, AND WELL, TO KEEP GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE, PROPERLY USE OUR UNIQUE ADVANTAGE AND PREPARE FOR THE DATA AVALANCHE (~15 TB/NIGHT)!

5. Musts Chile should join IVOA - ChiVO! KAWAX project already addressing this in detail but we should JOIN NOW! Will be first South American member! Requires leader, leadership… Also funding for software/middleware development, hardware maintainence

6. Musts Increased bandwith ESSENTIAL! Immediate goal - 1Gbps, Ideal - 5-10 Gbps Essential for moving/analyzing data, collaborations Chile should invest more in basic research!

7. Highly Desirable Chilean National Data Center(s) Operational center for ChiVO Taller/tutorial re: use and development of VO Decadal Survey - plan and act as a NATIONAL COMMUNITY Revise negotiation process with new facilities SOCHIAS should play strong role Can we jointly apply for Comite-Mixto ESO- Chile/ALMA/Gemini funds?

8. Highly Desirable Chileans should find a niche to fill in software/middleware/services/tools for applications related to LSST and/or ALMA That way we can actually CONTRIBUTE to these projects and not just USE them Super Computing Center Astronomy + other disciplines - unite!
