Research and Educational Networking and Cyberinfrastructure Russ Hobby, Internet2 Dan Updegrove, NLR University of Kentucky CI Days 22 February 2010

Overview  The nature of much research today: Russ  Some applications of R&E nets: Dan

The Nature of Research Today  Discipline groups working on a common project.  The groups are made of researchers from multiple institutions.  They use the network in support of Virtual Organizations (VOs)

Example Researcher using CI Jane is an environmental researcher and is going to find a solution to Global Warming. To do this she needs to collect and store data, do analysis of the data and run some simulation models to test her hypothesis. She will share ideas, data and results with her Discipline Group. Here are her steps in using CI

What is Under the CI Hood?  Someday you will tell a car where to go and it will take you there  We aren’t there yet  You currently need to know that that a car has an engine, brakes, fuel system, etc  Likewise with CI, you don’t have to know all the details, but it is good to know about the parts  Let’s look at what Jane uses
