I2-Class Applications  What are “I2 applications”?  You know them when you see them § Deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engaging in teaching and learning  What are “I2 applications”?  You know them when you see them § Deliver qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engaging in teaching and learning

GoalsGoals  Enhance current applications with new features  Create new applications that weren’t previously possible  Enhance current applications with new features  Create new applications that weren’t previously possible

What it Takes  Engaging the applications developers  Building a network that delivers the end- to-end functionality required by the applications  Engaging the applications developers  Building a network that delivers the end- to-end functionality required by the applications

Developer Outreach  “What is I2 and how does it make a difference?”  Motivate faculty and researchers to engage in building I2 applications  Equip people with the knowledge needed to create I2 apps  Demos, printed/online collateral, outreach, …  “What is I2 and how does it make a difference?”  Motivate faculty and researchers to engage in building I2 applications  Equip people with the knowledge needed to create I2 apps  Demos, printed/online collateral, outreach, …

Infrastructure Issues  Moving from LANs to wide area § Scaling and robustness  Moving from ATM to IP reliance § Many wide area demos have required end-to-end PVCs § This doesn’t scale to internet-wide interoperability  Middleware § Technologies: QoS, multicast, security § Portability, interoperability, and re-use § Policy and technical issues  Moving from LANs to wide area § Scaling and robustness  Moving from ATM to IP reliance § Many wide area demos have required end-to-end PVCs § This doesn’t scale to internet-wide interoperability  Middleware § Technologies: QoS, multicast, security § Portability, interoperability, and re-use § Policy and technical issues
