As outlined by the National

Cyberinfrastructure in its recently released
report Revolutionizing
Science and Engineering
through Cyberinfrastructure, groundbreaking
research in many fields of science
and engineering, such as genomics and
earthquake research, increasingly
demands the use of advanced
networking. Dr. Freeman will outline
some of these demands and the
research programs the National
Science Foundation is encouraging to meet
them.
With responsibility for the
coordination of planning, budget, and
assessment activities for the federal
Networking and Information
Technology R&D Program,
Dr. Nelson will provide an overview of the
federal government's activities in
optical networks, middleware and grid
computing, many of which are carried
out through grants to universities.
Over 500 leaders in research
and education networking from around the
world are expected to attend the
Spring 2003 Internet2 Member Meeting.
The meeting will feature
sessions on the latest developments in optical
networks, emerging middleware
technologies, security on high-performance
networks, and the scientific and
scholarly collaboration capabilities
enabled by advanced networking. The
program was selected from the
largest number of proposals ever
submitted for an Internet2 Member Meeting.
