IAP '99 - Internet2

I A P ' 9 9 I N T E R N E T 2 The Next High Performance Network for Higher Education | Wednesday, January 13,1999 from 8:30 - 4:30 p.m.(lunch 12-1:30 p.m.) Room 10-250 Internet2 is a collaborative effort by over 120 US universities to develop advanced Internet technology and applications vital to the research and education missions of higher education. The capabilities made possible by an advanced network like Internet2 will undoubtedly affect the way we teach and conduct research. The aim of this seminar is to present an understanding both the technology and the history behind the launching of Internet2. The seminar will provide a framework for understanding the relationship between high-performance networks and high-performance applications. The seminar will also offer examples of Internet2 applications currently under development at MIT and elsewhere and describe some of the architecture, middleware tools and infrastructure components needed to support these types of applications.
