This award is made under the high performance connections portion of ANIR's"Connections to the Internet" announcement, NSF 98-102. Researchers at theUniversity of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) and the University of Arkansasfor Medical Sciences (UAMS), in collaboration with the University ofArkansas at Fayetteville (UAF), have formed a consortium, ARKnet2. ARKnet2 is to make available high bandwidth communication resources andwill develop an interstate high bandwidth connections network foruniversity researchers, which will have connections to a national highbandwidth network.The Arkansas Consortium plans to build a ATM-based ARKnet2 backbone fromLittle Rock to Fayetteville. Arkansas is a member of the Great PlainsNetwork (GPN), which will share resources among six states that are allqualified for EPSCoR funding. The GPN will connect ARKnet2 to its gigaPOPin Kansas City and will provide access to the vBNS and federal agencynetworks.Research supported by the resulting network access includes: seismicanalysis, nanodimensional molecular device modeling, combustion analysisand computational fluid dynamics, microscopy and biotechnology advances,fetal magnetoencephalography, and studies of physiological effects ofmicrogravity. Collaborations will involve facilities and universitiesincluding: NASA Johnson Space Center, University of Florida, University ofTennessee, Old Dominion University, Yale, Louisiana State University,Temple University, and Argonne National Laboratory.

该奖项是根据ANIR的“互联网连接”公告NSF 98-102中的高性能连接部分颁发的。阿肯色大学小石城分校(UALR)和阿肯色大学医学科学分校(UAMS)的研究人员与阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校(UAF)合作，成立了一个名为ARKnet2的联盟。ARKnet2计划提供高带宽通信资源，并将为大学研究人员开发一个州际高带宽连接网络，该网络将连接到全国高带宽网络。阿肯色州联盟计划从小石城到费耶特维尔建立一个基于ATM的ARKnet2骨干网。阿肯色州是大平原网络(GPN)的成员，该网络将在六个有资格获得EPSCoR资金的州之间共享资源。GPN将ARKnet2与其在堪萨斯城的千兆POP连接起来，并将提供vBNS和联邦机构网络的接入。由此产生的网络接入支持的研究包括：地震分析、纳米分子设备建模、燃烧分析和计算流体动力学、显微镜和生物技术进展、胎儿脑磁图，以及微重力的生理效应研究。合作将涉及设施和大学，包括：NASA约翰逊空间中心、佛罗里达大学、田纳西大学、老道明大学、耶鲁大学、路易斯安那州立大学、坦普尔大学和阿贡国家实验室。
