High Performance Metropolitan and Internet2 Connectivity for Portland Oregon Research Institutions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This high performance connections award provides support for three research institutions in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area to establish a very high performance connection to the gigapop at the University of Washington. The involved institutions are Oregon Graduate Institute, Oregon Health Sciences University, and Portland State University. Their formation of a metropolitan area network, initially designed to support their combined research interests, holds promise for eventual impact of advanced networking on health and other public services, education, and community-based access within a metropolitan setting. Initial research to be supported atop this advanced network link includes the "3-D Visible Embryonic Heart Project", "The Qasar Project for Predictable, Adaptive Multimedia Delivery", and "The CORIE Project" (a prototype system for the Columbia River that deals with meteorological and other related environmental issues).
