Research for Realization of International Research Network

近年来，国际科研网络的实现是开展国际化学术研究的必然要求。其中，包括高能物理和空间科学在内的所谓大科学已经在运行国际网络，另一方面，作为研究活动基础设施的通用研究网络正在发达国家之间建立。洲际研究网络协调委员会目前正在发挥国际协调作用，以便有效地发展国际网络。研究的目的是作为亚太国家的主要成员，为协调工作作出贡献。除此之外，本研究还包括贡献APCCIRN，即CCIRN下的亚太区域组织。三年来，主要取得以下成绩：首先，在新形势下，美国的政策变化引起了对历史国际联系的改革，从1995年开始，NSFNET将不再是国际“枢纽”网络。每一个研究网络都应该有其解决方案，以保持未来的国际互联互通。研究人员找到了合适的解决方案，即在合作伙伴之间分担国际连接的费用。第一次试验将于1995年在日本和欧洲国家之间进行。其次，通过研究建立了亚太地区的网络信息中心（NIC）。第三，国际高速联网试验将从1995年开始，分三年进行。通过这项研究的活动。该试验的目的是展示七国集团国家之间高速研究联网的现实。

In recent years, the realization of international research network is demanding for conducting internationalized academic researches. Among of them, so called big science that includes higher energy physics and space sciences has been operating international networks, on the other hand, general purpose research network as an infrastructure of research activities is now establishing among developed countries.The Coordination Committee for Intercontinental Research Network (CCIRN) is now conducting international coordination roles in order to develop international networking in the efficient manner. The purpose of the research is to contribute the coordination as the leading member from Asia/Pacific countries. In addition to this, to contribute the APCCIRN which is Asia Pacific regional organization under the CCIRN also includes in this research.During three years, major achievements are as following ; Firstly, in the new situation arising policy change of the United States has caused the reformation on histrical international connections, because NSFNET will not be the international "Hub" network from 1995. Every research network should have its solution to maintain international connectivity in the future. Investigators of the study found appropriate solution where cost of international connection would shar among partners. First trial will be feasible in 1995 for the connection between Japan and European countries. Secondly, Network Information Center (NIC) in Asia/Pacific region has established through the research. Thirdly, international high speed networking trail will initiate as three years project from 1995. by the activities of this research. Objective of the trial is to demonstrate reality of high speed research networking among the G7 countries.
