High Performance Metropolitan and Internet2 Connectivity for Portland Oregon Research Institutions

这项高性能连接奖为俄勒冈州波特兰市的三个研究机构提供支持，以建立与华盛顿大学千兆pop的高性能连接。涉及的机构是俄勒冈研究生院、俄勒冈健康科学大学和波特兰州立大学。他们形成的都市区域网络最初旨在支持他们的联合研究兴趣，有望最终对都市环境中的卫生和其他公共服务、教育和社区访问产生先进的网络影响。在这个先进的网络连接上支持的初步研究包括“3-D可见胚胎心脏项目”、“Qasar可预测、自适应多媒体传输项目”和“CORIE项目”（哥伦比亚河处理气象和其他相关环境问题的原型系统）。

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).
