AMPATH StarLight Rio Grid Workshop

这笔资金将允许佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）为2002年在巴西举行的AMPATH StarLight里约热内卢网格研讨会提供关键技术组件。FIU率先通过AMPATH项目建立了与南美的研究网络连接。一项企业捐款用于在芝加哥的StarLight和迈阿密的AMPATH之间提供高速连接，从而从迈阿密到b里约热内卢。该提案与三个科学应用程序形成了伙伴关系。这将在适当的调整期和会议期间为他们带来无与伦比的网络服务水平。该研讨会极有可能刺激非美国对网络基础设施的后续投资，这将有利于目前面临挑战的美国项目。

This funding will allow Florida International University (FIU) to contribute a key technology component to the 2002 AMPATH StarLight Rio Grid Workshop in Brazil. FIU has lead the nation in establishing research networking connectivity to South Amercan through the AMPATH Project. A corporate donation has been made to provide high-speed connectivity between StarLight in Chicago and AMPATH in Miami and thus from Miami and to Rio. The proposal forms a partnership with three scientific applications. This will bring an un-paralleled level of network services to them for an appropriate tuning period and then for the length of the conference. The workshop has a high likelyhood of inciting subsequent non U.S. investment in networking infrastructure that would benefit currently challenged U.S. programs.
