  19. Making Connections Across Technologies • e-VLBI astronomers leverage end-to-end performance tools to fine-tune instrument connectivity • Corporate members build on Shibboleth to implement authorization services in products • Earthquake researchers routinely use the Internet2 Commons videoconferencing

  20. Inter-Disciplinary Partnerships Catalyse New Uses • Direct Visualizations • Data Collection/Integration • Data Mining • Device Intercommunication • Haptic Immersion • Augmented Dexterity • Advanced Sensors • Wireless Data Collection • Economic Models for Reimbursement Realities Image courtesy of: Dr. Christopher Johnson, Director of the SCI Institute 1

  23. Synthetic Worlds • Otherwise known as massive multiplayer interactive games • Over 5 million “inhabitants” today • Doubling every 18 months • About 2% of the Internet-connected population age 14-28 spend more time in the synthetic world than in the real world • Linked to the real world • Physical artifacts like playing cards • Ebay auctions for “money” and resources • Real people make real money

  24. PIC Simulation and Dose Calculations • PIC Simulations to study proton acceleration using laser induced plasmas • Collaborating with JAERI and NTT of Japan who provide computational facilities, FCCC provides the clinical application of this research • Data transfer requirements of up to 10 Gb • Goal to provide theoretical basis for laser accelerated proton beam radiotherapy • Monte Carlo Studies • Accurate dose calculation and treatment validation for radiotherapy • Typical data package for remote dose computation is about 100-500 Mb • Goal is to establish network based treatment planning and dose verification for radiotherapy

  25. Remote Pathology Consults • Using DVTS (Digital Video Transport System) at 30 Mbps, Multicast • Pathology faculty across four regional hospitals can conduct regular virtual consults with superior high quality images and minimal delay in transmitted slide manipulation Dr. Michael Feldman, UPENN Dr. David Foran, UMDNJ
