AMPATH
Workshop to Identify
Areas of Scientific Collaboration
between
the US and the AMPATH Service Area
August 15-17, 2001
Florida International
University
Koven's Conference Center at Biscayne Bay Campus
Miami, Florida
The main objective of the workshop
is to discover the benefits of utilizing a high-performance
research and education network, known as AMPATH. AMPATH is a
project of Florida International University in collaboration
with Global Crossing, in support of scientific research
applications that either involve collaboration between U.S. and
multi-national researchers or wholly run U.S. projects in the
AMPATH service area. AMPATH connects Research and Education networks
in the service area of South and Central America, Mexico and the
Caribbean to the
Internet2 Abilene network and the STAR TAP . AMPATH's goal is to
facilitate research collaboration in the AMPATH service area and the rest of the world to
further advance U.S. science and education. This anticipated
discovery is supported in several ways. On April 27, 2001, an AMPATH
Request for Application Information was sent to researchers
around the world.
The purpose of the request is
to solicit high-performance network dependent application
information from all potential AMPATH users, whether through
membership in AMPATH, or the need / desire to collaborate with
researchers and educators in the AMPATH service area (meaning
our potential users could be anywhere in the world). It is
anticipated that response to this request will help identify the
universities and research centers in the AMPATH service area who
require, or would take advantage of, high-performance
connectivity to research institutions in the US and worldwide if
it were available. Responses will also help to identify
researchers that will be invited to the proposed AMPATH
workshop, and we will attempt to coordinate joint presentations
between collaborators in the U.S., Canada, the AMPATH service
area, Europe and Asia/Pacific.
Major funding for this workshop
was provided by the National Science Foundation's Division
of Advanced Networking Infrastructure and Research.
