TEIN2 Applications/Collaborations
Framework
Session 1 – 15 May 2007
13th TEIN2 Technical Meeting
Bandung, Indonesia
Applications/Collaboration Framework
What we should try to achieve in these sessions
 The EC has made it clear that there needs to evidence of the value of the
TEIN2 network infrastructure
 Although there have been many demonstrations in areas such as
telemedicine, there needs to be a broader base of application areas to
illustrate the value of the network to more TEIN2 communities
 Although we know or feel that TEIN2 is contributing to innovation and
collaboration in our region, this needs to be documented
 The Asia-Kyushu Advanced Medical Network has a comprehensive list of
what has been achieved in telemedicine (but broader than just TEIN2)
http://www.aqua.med.kyushu-u.ac.jp/
 Other application areas are not well documented, we need to address this

What has been achieved since the last TC meeting? (1)
 At Manila, all TEIN2 partners participated in at least one of three remote
telemedicine demos – India and the US were also involved. 12 countries
and around 100 people helped make this a success
 DVTS has now been depoyed in all TEIN2 member countries (but need to
extend the reach within many countries to improve the value)
 Preparations for demonstrators for Xi’An have received much attention
(more on this tomorrow)
 Kanchana and colleagues ran a multimedia workshop in Europe
 Shimizu-san and Okamura-san will visit Europe soon for meetings with
surgeons and network engineers to engage for Xi’An

What has been achieved since the last TC meeting? (2)
 An opportunity has arisen for potential TEIN2 participation in Microsoft
Research’s ConferenceXP Pacific Rim initiative (demo tomorrow)
http://research.microsoft.com/conferencexp/
 Participation in the 1st Global GEOGrid workshop and gave joint
presentation with ThaiGrid on TEIN2 performance for PRAGMA sites (more
tomorrow in NOC session) and from Pakorn on earth observation
 Participation in Internet2 South Asia workshop with theme of enhancing
R&E connectivity to and within South Asia (Hina Sharma demo at Xi’An)
 Engagement with radioastronomers in China, Netherlands and Australia
(demo at Xi’An)

What has been achieved since the last TC meeting? (3)
 Proposal to support a new “ResearchChannel” like e-learning initiative
submitted to and approved by ASEAN under the ASEAN Virtual Institute of
Science and Technology (AVIST) program – refer report from Kanchana
 Potential to use TEIN2 for e-social sciences initiative involving UK eScience Centre, China and Western Australia
 Discussion on using TEIN2 to transfer data from new Thai THEOS satellite
between Norway, Thailand and Japan
 Regular videoconferences using TEIN2 between Royal Children’s Hospital
and Yogyakarta, Indonesia and well as NHP, Hanoi
 E-learning initiatives – need more documentation
All in all – a lot of activity (this list is not complete)
Applications/Collaboration Framework
We need to agree a strategy to develop the portfolio
 The draft spreadsheet circulated was a first cut at trying to capture key
information – it may not be the best form – suggestions welcome
 Initial strategy on which the spreadsheet was based:
 identify the main application/collaboration focus areas that TEIN2 can
help to facilitate (also specific areas within the discipline)
 determine what information needs to be captured
 identify “user communitiy groups” (eg APAN WGs, PRAGMA, etc)
 identify “lead” person(s) for each focus area
 identify a “coordinator/point person” for each country (could be >1)
 identify ways of capturing the data and keeping it updated

Applications/Collaboration Framework
Proposed Focus Areas
 Telemedicine (telesurgery training; teleconsultation/assessment)
 Emerging Infections (could be part of “disaster/natural hazards” scenario)
 Telesciences (earth monitoring, GEOSS, climate change, biosciences,
astronomy, access to remote instruments and resources)
 Teleteaching
 Preservation of Digital Heritage
 Collaboration Tools and Immersive Environments
 Measurement and Monitoring (coordinated by NOCs?)
 What other Focus Ares would add value? – suggestions?

Applications/Collaboration Framework
What information needs to be captured?





Description of the activity (enough to be meaningful)
Note if demo or regular use
Dates or frequency (if in regular use)
Participants (institutions, countries, number of sites in each country)
Other relevant information depending on the activity
8
Applications/Collaboration Framework
Identify and engage with User Community Groups
 Possibilities:
 Telemedicine – APAN Medical WG
 Emerging Infections – APAN Medical WG, PRAGMA Biosciences
 Disaster Systems/GEOSS – APAN EM WG/ PDC/ NOAA/JAXA/other
 Climate Change – APAN Earth Systems WG? Other?
 Biosciences - ?
 Remote Access to Scientic Instruments/Resources – APAN eScience
WG, APAN Middleware WG

Identify Lead Person(s) [Champions] for each Area
 These people will act as the point-persons for the activity across all TEIN2
members as far as possible. We have some volunteers/default people
 Telemedicine - Shimizu-san/Okamura-san
 Teleteaching – Kanchana
 Preservation of Digital Heritage – Faridah
 Earth Monitoring/Disaster Systems - ?
 Earth Systems/Climate Change - ?
 Biosciences - ?
 Remote Access to Instruments, Resources/ e-Science - ?
 Collaboration Tools and Immersive Environments - ?
 Measurement and Monitoring – NOC?
Applications/Collaboration Framework

Applications/Collaboration Framework
Indentify upcoming events that will use TEIN2
 These can be powerful for illustrtion
 How do we best capture information about these?
