5/5/98
Today’s Internet
Growing at 10 - 15% per month
Capacity lags applications
• The “world wide wait”
• Human interaction awkward
• Internet telephony
• Video conferencing
• Shared authoring
• Distributed large scale computing and data
base efforts impossible
5/5/98
Today’s Internet
Mission-critical applications seldom
pursued on the public Internet
• Authentication
• “Best efforts” not good enough
Intranets and Extranets instead
• Match capacity and demand
• Provide a more secure environment
• Don’t reach the public at large, though!
5/5/98
Barriers to Progress
Providers swamped attempting to
match capacity to demand
No large scale development
environment available
Negative-sum competitive
environment inhibits investment
Advanced applications can’t be
deployed
5/5/98
Advanced Internet
Projects
Next Generation Internet (NGI)

Cyberinfrastructure Vision:
More Than High-End Computing and
Connectivity
• Focused making greater capabilities available
across the science and engineering research
communities
• Allows applications to interoperate across
institutions and disciplines
• Ensures that data and software are preserved
and easily available to all
• Empowers enhanced collaboration over
distance and across disciplines
Report of the National Science Foundation
Blue-Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure
Cyberinfrastructure Days
• TeraGrid, Open Science Grid, Internet2 and
EDUCAUSE collaboration
• Assist campuses in their CI planning
• Reach out to early and later-adopting
disciplines
• Gather feedback/insight on services the
national organizations could provide to aid
campuses and discipline communities
