Fostering International Partnerships
• Develop joint projects supported by
US-Brazil programs
• Can start by making Grids a reality for
the HENP group in Rio de Janeiro
• Work with partner NRN’s in Brazil to
establish inter-regional and local
network infrastructures
Resources in Support of CHEPREO
• FIU-AMPATH will provide network engineering and network
resources for International Networks, Grids and
Collaborative Systems
• In partnership with Caltech, UF and FSU, FIU-AMPATH and
UERJ will
– Foster the FIU Physics Department’s strategic expansion into CMS
physics through grid-based computing
– Extend the iVDGL to South American countries through the
AMPATH research network
• Serve under-represented communities through research,
science outreach, Grid-based computing and international
networking
Grid-Physics CyberInfrastructure
• Implement a Grid-Physics Cyberinfrastructure
in the Americas
• Facilitate institutions from South and Central
America to join the CMS collaboration
• In collaboration with partner universities FIUAMPATH will
– Extend iVDGL to FIU and South America
– Extend D0 to South America
– Extend the CMS Grid testbed and the WorldGrid
to FIU and UERJ

Launched in March 2000 as a
project led by Florida
International University (FIU),
with industry support from Global
Crossing (GX), Cisco Systems,
Lucent Technologies, Juniper
Networks and Terremark
Worldwide
Enables wide-bandwidth digital
communications between the
Abilene network and 10 National

Astronomy Projects in the Region
GEMINI: The Gemini Project has just connected its two telescopes in Mauna Kea (Hawaii) and Cerro Pachon
(Chile) via Internet2. The Gemini Project is an international partnership with two 8.1-meter telescopes (each
telescope has a main mirror over 26 feet across.) One telescope is located on Hawaii's Mauna Kea, and the
other on Chile's Cerro Pachón. The name Gemini comes from the mythological twins, whose stars will be
visible to both telescopes. See http://www.gemini.edu for more information.
ESO: Other important optical telescopes facilities are Cerro Tololo (Interamerican Observatory) and Las
Campanas. Also the two ESO (European Southern Observatory) facilites La Silla and Paranal. These are all
candidates for future high-speed network access. The European Southern Observatory is an
intergovernmental, European organization for astronomical research. It has ten member countries. ESO
operates astronomical observatories in Chile and has its headquarters in Garching, near Munich, Germany.
See http://www.eso.org/ for more information
ALMA: The ALMA radio observatory is a combined effort of the USA (NRAO) and Europe (ESO), with the likely
addition of Japan (NAOJ). Construction is scheduled to start in the 2004-2006 timeframe with full completion
towards the end of the decade, in the 2010-2011 timeframe. See http://www.alma.nrao.edu/ for
more information.
Environmental monitoring in South America could be another area of great potential interest to US
science. For instance, being an earthquake country, Chile is a good candidate for geophysics research as well.
At AccessNova-UChile, we are presently involved in research work to connect earthquake sensors to IP data
networks, with web-based access. See http://www.accessnova.cl/ for more information on the
AccessNova project.
The Arecibo Observatory is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), a national
research center operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science
Foundation (NSF). Additional support is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA). The Observatory operates on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day every day, providing observing time,
electronics, computer, travel and logistic support to scientists from all over the world. All results of research are
published in the scientific literature which is publicly available. As the site of the world's largest single-dish radio
telescope, the Observatory is recognized as one of the most important national centers for research in radio
astronomy, planetary radar and terrestrial aeronomy. Use of the Arecibo Observatory is available on an equal,
competitive basis to all scientists from throughout the world. See http://www.naic.edu/open.htm
for more information.
