ICFA Standing Committee on Interregional
Connectivity (SCIC)

• Created by ICFA in July 1998 in Vancouver
• CHARGE
• Make recommendations to ICFA concerning the
  connectivity between the Americas, Asia and
  Europe

HENP Lambda GridsFibers for Physics

• Problem Extract Small Data Subsets of 1 to 100
  Terabytes from 1 to 1000 Petabyte Data Stores
• Survivability of the HENP Global Grid System,
  with hundreds of such transactions per day
  (circa 2007)requires that each transaction be
  completed in a relatively short time.
• Example Take 800 secs to complete the
  transaction. Then
• Transaction Size (TB) Net Throughput
  (Gbps) 1

• 10

• 100
  1000 (Capacity of
  Fiber
  Today)
• Summary Providing Switching of 10 Gbps
  wavelengthswithin 3 years and Terabit
  Switching within 5-7 yearswould enable
  Petascale Grids with Terabyte transactions,as
  required to fully realize the discovery potential
  of major HENP programs, as well as other
  data-intensive fields.

The Digital Divide Perspectives

• Categorize Nature of the Problem Case Studies,
  Identify Barriers
• Lack of Infrastructure
• Political Barriers Policies on International
  Communications Problems at the
  City/State/National Interface
• Cost
• Performance The last 0.1,1,10 mile problem
• Case Studies
• China, Brazil (Rio) Spain (Madrid) Germany
  (Karlsruhe) Romania Slovakia,
  India, Pakistan, others
• Success Examples
• AMPATH Virtual Silk Road (to Central FSU) KEK
  and South East Asia
• Demographics where are the HEP Institutes How
  many physicists what is their bandwidth
  bottleneck
• Terena Compendium
• Demographic plots
• Questionnaire
• How ones network capabilities affect the
  ability to Do Science
• Approaches to a Solution Particular Common
  Characteristics
• Focus on Ways ICFA Help and how ICFA-SCIC Can
  Help

Digital Divide Discussion

• Sent Questionnaire to LHC Experiments and HEP Lab
  Directors
• World Map to fill in set up to fill information
  from one city to another. Also add HEP
  Institutes to the Map.
• Some of this already done by IEEAF
• Phased Implementation
• Phase 1 Analysis and Limited Implementation
  then Review
• Phase 2 Full Implementation
• Phase 3 Maintenance
• Build Web Pages
• Define purpose, project description and goals
• Investigate, gather information
• Need utilization as well as Bandwidth
• Find resources maps and information (e.g. USGS)
• Build database keep it up to date
• Build tools for querying and for entering
  information onto the maps
• Responsibility in Americas HNAlbertoHeidi
  Europe ?Try TERENA
• then Maintenance among the Labs e.g. CERN,
  Fermilab, SLAC
• Connection to other tools PINGER MONALISA
  Monitoring System

18
Digital Divide Discussion (2)

• Web pages for experiences in solving last mile
  problems, local infrastructure, last mile (fiber
  IRU) pricing, vendor contacts
• Systematize, Classify Regions, Countries,
  Institutes
• Dead or Nearly Disconnected Regions
• Hot Spots Use of Existing Capacity to gt 50
• Moderate
• Advanced
• (Grouping by Regions and/or Countries is related
  to the Monitoring Group)
• Doing this is connected to filling in the World
  Map with HEP Institutes
• Begin relationship with IEEAF ?
• Then New Classification also vendors who donated
  something
• Level3, Tyco, GX Cisco, Juniper, Etc. IBM,
  Microsoft (?), Gelato
• Define Conditions Sponsor Plateaus
• Review applications by our committee
• Try to arrange special discounts/allowances for
  less favored countries or regions
• Attractive Web Page with LogosList and describe
  joint research projects.

19
DD Discussion (3) Workshop

• ICFA SCIC Workshop Planning the first Workshop
• Focus on the Digital Divide
• Go to the Region that needs it have a
  well-defined goal for an institute or group of
  institutes (network upgrade see below)
• Need a local organizer (organizing committee)
• Arrange a sponsor
• Possible sponsors, one or more of UNESCO, IAEA,
  NATO or Foundations Companies or individual
  donors.
• Install a good network and leave it running
• Ensure funding for maintenance etc.
• Leave tools for networks and collaboration
  Monitoring, VRVS, etc.
• Get Project Leader(s) also fund raising e.g.
  H.A.
• Target Date February 2004 Rio de Janeiro,
  LISHEP. Organization meeting Early July 2003
  Invite potential sponsors, agencies
• 100-150 people
• NOTE Statement and press release at WSIS
  (Geneva) December 2003.
• Thinking of doing this meeting 2 times per year
  after the first one
• Requires a team for 2 months of planning then
  followup
• Team of 2-3 people 1 to 1.5 FTE travel funds
  etc.

WSIS-RO Bucharest Nov. 7-9WSIS is 12/03 05
(Geneva Tunis)

• The Regional Ministerial Conference, based on the
  UN/ECE membership, is in preparation of the World
  Summit on the Information Society - Bucharest,
  7-9 November 2002
• The UN General Assembly adopted in 2001 a
  resolution endorsing the organization of the
  World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS),
  to be convened under the patronage of the United
  Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, with the
  International Telecommunication Union taking the
  lead role in its preparation along with
  interested UN organizations and the host
  countries. The Summit will offer a unique
  opportunity for the world community to discuss
  and give shape to the Information Society by
  bringing together governments, international
  organizations, private sector and civil society.
  In preparation for this Summit regional
  conferences are organized to develop specific
  proposals.

29
WSIS-RO Bucharest Nov. 7-9WSIS is 12/03 05
(Geneva Tunis)

• The Pan-European Ministerial Conference in
  Bucharest will focus on concrete issues of
  relevance for the region, but will keep the
  balance between regional specificity and the
  global dimension.
• The Conference in Bucharest aims at strengthening
  the relations of cooperation between the
  participating states with a view to adopting a
  common action plan in the field of communications
  and information technology.
• It will be an opportunity for presenting national
  strategies, achievements and challenges that will
  help the participants to have an accurate view of
  the stage in the transition process to an
  Information Society as well as an opportunity to
  develop a platform for dialogue that includes all
  major stakeholders at European level
  Governments, civil society, private sector and
  international agencies.
