NCHC & AG 10/2002 – deployed 1st AG node at Hsin-chu

01/2003 – deployed 2nd node at Tainan

03/2003 - attended GGF7 AG 2 workshop 04/2003 – held Access Grid user group meeting in Long- tang 04/2003 – Taiwan AG website 05/2003 – SARS Grid 05/2003 – installed Beacon server 06/2003 – deployed two perpetual bridge servers at both Hsin-chu

and Tainan 08/2003 – demonstrated and emulated a collaborative teaching en

vironment using AG

Two major deployment activities

•During SARS outbreak •Distance Learning

When the medical staffs of several key hospitals in Taiwan were quarantined by the SARS epidemic, threatening to make a critical situation even worse, computer scientists there, in the U.S., and throughout the Asia Pacific Rim turned to grid computing technology and old-fashioned teamwork. PRAGMA -- the Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly -- showed how relationships and expertise developed to tackle computational research could also help thousands of SARS patients in Taiwan.

Some SARS background info…

SARS and AG

•There were designated hospitals to be quarantined.

•Doctors and patients in those hospitals would be quarantined

•But there would be new discoveries about the SARS form those hospitals

•Quarantined doctors had many valuable first-hand data, eg SARS patients` X-ray, to discuss with other doctors and the only way is via video conferencing

•And AG could help

Training doctors via AG

AG & Collaborative teaching What?

• Giving lectures collaboratively

• Means several teachers for one class How?

• Demo the possibility on Aug 14. 2003

• 5 professors/universities in Taiwan involved

• The facilitator was joining the session from Australia

• Session was via NCHC’s bridge server

Hope to give accredited courses via AG in this coming fall

Future works

More friendly user interface Vic codec modification Security Inter-domain multicast AG over VPN Keep being supportive for any future AG deplo

yments in Taiwan

Thanks for those who had helped us during SARS.
