What we agreed to do for NSF& Expected Outcome of this AHM

Statement that in the YR2 program plan:• Bioscience and Earthscience groups will conduct full-scale

visualization and collaboration trials using sample datasets over updated OptIPuter testbeds in order to identify key system bottlenecks and usability problems with the software developed in Year 1.

Our goals for the next two days:• Help participants in technology layers understand more

about the applications drivers - eg., field trips.• Expand on relationships already established between

groups• Help focus attention where Opti-IO will have the biggest

impact on collaborative work and where tests will guide help guide development of next phase of OpIPuter infrastructure.

2004 Plans

• Geowall2 for EarthScope data collection center at Scripps

• Volume visualization in a sphere

• Georeferencing from screen

• COMPAS integration with IBM SUR grant

• Dark Fiber Connections to GSFC, JPL, and AMES

Education 04 – First Quarter Accomplishments: UCSD/SIO

• “Hardened” Earth Science Curriculum – web version for national distribution– Teacher version of curriculum (

education.sdsc.edu/optiputer)• Installation of GeoWall in

permanent location (mounted), connected to OptIPuter network.– Need to get it also connected to

the Internet• Student visualization contest

Plans for 04 – Neuroscience
