To build an interdisciplinary community that is focused on the research, development, and demonstration of networked collaborative tools to enable the production, use and exchange of very-high-quality digital media over photonic networks. |

International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5) |
|
 The International Conference on Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5), is coming up, hosted by Calit2 in late January.
This conference will be an exciting opportunity for members of the CineGrid community to interact with the collaborative software community.
Registration is quite inexpensive – under $200 (we try to make it very attractive and affordable for students) and the conference is extremely interactive. This will be the first time in five years the conference is held in the USA, and its location is obviously convenient to many CineGrid members.

Research networks could fortell Internets future |

Physicists at Vanderbilt University work with enormous data sets — including data generated by the Geneva, Switzerland-based Hadron proton collider that aims to model the origins of the universe. In collaboration with 2000 other physicists worldwide, Vanderbilt researchers hope to find the answers to profound questions such as “What is matter?”
The data set is so large that individual researchers work with only parts of it. But if they make an interesting observation, they are able to establish an optical connection as large as 10 Gb/s on the fly that enables them to quickly transfer any additional data they may need from the central repository at the CERN European nuclear research organization in Geneva.
