Welcome

Dear Colleagues,
 
On behalf of the State of Indiana and the two universities that made the I-Light network possible, we welcome you to the I-Light Applications Workshop 2002.  This event provides an occasion for us to explore opportunities for collaboration, research, and scholarship using the I-Light Optical Fiber Infrastructure.  I-Light is a unique, high-speed network connecting Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and Purdue University with each other and with Abilene, the national high-speed Internet2 research and education network.
 
The workshop will feature demonstrations and presentations by researchers and information technologists from our campuses concerning some of the advances in IT and science already made possible by I-Light.  Information will also be shared regarding the use of the I-Light network for applications in advanced computing, visualization, and collaboration.  This workshop will provide interesting, important, and timely information about ways that the I-Light networking environment can enrich research programs in a wide variety of disciplines
 
We are particularly honored to have Larry Smarr as keynote speaker at this applications workshop. 
 
Larry Smarr was the founding Director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), Director of the National Computational Science Alliance, and is the founding Institute Director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology.
 
We look forward to a productive and educational time together.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
James Bottum
Vice President for Information Technology and CIO
Purdue University
