HPWREN and International Collaborations

Peter ArzbergerPhilip Papadopoulos

HPWREN Annual Users Meeting

How can we work together?

Observations• HPWREN:

– Forefront of deploying wireless infrastructure– Applications drivers and diversity– Model of interdisciplinary collaborations– CONGRATULATIONS!

• Wireless is an extension of Cyberinfrastructure:– “Sensors and sensor nets are where much development will take

place in CI”• International Partnerships

– Enrich activities– Provide other resources (hardware, middleware, expertise)– Required for many problems (environment)

Examples of International Activities

• Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly: PRAGMA– www.pragma-grid.net

• Pacific Rim Undergraduate Experiences: PRIME– prime.ucsd.edu

• Environmental Sensor Networks for Research and Education: – Building capacity in the lake and coral reef scientific

communities– Building towards a global network for lakes and coral

reefs– lakemetabolism.org

PRAGMA’s Founding Motivations

• The grid is transforming computing and collaboration

• The problem remains that the grid is too hard to use

• Middleware software needs to interoperate

• Science is an intrinsically global activityIVOA

Overarching GoalsEstablish sustained collaborations

andAdvance the use of the grid technologies for

applications among a community of investigators working

with leading institutions around the Pacific Rim

PRAGMA

Working closely with established activities that promote grid activities or the underlying infrastructure,

both in the Pacific Rim and globally.

• Wireless Infrastructure in the Amazon• Sensor nets: CENS• Secure data infrastructure: ROADNET• Web Services• Web Services to the Sensor (Common

Instrument Middleware Architecture)• Data Integration

Tools Developed at NCHC

• Video Streaming – Tiled display• Sensor Net Engine• Content Based Image Retrieval

– Query by Feature• Motion Detection

Suggestions for Working Together• Participate in each others meetings

– PRAGMA’s Ecogrid working group! – Global Lake Observatory for Research and Education

• Exchange staff or students– Transfer technologies– Build ties between researchers

• Create “network” of different wireless systems– Test new technologies or capture different measurements

• Create forum for information exchange– Lessons learned from wireless networking– Value of wireless to applications (what could not have been

achieved any other way)

Start small – build trustStay concrete – build infrastructure

Focus on people – build a community
