"When the explorer is ready the guide will appear."-- Himalayan Saying

(Reference from EVL at UIC)

The Scope of the Internet2 Health Science Workgroup includes clinical practice, medical and related biological research, education, and medical awareness in the Public.

With an Emphasis On:Medical applications on the Internet.Development of application tools to take advantage of Internet2 advanced network services. Leverage and influence Internet2 resources to apply solutions to the medical domain. Inform the medical community of these activities.

Goals and ObjectivesFocus on research partnerships for advanced applicationsEnhance collaboration and information sharingDevelopment of demonstrations and toolsCooperate on standards to maintain global interoperability

Enigma Machine and BombeArmed forces have always been dependent on communications. During World War II, the German Army and Navy tried to keep their communications secret by using encryption devices called Enigma machines. These sophisticated coding devices could generate over 1 trillion different coding patterns. The Germans believed they were too sophisticated for Allied forces to break them. But in one of the best-kept secrets of the war, first the Poles, and later the British and Americans succeeded in deciphering messages. The wooden device in the foreground is a 4 rotor German Enigma machine, used for encoding. The large machine in the background is a "Bombe," used for breaking the code. Working out the details of codebreaking machines was one of the developments that fostered electronic computers. Smithsonian Photo by Laurie Minor-Penland.
