- Internet2 Overview,
- An overview of the Internet2 Project, covering the objectives, history and structure of the project; innovative applications that will make a qualitative difference in research, teaching, learning, and clinical environment; and a description of the physical networks. These networks connect over 100 higher education institutions in the U.S. and provide links to other research and education networks around the world. Innovations underway within the network infrastructure include providing quality of service, multicast, IPv6, middleware (e.g., security and directories), and advanced measurement techniques for network and applications performance.

- Remote Experimentation Involving Mass Spectrometers,
- Ubiquitous high-speed network connectivity can allow researchers to share costly state-of-the-art equipment without traveling to the equipment itself. This demonstration shows an off-site researcher controlling a Bruker mass spectrometer housed in a UD lab, viewing the results, and searching a network-accessible protein database for a match.

- Motion and Structure Analysis of 2D Satellite Cloud Image Sequences,
- Image sequences captured through meteorological satellites are used to estimate cloud-top heights (structure) and winds (motion). Some of the potential applications in earth and space sciences, especially in cloud models for weather prediction, are demonstrated. The talk will utilize the Interactive Image SpreadSheet, a highly interactive visualization and analysis tool which combines a traditional spreadsheet paradigm with image processing and visualization functionality.

Enabling Rehearsals Among Geographically
Distant Musicians with MPEG-2 Encoding,
Lloyd C Shorter, Dept of Music, UD, Felicia Moye and Brian Shepard, School of Music, Univ of Oklahoma - The advent of Internet2 and MPEG-2 video and sound compression by Litton Network Access System's CAMVision-2 codec system enable near-simultaneous rehearsal capabilities to musicians in different cities. Although network and compression/decompression delays do not yet permit actual joint performances to occur, the technologies do allow many pre-performance preparations (decisions on phrasing, tempi, interpretation) to be worked out before meeting in person. This reduces time needed in the concert hall used for the final rehearsal.

- Predicting the Unpredictable,
- The future of networking is heavily dictated by both applications and technology. This talk will focus on the field-shifting technologies that are on the horizon, and will use these to project new applications for distributed systems.

- UD and Internet2: New Networking Initiatives,
- Discussion of plans for the comprehensive upgrade of the University's TCP/IP network and how this will impact on researchers' use of the Abilene network and other high-performance networks to which it is connected.
