Attributes of Advanced Apps
Provide qualitative and quantitative improvements in how we conduct research and engage in teaching and learning
Common attributes:
Remote instrumentation and interactive collaboration
Distributed data storage and data mining
Large-scale, multi-site computation
Real-time access to remote resources
Dynamic data visualization
Shared virtual reality

Application Evolution
Application communities evolve over time to address changing needs, goals and technology
Program Managers connect communities to work being done in other areas
International Collaboration, Security, Protocol development, device optimization
What we do not do
Run your project
Lay wires, write code, etc.

Before we begin
A reminder we will have a Q&A session after the talks have concluded.  There are three methods to get questions to the speakers:
If you are using the Internet2 Commons, you can ask questions interactively at the end of the session.
Questions can be sent via email to:

Slide 10

Transitions
Charles will pass camera control at the end of his introduction to Alan at Haystack.
When Alan is done, he will (presumably) introduce David and slide over 2 feet.
When David is done:
Thank you for your time.  I would now like to introduce Shawn McKee who is in Ann Arbor.  Shawn will talk about the ways in which the physics community is using advanced networks.
When Shawn is done:
Thank you for your time.  Tom Finholt is here with me in Ann Arbor and will now talk about his work with the NEES collaboratory.
When Tom is done:
Thank you for your time.  I would like to return to Charles who will take us into the Question and Answer period.
