INTERWORKING 2008: Future Internet 9th International
Conference on Interworking hosted at Florida International
University on December 1-2, 2008 by Florida International
University’s Center for Internet Augmented Research
and Assessment (CIARA), the University of California,
San Diego (UCSD), and the European Commission FP7-Future
Internet Projects. Interworking 2008 will be the ninth
event in the INTERWORKING series of bi-annual symposiums. The
chosen theme “Future Internet” will discuss
providing end-to-end communications, independent of location,
time and underlying network and heterogeneous infrastructure.
The symposium will seek to explore Future Internet technology
trends in providing cost-effective services with extended
features of QoS, security and mobility with reliability. For

Ultralight / PLaNetS Tutorial Workshop will be held on
December 1-2, 2008 and hosted by Florida International
University. The purpose of the tutorial in Education
and Outreach is to disseminate the capabilities and use
of the PLaNetS services to support LHC data analysis
and other applications. The Tutorial is aimed at undergraduate
physics and computer science students with some physics
course background and programming experience especially
C++. This is a good tutorial for graduate students
and staff helping with CMS data management as well. There
are 50 slots available, half of which are targeted at
FIU and the southeast. Several slots are reserved for
Brazilian students and the rest are open to students
anywhere in the U.S. Please submit 200 words explaining
your interest in attending the tutorial and qualifications
via the web link (TBD). There is some modest travel and
lodging support available.
January 20-22, 2009
The 2009 EduCause Learning Initiative Annual Meeting, Participation
and Collaboration: Social Learning for the 21st Century,
to explore processes and practices focused on social learning
and student success. In the ELI tradition, the annual meeting
is a setting for interactive, hands-on learning and networking,
with a variety of presentations, discussions, and workshops.
Sessions will fall into one of three interest areas: learners,
learning principles and practices, and learning technologies.
The Meeting will be held in the Caribe Royale Hotel and
Conference Center, Orlando, Florida on January 20-22, 2009.

Dr. Heidi Alvarez's CTU Presentation here
Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) in association
with the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses
Registry (LACNIC) host the 4th Caribbean Internet Governance
Forum Implementing the Caribbean Internet Governance
Agenda: From Proposal to Policy in Curacao, Netherlands
Antilles, July 23-24, 2008.. Heidi Alvarez was invited
to present on the Internet2 evolution and AMPATH – the
high performance exchange point in Florida which is facilitating
peering and network research between education and research
institutions. A presentation on this topic would be of
particular interest to the Caribbean Knowledge and Learning
Network delegates and serve to sensitize delegates on
the value of research and education networking. For more

Research on biological
diversity is a global and cyberinfrastructure-enabled science.
The evolutionary origin of biological diversity and ecological
processes that maintain it are active areas of research
involving thousands of scientists worldwide. The outputs
of those systematics and ecological investigations inform
conservation management, government policy and civil society
on the most important environmental phenomena in the history
of mankind—the impacts resulting from
the transformation of speciose natural systems into species-poor,
managed ones. (visit) |

Biodiversity informatics is an interdisciplinary research and infrastructure development activity. It thrives on collaborations among environmental biologists, computer scientists, and network and software engineers. As environmental biology becomes increasingly data-driven, the nature of international collaborations in biodiversity will evolve to include more network-based interactions and communications. Expectations for essentially instantaneous access to data sets and to computational tools and services, will change the timing and logistics of collaborative work. The workshop examined trends where cyberinfrastructure is likely to effect change in biodiversity research informatics. (visit) |

Networking experts from China and the United States gather annually at the Chinese - American Networking Symposium (CANS) to discuss new ideas and advancements in networking technologies. The annual programs, alternately held in the USA and China, include presentations by networking experts, panel discussions, and technical breakout sessions. (visit site) |

The Pan American Studies Institute on Advanced Networking Technologies for E-Science was favorably reviewed and funded by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering. The intellectual merit is that anew bridge between astronomy, physics and the advanced networking community will be created, fostering new discoveries. The PASI will not be a locus for fundamental research; rather it will incubate a new generation of scientists and engineers who are capable of fully integrating advanced networking into astronomy and physics research and education. |

The SC2004 conference will bring representatives from many technical communities together to exchange ideas, celebrate past successes and plan for the future. To reflect this important function, the conference theme is Bridging Communities, which represents not only the technical communities participating in the conference but the architecture of the city, too. |
