Background Workshops

DOE Office of Science has conducted a series of workshops that identified the networking requirements and challenges of large-scale scientific applications. UltraScince Network project is motivated by a number of conclusions reached at these workshops:

• High-Performance Network Planning Workshop, August 13-15, 2002.
• A roadmap for DOE networking is formulated at the following workshop:DOE Science Networking Workshop, June 3-5, 2003.
• DOE Workshop on High-Speed Transport Protocols and Dynamic Provisioning for Large-Scale Science Applications, April 10-11, 2003
