A PRAGMA-OptIPlanet Collaboratory Partnership
The document discusses the NSF-funded Optiputer project and its role in facilitating high-speed optical connections for global scientific collaboration via large-scale visualization walls called 'optiportals.' In 2008, various national and international sites are set to connect their optiportals, enabling advanced applications in fields like microbial metagenomics and coral reef observation. Middleware challenges and partnership opportunities are highlighted to foster rapid global cooperation on critical issues, leveraging technologies like cloud computing and enhanced visualization techniques.
