GEON Project Milestones
• Based on scientific needs
• Flexible to accommodate fast changing
technology
• 2nd year goals were accomplished: (functioning
grid, data registration systems, prototype
computational grid applications, mapping, and
data analysis, educational initiatives)
• 3rd, 4th and 5th years will leverage the existing
infrastructure and populate the grid with rich data
sets and develop integration tools to enable new
scientific discoveries
