New Public-Private Partnership: IEEAF
• The Internet Educational Equal Access Foundation
(IEEAF) is a partnership between the Research
and Education Community and the Private Sector
whose goal is to obtain donations of international
bandwidth to enable a global collaboration in
research and education.
• Current donations have already linked US and
Europe, and are now linking US and Asia-Pacific.
• This bandwidth helps enable global collaborations
in research and education, in the true spirit of the
Global Quilt Initiative.2

More Donations Pending
• The IEEAF is currently in negotiations for 44
pending donations that may potentially double the
size of the Global Quilt Initiative.
• Negotiations for donations in Eastern Europe as
well as the Scandinavian countries, to India and
Africa are being supported by a global community
of Research and Education Visionaries.

Partnerships Create Donations
• We’re here to help any community trying to establish
educational networks
• We’re successful because of the partnerships with
leaders who share our vision
• WIDE and Jun Murai
• NTT and Suzuki-san
• GEO and Ed Fantegrossi
• It’s the partnerships that make it happen. Joining
hands completes the ring…..
• A network of networks....
• Community to community and village to village...

New Paradigms Possible
• New Conditions for Globalization: increasingly
pervasive eScience needs; political; financial;
legal/regulatory
• New Technologies enable new options for shared
infrastructure:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Computing clusters
Databases and Digital Libraries
Instruments, Facilities
People, Training
LambdaGrid (Optical Networking)
Global CyberInfrastructure
• New Relationships: multidisciplinary, multi-agency,
multi-institutional collaboration
on global basis

e-Science and the Grid
‘e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of
science, and the next generation of infrastructure
that will enable it.
‘e-Science will change the dynamic of the way science
is undertaken.’
John Taylor, 2001
Director General of Research Councils
Office of Science and Technology
United Kingdom

The Grid as an Enabler for Virtual Organizations
• ‘The Grid is a software infrastructure that
enables flexible, secure, coordinated
resource sharing among dynamic collections
of individuals, institutions and resources’
- includes computational systems and data
storage resources and specialized facilities
• Enabling infrastructure for transient ‘Virtual
Organizations’
9
Challenge of the Grid for Economies in Transition
• eScience projects use Clusters, Supercomputers, Data
Repositories and Remote Facilities
• e-Science will produce a deluge of scientific data needing ‘curation’ in
scientific data ‘digital libraries’
• Requires Investment in Infrastructure for eScience
• Maximize benefits of good universities and highly educated
communities and retain skilled staff
• Provide ITC infrastructure for research communities to compete and
collaborate globally
• Enable growth of eBusiness, eHealth, eLearning, eContent
and eGovernment
• Universities must provide the seed corn for the companies of the future
• Economic growth will be fueled by new forms of eUtility businesses

Goal: Pervasive Global Cyber-Infrastructure
Advanced networking enables: science drives development for society
which drives commerce….
Society changes at the edges when science enables…..
In the developing world, there are many sophisticated, knowledgeable
research institutions that have been hampered,
bright people trying to do bright things, but achievements are limited
because of resources/infrastructure.
Realizing the benefits of these developments for all of society, and
creating a sustainable cycle of innovation compels us
TO CLOSE the DIGITAL DIVIDE
Cutting edge “older brothers” are helping
IEEAF – seeks to enable science to help create new directions and
opportunities, new dynamics for donations, new infrastructure.

New Technologies,
Stewardship and e-Inclusion
• Access to and development of leading
infrastructures and new classes of informationrich systems carries obligations
• Stewardship
• Playing a leading role in making these assets
usable by a broad sector of the World
Community.
13
IEEAF Partnership with WIDE
• WIDE and Jun Murai Asset Steward of IEEAF Trans-Pacific
Link from Seattle to Tokyo
• IEEAF Board Resolution: 18 April 2004:
It is therefore RESOLVED, that the IEEAF appoints Jun Murai
as the IEEAF sponsored facilitator in working with Asia Pacific
countries such that prudent strategies are advanced to secure
and leverage network-related assets, and to capitalize on
events associated with the build-out of the global submarine
and terrestrial fiber optic networks within the Asia Pacific
region.
14
IEEAF Partnership with WIDE
• It is with great pride that IEEAF recognizes
Jun Murai’s vision of a Global Research
Fraternity.
• Two visions have joined as one vision… it only
occurs when both parties see the same end in
sight.
• WIDE and IEEAF share this common
philosophy for the world.

Asia Opportunities
• How Asia can benefit from IEEAF
• APAN - WIDE and IEEAF participation

IEEAF Vision: The Global Quilt
A Network of Networks, “stitched together” to
create a common single fabric, and shared
equally by all. This will be achieved through
collaboration and community effort, until it
covers the globe.
The IEEAF has no boundaries of “home”
territory…..
"Non Nobis Solo"
(Not by ourselves alone)

THE
GLOBAL
QUILT
INITIATIVE
The Global Quilt Initiative
The diverse national and regional Research
and Education networks around the world
can be represented as individually designed
fabric patches, each with unique entities,
serving a locally diverse and significant
collection of research and educational
entities, and each with a desire for
international cooperation.
The Global Quilt Initiative is the piecing
together of these wonderful patches into an
equally owned and equally shared Global
Quilt Lambda Grid.

• WIDE and IEEAF join today with a Select Group of Key
Industry Visionaries represented by Suzuki-san .NTT.
• These “visionaries’ donations and support” have
enabled WIDE’s Tokyo Lambda Exchange project for
Japan, and further empowered WIDE’s collaboration
with IEEAF on the Global Quilt Lambda Grid .
• Their donations and support, also represent a clear
investment in the future for Japan’s children toward a
global marketplace, unimpeded by distance, location, or
size.
22
eScience Applied… Becomes eCommerce
• The next generation Grid Collaborative applications will touch
almost every industry with new products, services and markets.
• Using Suzuki-sans’ distance medicine example, NTT will be able to
empower multinational customers in areas such as
Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, and “hybrid content services”,
like that of medical middleware
. These New “Research to commercial” application opportunities
are enabled by Broadband and the “Practice of Science,”
through Grid “Global Teaming”.
• Commercial opportunities will develop from Research Hospitals
globally linked to regional hospitals; and, hospital services
accessible from every home;
• Cost saving home services for the sick and “Quality of Life”
enhancements for our broadening elderly population. It is
“Science transfered into Commerce” from and to anywhere!
23
• This Global Quilt donation catalyst thereby
begins the change of conditions, to create the
“opportunity rich” world of tomorrow.
• In this Global Quilt grid infrastructure, the seeds
of socially responsible donations and support
grow into new history setting commercial
opportunities for economic prosperity.
