GLORIAD – The Global Ring Network
for Advanced Application Development
–
A network interconnecting the Global Scientific & University Community
–
Scientists and engineers collaborate and conduct research in ways unimagined only a few years ago
–
Bandwidth sufficient to transmit entire libraries of information in seconds – or permit thousands of
simultaneous video-conferences, 10X – 1000X of commercial Internet
–
Millions of scientists, educators, policy makers, artists, and students: working together, sharing resources,
data and experiences
–
A stable means of facilitating dialog and increased cooperation between nations
