ACHIEVEMENTS

• • High Energy Physics High Energy Physics (HEP) represents global collaboration research led by CERN in Switzerland, which owns the world’s largest large hadron collider (LHC). This co-research is joined by about 3,000 people from 38 countries. For connection between tier centers to transmit HEP data in a hierarchical manner, transmission/reception of experimental data and sharing of computational resources, KREONET and GLORIAD resource are essential.

• • ASTRONOMY & SPACE OBSERVATION Space observation equipment and astronomical data are big data which keep increasing according to observation time. The construction of environments in which such observation data can be transmitted and received in realtime in a stable manner is crucial in studies on celestial bodies and space. The transmission of observed data in realtime through KREONET and GLORIAD and stable observation equipment sharing environments make a contribution to the expansion of the scope of such studies and improvement of precision.

• • GENOME/BIO In a bio-sector, it is critical to quickly transmit and receive globally distributed data and store them into database as knowledge and information. Furthermore, joint research with global institutes and preparation of cyber research space are very important to keep research activities competitive. Data transmission through hyper-speed, high-tech research network, efficient use of computing resources and fast analysis of results would be international competitiveness in a bio-sector.

• • HIGH-TECH MEDICINE Current critical issues in a healthcare sector include cultivation of competent medical staff, expansion of the use of medical equipment & resources and telemedicine support on disadvantaged regions. In particular, realtime network connection in a stable fashion is essential in video-centered tele-laparoscopic surgery and medical robots where the transmission and precision of high-resolution image data from medical imaging and pathology are required. In tele-education, competent medical staff in capital regions and others and fair education are required. In terms of personnel exchange, multimedia-sharing technology such as multicast is needed for teleconference.

• • WEATHER/CLIMATE For accurate climate prediction and weather forecast under abnormal temperature and rapid climate changes, researchers need more observation data and climate information. For this, they should be fast connected with supercomputer-level massive computational resources. The exchange of climate information and data between Korea Meteorological Administration and international organization through KREONET and GLORIAD bring fast growth and development in climate and meteorological research sectors and improve the accuracy of weather forecast.

• • TELE-EDUCATION Tele-education has become more important, and its scope of use has further broadened in online environments. Under these circumstances, there has been a rising demand for the elimination of regional gap and balanced development. While more people take part in social activities and education, tele-education pursues two-way education which is more realistic than conventional one-way education. For this, the use of a research network designed for the realtime exchange of educational equipment and data through high-resolution images has become important.
    06 10
• • Construction Experiment KOCED For construction studies and education, large experimental facilities scattered across the country can be used in any places through KREONET. To share experimental data, equal and joint operation between colleges and research institutes are promoted. KOCED and high-tech research network plan linkage and cooperation with secondary experimental facilities as well as 6 primary experimental facilities. They target to build cyber environments for construction research activities.
    07 10
• • FUTURE NETWORKING Future networking which studies next-generation Internet technologies designs brand-new Internet which can overcome the limitations and problems of the current Internet services and experiment related technologies. It has built a testbed in which domestic researchers are able to participate in R&D activities anytime through the GENI, the US future Internet testbed connected with the GLORIAD. In addition, more diverse studies and tests are being promoted.
    08 10
• • SUPERCOMPUTING Recently, advanced countries have targeted to provide the best performances from supercomputing resources which have played a leading role in science technology. For this, they have worked hard to establish the resources and grounds to connect multiple supercomputers through a high-speed research network and jointly use them in science technology. South Korea has also developed a linkage and technical cooperation system for supercomputing resources scattered across the country through the joint use of supercomputing and helped regional centers become self-supported. In order for regional centers to grow into professional centers which dutifully play a regional center’s role and fulfill functions as a partner agency, in particular, connection with a high-quality research network and cooperation are required.

• • BIG DATA CONVERGENCE TECHNOLOGY The convergence of big data and multiple technologies is a critical sector which sets a future direction for technology development, not just use of data. It builds more efficient environments for researchers to get access to data by converging future technologies such as virtual environments and realistic interaction environment technology. KREONET supports networking technologies and systems which overcome physical distance and problems which can occur during traffic transmission such as delay and decrease in quality by expanding conventional networking technology used in sending HD/4K media.
