About
Access Grid
The
Access Grid™ is an ensemble of resources
including multimedia large-format displays,
presentation and interactive environments, and interfaces
to Grid middleware and to visualization environments.
These resources are used to support
group-to-group interactions across the Grid.
For example, the Access Grid (AG) is used for
large-scale distributed meetings, collaborative work sessions,
seminars, lectures, tutorials, and training. The Access Grid
thus differs from desktop-to-desktop
tools that focus on individual communication.
The
Access Grid is now used at over 200 institutions worldwide.
Each institution has one or more AG nodes, or "designed
spaces," that contain the high-end audio and visual
technology needed to provide a high-quality compelling
user experience. The nodes are also used as a research
environment for the development of
distributed data and visualization corridors and for the
study of issues relating to collaborative work in distributed
environments.
The AG technology was developed by the Futures Laboratory
at Argonne National Laboratory and is deployed by the NCSA
PACI Alliance.
Setting up the First AG node in Singapore
Over
200 access grid nodes around the world are collaborating
using the AG technology. In December 2003, the first advanced
AG node was set up in Singapore.
The
design considerations for this AG node recognises it
to bemobile and an all-in-one machine configuration.
The
objective is for this mobile AG node to be deployable to
any site to AG-enable any talk, seminar or conference.
* The Access Grid 2.0 reference platform defines an advanced
node as one which has tiled displays, and provisions for
multiple video streams and a localized audio.
Launch
of AG
The
Access Grid node was launched on the 2 April 2004 when
Professor Carole Goble (University of Manchester)
presented on the myGrid UK e-Science project. This session
was held at the auditorium of the Institute for Infocomm
Research and drew a crowd
of close to 100 attendees. This was part of the pre-symposium
activities of the Life Sciences Virtual Grid Community
Symposium 2004.
Other Efforts
The National Grid Office extends the use of the AG node
to the NGPP stakeholders, with the goal of using AG to
enable international collaborations, and broadcast of important
events such as keynotes speeches of international conferences.
In
addition, the National Grid Competency Centre conducts
training courses on “Setting up of an AG node” to
provide information on AG as well as to equip them with
the necessary skills to set up their own AG node.
Since
then, there are 4 other AG nodes in Singapore. These
include the Institute for High Performance
Computing, the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology,
and the Nanyang Technological University (2 nodes). The
NGO has also established an AG Special Interest Group
(SIG) for the local AG community to share and discuss
on setup, pertinent issues, future plans, and align the
efforts
with the direction of AG for Singapore.
