Featured presenters
McGill abstract:
Internet2 was created as a membership organization to develop and exploit a next generation internet. Since its inception Internet2’s members have come together to create tools and applications that were very difficult or impossible prior to the existence of this advanced resource. Technical challenges as well as policy and accessibility have and continued to be successfully addressed as its members use Internet2 both as a technical resource and a meeting ground to address common challenges.
This presentation will examine internet2 and some of the applications with an emphasis on the Health Science applications. These applications have been shown to be of immediate value to the Research and Education communities but are increasingly being evaluated and used by advanced clinical applications. Two examples of the value of networking are represented in the following presentations. View McGill Slides.

Senger Abstract:
Since 1999, the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse has been collaborating with the SUMMIT group at the Stanford University Medical School on a project funded by the National Library of Medicine initiative to develop applications of the Next Generation Internet. The goal of this initiative is to demonstrate applications that require quality-of-service levels not attainable through the commercial internet and to help define the characteristics required of a next generation internet.
The project has focused on applications that support medical education. The University of Wisconsin - La Crosse has been responsible for developing applications that support anatomical education as well as critical middleware components.

Harnett Abstract:
Providing surgeons the ability to mentor and perform procedures from remote locations will have a profound impact on the quality and type of care provided to soldiers on the battlefield, astronauts in space and even patients in remote terrestrial locations. To date, remote robotic telesurgery using monoscopic vision has been performed clinically with the Zeus robot over a dedicated commercial network. The daVinci Surgical System is currently the only clinically supported surgical robotic system, but has yet to be used to perform telesurgery. In cooperation with our partners, we developed a telesurgical daVinci system capable of transcontinental stereoscopic robotic surgical intervention.
In this initial case, telesurgery was successfully performed over standard Internet links at ~10Mbps with no Quality of Service. The end-to-end quality of the network remains a primary concern with regard to ultimate clinical use. Internet2 could provide the network capability - in terms of image fidelity, decreased latency, jitter and packet loss - for robust clinical use. Current research and opportunities to explore use of advanced networks such as Internet2 will be discussed. View Harnett slides.
