2.2 Description
We have built dedicated R&D networks and been working on development and experiment of on-line conferencing systems over high-speed Internet. Based on this research result, we are going to do joint research among Japan, Korea and Singapore to build a distributed, scalable on-line conferencing system among researchers over Asia-Pacific region as well as doing research and experiment on signaling, H.323 and IP multicasting, IPv6, QOS, scalability, and high-quality video transmission (MPEG2 and Degital Video) of on-line conferencing system.
2.3 Expected Result
Unlike an existing system over ATM and one for specific few participating points, this is a mega-conference over Internet for more than a thandand participants. This aims to develop scalable middleware and conferencing applications that have even been unable with the existing technology. The development considers anycast, dynamic multicast, and static multicast to connect those domains. Mega-conference projects have been working in North America and Europe, so we develop a mega-conference system for researchers first, then spread it over Asia-Pasific region, and connect it with ones in the other regions to contribute for building the world-wide on-line collaborative R&D environment. The system will be a part of Genkai/Hyoenhae Project and act as a platform to support international joint research over the international connections.

There have been a lot of cultural interaction between Korea and Japan for a long time. In each country, there are various cultural, artistic, and historical materials related to both Korea and Japan. There should be various potential applications related to such materials. Utilizing high-speed low-latency network between Korea and Japan, we research the way to support: * museum-related international research activities, and cooperate with such projects (i.e. Digital Heritage Exchange project at KIST) * Exchanging virtual representations of various cultural assets and heritages, and delivering them to network users. * Building networked virtual museum based on the Access GRID concept, considering the standardization of data format of cultural heritage. * Cooperative works through a shared virtual space. * The prospective assets and network contents include "Chosen Tuushinshi", "Ri-chou Byoubu", contents of Shilla Dynasty, etc. by constructing practical and experimental environments over the KJCN.
5.3 Expected Results
* Revealing technical problems of constructing applications to support museum-related activities over the international high-speed link.
* Contribute cultural interaction between Korea and Japan in the Internet age, and promote public users' interest in these issues.
* Support research activities between Korean and Japanese museums.
5.4 Required Bandwidth

7.2. Description
Genkai/Hyoenhae Project aims to connect research networks between Japan and Korea. We build an international global IX across the both countries by implementing the connecting part at the layer two (ex. Gigabit ethernet) and do development and experiment of global routing, optimizing routes over the regions, and routing management system for IX. Development of measurement and monitoring systems based on routing information are also included.
7.3 Expected Result
Unlike domestic or regional IXes, an international global IX aims to exchange traffic beyond borders. Assuming inter-connecting top-level networks (tier-1), we develop technologies required for implementing a scalable IX, experiment it as a part of Genkai / Hyoenhae Project, and explore issues and solutions toward placing an international IX spreading over Japan and Korea.

8.1 Participants:
Japan:Motohiro_Ishii/QIC Shigeki_Matsuzaki/QTNet(tentative)
Korea:Jaehwa Lee/KT(tentative)
8.2 Description:
Very Long haul Networks have been constructed by using optical transmission systems and switchies like SDH/SONET/ATM so far and include repeaters in general. These technologies have been mainly used by Telecom carriers because of it's High-Speed and Reliable capability,but are very expensive. On the other hand The KJCN connects approximately 250km distance between Korea and Japan without repeater. So we propose Ethernet-based Long-haul Network from Kyushu to Busan via KJCN. Bacause Ethernet is reasonable. However Ethernet has no automatic protection capability like SDH/SONET.So we will develop something like that for Ethernet( e.g. High Speed Link Protection system by using GMPLS technology) and measure basic characteristics of it.
8.3 Expected result:
It expected to contribute developing something new application and spread of it by this Low cost Reliable Long-haul Network.

10.2 Description
The initial idea of the bandwidth of Genkai is the Gigabit class. At the
legacy bandwidth, the packet sampling methog was not the matter but now,
this is the matter. In this project, it is the object to devlop and
deploy the measuremnet technology on the gigabit class.
To get the packet on the backbone, the fiber tapping has to be done.
CAIDA developed the GigEmon. Dr. Kobayashi developed the such fiber
tapping individually, too. One of these 2 boxes will be installed on the
network to capture "whole" the traffic. The packet sampling rate is now
under discussion at psamp(IETF). This test bed is the good place to
contribute the implementation test of the internet-drafts. flow
correction will show one of the characteristics of the network. The best
way to correct the flow on the backbone is to get the flow from the
route with using the cflowd. Even in such case, the packet sampling rate
is the critical issue.
This project will challenge to get the statistics of the traffic and
will scope on the routing information.
10.3 Expected Results
The activity of this project will contribute the activity of
psamp(IETF). packet sampling technology, flow measurement, routing
information collection, optimiizing the least cost route will be
developed and deployed by this project for the G-H backbone.
10.4 Rquired Bandwidth
It depends on the design of the measuremet infrastructure. In case we
think of data transferrung, 1Gbps is needed. Unless there's the
measurement data transferring, the bandwidth is 1Mbps.

11.2 Description
In the High Energy Physics experiments (Belle and K2K) being carried at KEK are participaing more than 40 Korean physicists and students. Details of participants can be found in the http://bsunsrv1.kek.jp/belle/current_member.html These experiments produce more than 50 Terabytes per year and simultated data of size of about three times. Korean participants would like to analyze the data and contribute to the experimental groups by sharing with off-line processing of the data for reconstruction and providing the collaboration with significant amount of simulated data produced with CPUs in Korea, especially at the Center for High Energy Physics of the Kyungpook National Univerisity, which are the national research center for Korean HEP. The CHEP will host a Data Center for the experiments and the data will be available to all the participants inside Korea. The availability may be easily extended to the Japanese collaborators if we adopt the Grid technology. Transporting real and simulated data between KEK and the CHEP are in this sense necessary. Since the network connections to CHEP from the KOREN is now GbE and the connections from CHEP to the participating Korean universities are also very high speed, mostly connected by the KOREN, which will be upgraded to the GbE level soon. The data will be transported from KEK to Korea via Super SINET inside Japan and then via the this GbE. Then Inside Korea the data will be tranported to CHEP and redistributed among participating universities. Beside these primary goals, we would like to utilize the network for Videoconferencing and tests of HEP Data Grid Projects between Japan and Korea, and among many international GRID participants around the world.
11.3 Expected Results
* The collaboration in Physics will be more pronounced in the physics outputs.
* The usage and test of Network upto the full capacity and limit of very wide bandwidth network will be extremely important for developing the edge-technology in networking.
* New technology in Data Grid can be tested internationally and can be implemented between two countries and futher among continents, if high speed network is proven.
* The succssful operation between Japan and Korea will be a prototype of very large HEP collaborations all over the world.
11.4 Required Bandwidth
For Japan-Korea specific traffic for the two experiments we need 400 Mbps at least and very desirable if we have 2.4 Gbs~10 Gbps bandwidth considering all HEP Data Grid activities interwoven around the world by 2006.
12. Title of the project:
- Aerodynamic design optimization using genetic algorithm in high throughput Grid computing environment
Status 1
Contact: OH Byeon(KISTI)
12.1 Participants:
- Kum Won Cho, Chun-ho Sung, Jysoo Lee (KISTI)
- Yoshio Tanaka , Hidemoto Nakada (AIST)
12.2 Discription
Aerodynamic design optimization can be achieved through iteration of two basic steps:
(1) performance evaluation of trial solutions, and
(2) generation of new trial solutions based on #1. During the first step, the computation necessary for the evaluation of a trial solution is totally independent of other trial solutions, which makes the present problem ideal for a high throughput Grid environment. Several technologies, such as global queuing system, RPC will be used for the construction of high throughput Grids. Genetic algorithm will be used in the generation of new trial solutions (the second step).
12.3 Expected results
Design in high throughput Grid environment is not limited to aerodynamics, but can be extended to many other problems. It is a Grid application which can be applied to real problems without significant modification.
12.4 Required Bandwidth

13.1 Participants
- Jysoo Lee (KISTI)
- Yoshio Tanaka (AIST)
13.2 Description
Typical biopolymer is a linear molecule consists of many (more than 1000) atoms. An atom in a biopolymer is interacting with atoms in other nearby molecules as well as other atoms in the biopolymer. Realistic simulation of a system consists of many biopolymers is very difficult, since it requires huge computational time and memory. However, such simulations are essential in designing of new drugs as well as for the understanding of their behaviors. We propose to carry out the simulation of such systems by connecting together computational resources (e.g., high performance clusters) of Korea and Japan making high capacity Grid environment.
13.3 Expected results
It is a typical large simulation with short-range interaction. The data generated from the project will be used to understand the performance and bottlenecks of similar problems. It is also expected to contribute to the understanding of the behavior of biopolymers such as protein.

19.2 Description:
Surgery has been revolutionized by endoscopy during these 10 years. Conventional surgery was replaced by endoscopic surgery for many kinds of diseases. Because an endoscope and other surgical instruments can be inserted through small 1cm incisions, patients enjoy less pain, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay in addition to cosmetic benefits. Although new techniques of this "patient-friendly" treatment have subsequently been developed in Japan, these advanced surgery is still performed in limited institutions and practical operative procedures are not truely open to public. Korea has just started these minimally invasive surgery and seeking as much information as possible. Our goal is to establish an international real-time broadcast of endoscopic surgery via Korea-Japan Cable Network to improve the efficacy and productivity of endoscopic surgery in Korea. Approximately 10, 000 cases of endoscopic examinations are annually performed in our hospital and the number of advanced endoscopic surgery are dramatically increased each year. We have already set up the network system in the newly-opened university hospital, where surgical visual equipments are connected to the intrahospital network via two-channel movie distributing devices and via picture storage computer. Any video images of endoscopic surgery could be seen real-time on personal computers of physician's office in the hospital at mean speed over 20 frames per second. The pictures taken during surgery were stored at the same time in the server computer, to which surgeons could access after surgery for writing operation records.
19.3 Expected results:
(1) It was impossible to send any movies outside the hospital including Korea because of low capacity of the internet. With this Genkai Network between Fukuoka and Korea, data transmission with high resolution, high speed and multiple channels will be possible, all of which are inevitable factors for the medical purposes. We will be able to provide new surgical techniques on a daily basis to Korea just by one click. Really practical skills can never be obtained by using edited videos or textbooks, and it is actually impossible for the medical staff to find time to visit other hospitals to learn new surgery.
(2) Although video-ditributing system is at work in our hospital, screen size is still small (360 X 243 pixels) and frame rate gets sluggish when used on multi-channel. Full size screen is important during surgery to recognize precise anatomy and mutil-channnel video is inevitable to send endoscopic movies together with demonstration of hand maneuver or on-site explanation. This new network can solve these problems and surely can contribute to facilitate the progress of advanced surgery in Korea. 3. Our project can be a model of e-learning between two countries. We hope that many other contents will follow us in both medical and other fields to promote further friendship through academic as well as cultural exchange.
