Description

SIG-NGN will be holding its 11th meeting as a in person workshop on Thursday, 20 April 2023. The meeting will be hosted jointly with the LHCONE meeting in Prague, Czech Republic. The theme for this meeting will be "Large science experiments and networking futures". We will have invited speakers representing some of the largest science communities, including HEP, SKA , DOE, presenting their future vision and requirements. As well, networking experts from the NREN community will present current and future network capabilities. The workshop will conclude with a discussion group to try and map requirements and capabilities, with a goal to leave both scientists and network engineers better informed about the future. Which is always bright.

  Big science user requirements I
  
  This session will discuss the network capacity requirements of big science users and how these requirements are evolving as scientific research becomes increasingly data-intensive.
  
  Host: Edoardo Martelli (CERN)
  
  SKA - Rosie Bolton (SKA) '25
  ITER - Peter Kroul (ITER) '25
  HL-LHC dataflows: An experiment view - Mario Lassnig (CERN)'25
  The LHC experiments are facing a ten-fold increase in throughput requirements for the High-Luminosity upgrade. In addition, the
  complexity of dataflows is ever evolving, pushing the boundaries of our infrastructure. In this talk, we highlight important use cases shared by the LHC experiments, and delve deeper into the specific needs of the ATLAS Experiment.

  Big science user requirements II
  
  Host: Rudolf Vohnout (CESNET)
  
  Computing Models for Processing Streaming Data from DOE Science - Graham Heyes (Jefferson Lab) '25
  Graham Heyes is the head of the Scientific Computing Department at Jefferson Lab. He was also the lead of the laboratory’s Data Acquisition Support Group. His current research interest is streaming data acquisition and analysis. This talk will explore what that is, and computing models, both hardware and software, that are appropriate for streaming data.
  
  Integrated Research Infrastructure - A DOE ASCR Initiative to
  Accelerate Science - Chin Guok (ESnet) '25
  DOE ASCR has been championing the Integrate Research Infrastructure initiative, which is to enable highly coordinated, collaborative research and integrating capabilities across DOE’s
  world-leading facilities. This initiative has the potential to drive DOE's funding and direction in the next decade.
