SIG-NGN: Large science experiments and networking futures

Introduction and welcome by Edoardo Martelli (CERN) - SIG-NGN Steering Committee

The session will discuss the services and infrastructure provided by R&E networks, how they support big science users and their needs of large data transfers, and future plans of R&E Networks.

Host: Mian Usman (GÉANT)

GÉANT - Bram Peeters (GÉANT) - '15
IPv6 traffic - Bruno Hoeft (KIT) '15
PerfSONAR - Lætitia A Delvaux (PSNC) '15
SURF - Alexander van den Hill (SURF) - '10
Internet2 - Chris Wilkinson (Internet2) - '10
Q&A discussion - '15

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.

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.
