GCB REU Phase I Report

The Global CyberBridges project has established a tradition of working with REU students since it began in 2006 either directly through REU supplement support or indirectly through opening a mentoring channel within Florida International University (FIU) or by leveraging other programmatic funding such as the PIRE award.

Now, we have two REU students working on distributed collaborative research teams of graduate students, each lead by an FIU GCB fellow graduate student. The two students, Jonatan Gonzalez and Roberto Pereira working on Financial Derivatives and PRIME projects respectively. The REU students presented their accomplishment in their project during Phase I to Heidi Alvarez, Julio Ibarra and Masoud Sadjadi on 12/10/2009.

GCB -Calit2 Summer Workshop

The GCB international program is comprised of a series of geographically distributed projects each supported for a one year period with the goal of having the graduate students and their faculty advisors adopt longer term collaborative strategies. There is a technology transfer relationship between FIU and Calit2 at UCSD in order to realize the vision of team science at all levels of graduate and post-graduate education and research. Calit2 has worked with GCB to move collaborative and visualization tools developed by OptIPuter into a production mode. Now we are able to incorporate both a graduate student project and a summer workshop for GCB students at Calit2.

When: June 30th - July 2nd, 2009

Where: UCSD in La Jolla, California.

More Information on Calit2 Student Summer Workshop is available here.

The Chinese-American Network Symposium (CANS) event in Indianapolis adopted the "One World One Dream" theme of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. CANS 2008 topics focused on Network Research & Next Generation, Advanced Infrastructure and Hybrid Networking; Measurement, Quality of Service, and End-to-End Performance, Support of High Performance Applications, e-Science Applications and International Collaborations, IPv6 Operations & Management. These themes were reflected in Javier Delgado (Florida International University) and Zhao Juan's (CNIC) presentation of "How Cyberinfrastructure is Helping Hurricane Mitigation."
