DOT News & Events
The Distributed Optical Testbed (DOT) research initiative was first announced at the SC2002 high performance networking and computing conference in Baltimore, Maryland (November 16 - 22). The theme of the conference - "From Terabytes to Insights." The 15th Annual SC conference "brought together a worldwide community to celebrate its achievements and envision the future of high performance computing, networking, and data technologies."
The conference theme, "From Terabytes to Insights," is an appropriate one for the objectives of the DOT research initiative because it "emphasizes the opportunity to use technology to transform an ever-increasing flow of data into the knowledge that will impact education, science, business, government, and every aspect of society." Similarly, the DOT initiative is creating basic techniques that will enable many different types of new and existing distributed applications across multiple areas of activity enabled by next generation information technology.
