at do ocean research. Researchers at the University of Illinois will provide optical networking and visualization expertise on the project. "OptIPuter will provide real-time software as well as high-performance compute and storage capacity," said OptIPuter and Cal-(IT) director Larry Smarr, who is co-PI on LOOKING and a professor of computer science and engineering at UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering. "The dedicated lightpaths will also permit super-fast, interactive control of ocean-going instruments along with real-time access to the data from those instruments."

Given LOOKING's focus on tools for research and education, web services will be a priority at UCSD, UW, OSU, MBARI, WHOI, and CANARIE, as well as CalPoly, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and the University of Illinois at Chicago's Electronic Visualization Laboratory. Two other projects based at UCSD -- ROADnet and HiSeasNet -- will provide data-handling software and ocean-to-shore, high-speed wireless and satellite communication systems. International partners include the oceanographic department of Mexico's Center for Scientific Research and Graduate Studies of Ensenada (CICESE).
