The Joint Engineering Team (JET) under the Interagency Large Scale Networking Group (LSN) ) will hold a Roadmapping Workshop at Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, VA, on April 13-15, 2004.

Due to its impact on a wide range of federal agency R&D and science missions — ranging from national security and defense to basic science and high-end computing — a secure and fully inter-operable networking capability is becoming increasingly critical. Through the course of 2004, agencies involved in developing or using high-end science will be engaged in planning activities to guide future investments in this area.

The activities will include the development of an interagency networking roadmap in order to support the agency missions. The knowledge gained from this process will be used to guide future investments in this area. Research, development and deployment to support high-end science will provide a foundation for future federal R&D by improving the effectiveness of core technologies on which next-generation high-end science systems will rely.

The goals of this workshop are:

1. Develop a JET roadmap aimed at ensuring that U. S. Government and University Research and Education networking issues for the next five years are addressed.

2. Develop a picture of where these networks will be in five years.

3. Examine what has to be done to ensure continued interoperability if future infrastructure expands beyond IP into the optical realm.
