It is a 30-month project begun in October 2006 and funded by the European Union (EU) Research Networking Testbeds IST program. <br> The project mission is to address key technical challenges in enabling on-demand end-to-end network service across multiple domains; to treat the underlying network as a first-class Grid resource; and to demonstrate solutions and functionalities across a testbed involving European National Research Networks (NRNs), GÉANT, Cross Border Dark Fibre and GLIF connectivity infrastructures. <br> </p> <h2>URL:</h2> <p class="text"> <a href="http://www.ist-phosphorus.eu/ ">http://www.ist-phosphorus.eu/</a><br /> </p> <h2>Collaborators:</h2> <p class="text"> <em>Belgium:</em><br> Interdisciplinary Institute for Broadband Technology (IBBT) <br> <br> <em>Canada: </em><br> Communications Research Centre <br> <br> <em>Czech Republic: </em><br> CESNET <br> <br> <em>Germany: </em><br> Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (SAIC) and Institute for Media Communication (IMK)<br> Research Centre Jülich <br> University of Bonn <br> <br> <em>Greece: </em><br> Athens Information Technology Institute<br> RACTI, University of Patras <br> <br> <em>Netherlands:</em><br> SARA <br> SURFnet <br> University of Amsterdam <br> <br> <em>Poland: </em><br> PIONIER <br> PoznaD Supercomputing and Networking Center <br> <br> <em>Spain: </em><br> Fundació i2CAT <br> <br> <em>UK: </em><br> University of Essex <br> University of Wales-Swansea <br> <br> <em>USA:</em><br> MCNC <br> Center for Computation and Technology, Louisiana State University <br> <br> </p> </td> <td width="30"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" height="1" width="30" /></td> <td valign="top" width="224"><img src="../../../images/phoslogo.jpg" height="80" width="100" align="top" /> </p> <img src="../../../images/phos.gif" height="146" width="210"> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
