In widely distributed systems generally, and in science-oriented Grids in particular, software, CPU time, storage, etc., are treated as"services" -- they can be allocated and used with service guarantees that allows them to be integrated into systems that perform complex tasks. Network communication is currently not a service -- it is provided, in general, as a"best effort" capability with no guarantees and only statistical predictability. In order for Grids (and most types of systems with widely distributed components) to be successful in performing the sustained, complex tasks of large-scale science -- e.g., the multi-disciplinary simulation of next generation climate modeling and management and analysis of the petabytes of data that will come from the next generation of scientific instrument (which is very soon for the LHC at CERN) -- networks must provide communication capability that is service-oriented: That is it must be configurable, schedulable, predictable, and reliable. In order to accomplish this, the research and education network community is undertaking a strategy that involves changes in network architecture to support multiple classes of service; development and deployment of service-oriented communication services, and; monitoring and reporting in a form that is directly useful to the application-oriented system so that it may …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Frank Lowry. Lowry attended Northern Illinois University until August 1942, when he enlisted in the Coast Guard. He was initially stationed in Baltimore as an apprentice seaman, where he guarded foreign merchant ships overnight, armed only with an empty pistol. He later attended Duke University through the Navy College Training Program. After small boats training, he was assigned to the patrol craft USS PC-819 in Adak. As the communications officer, he supervised the radio shack and decoded messages while the patrol craft searched for submarines, but he often felt that both he and his crew were woefully inexperienced. Amidst a revolving door of five different captains within two years, Lowry quickly made engineering officer, executive officer, and finally captain, which was a lonely job. When the war ended, Lowry turned down an opportunity for full lieutenancy, choosing instead to return to school.

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Lee Young. Young joined the Army Air Forces in March 1943. Upon completion of pilot training he was assigned to the 95th Bombardment Group, Eighth Air Force. Stationed in England, he enjoyed good relations with the British. As pilot of a B-17, he felt vulnerable in combat, yet he carries great remorse for the civilian casualties he caused in Dresden. In Berlin, he faced a barrage of antiaircraft fire and was hit in the wing by a shell that missed the supercharger. Young managed to land in England despite the resulting fuel leak. On his next mission, a raid on Nuremberg, engine damage from antiaircraft fire caused him to crash-land in Belgium. The crew received assistance from the local mayor to reach American forces. Young endured 28 combat missions, earning multiple medals. He continued his military career to become highly decorated for his service in the Korean War. He retired from the Air Force as a colonel, having been awarded the Legion of Merit.
