Title: Grid Optical Burst Switched Networks (GOBS)

Author/editors: R. Nejabati

Abstract: As Grid applications evolve, the need for user controlled
network infrastructure is apparent in order to support emerging
dynamic and interactive services. Examples of such applications may be
high resolution home video editing, real-time rendering,
high-definition interactive TV, e-health and immersive interactive
learning environments. These applications need infrastructures that
makes vast amount of storage and computation resources potentially
available to a large number of users. Key for the future evolution of
such networks is to determine early on the technologies, protocols,
and network architecture that would enable solutions to these
requirements.  In an attempt to address this problem, in this draft
novel network paradigms and solutions based on the optical burst
switching are discussed
