## Advanced Optical Networking Research

**“****Scientists Require Their Own Supercomputers”  - Larry Smarr **
**Today, Scientists Require Their Own Global, National, Regional, State-Wide, Metro and Local Advanced Networks**
**Requirement: Scientists Require Direct Access, Control, Management – Without Intermediation By Production Managers**
**Justification Ref: Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS), Volume 19, Number 6, August 2003, Special Issue on iGrid 2002, September 24-26, 2002 Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 22 Refereed Application Papers, Guest Editors Tom DeFanti, Maxine Brown, and Cees de Laat**
**Manifesto Ref: Communications of the ACM (CACM), Volume 46, Number 11, November 2003****, ****Special issue: Blueprint for the Future of High-Performance Networking, *****Introduction,***** Maxine Brown, Guest Editor**
**Real Research Testbeds Must Be Managed by Researchers**
