Fwd: [Cookreport-pdf] Publication schedule between now and june - two multi month issues in preparation
by Michel Bauwens 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

*From: *Gordon Cook <cook(a)cookreport.com> *Date: *January 14, 2011 10:14:55 PM EST *To: *cookreport-pdf(a)cookreport.com *Subject: **[Cookreport-pdf] Publication schedule between now and june - two multi month issues in preparation* *Dear subscribers, * I am two weeks late with the promised February 2011 issue and I've decided it's time to give a progress report. Probably most of you know by now writing a book. It will be published first in the Cook Report and hopefully other places in modified form. I enclose the current abstract below as well as the current chapter outline and table of contents by chapter. it is evolving as I continue my work and the last week has witnessed an especially good turn as I have become much more familiar with Internet 2's very fortunate twist of fate. As I get to know more and more about the United States Unified Community Anchor Network I have real hope for the transition of my country through these difficult times. I am doing a lot of reading in an effort to unify the meaning of the public Internet to research and education network world in the context of the collapse of the 20th century corporate state and the rise of more viable local economies described by the many people participating in the work of the open peer-to-peer foundation. the two principal readings at the moment include Michael Brown, *Civilizing the Economy, a New Economics of Provision, *Cambridge University Press and Kevin Carson's* the Home Brew Industrial Revolution a Low Overhead Manifesto*. I knew intuitively a year ago that what Surfnet was and continues to be has huge relevance for the United States. I am now very happy that, especially with the emergence of USUCAN, I now have a very clear picture. And thanks to the Surf Foundation's making it possible for me to do almost 3 weeks of research in Europe in October I have the material in the interviews as well as contacts to explain this all in detail. The book will likely not be anything more than 10 chapters. I have the first five chapters completed in draft form. I am hopeful that I can publish the first five chapters as the February March and maybe April COOK Report between about February 10 and 20th. This material will be at least 100 pages and probably more like 150 pages in normal COOK Report format and style and the remaining half will be of similar length. I ought to be able to have the remainder done by May. One thing that I am thinking about is how what I am writing might be repackaged and presented in the United States as an introduction to USUCAN in the US. I would like to be able to help people here understand the breadth and depth of this immense opportunity that is being laid before them at this time. I am open to any and all suggestions and certainly would appreciate feedback. Please either write to me privately cook(a)Cookreport.com or on the Arch-econ list if you think it's appropriate. I think this material is world changing and that it's coming to fruition is absolutely critical time. I hope I'm right and I hope that we can all push it along to broader understanding and fulfillment. * * *Global Economic Disruption and Research Collaborations (working title only)* Abstract This book will offer an introduction to an emerging technology of communication, collaboration, and scientific research that is almost unknown outside a narrow circle – SURFNet and the thye several dozen members of Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) where it originated and has grown. It is the authors’ contention that it must become far more widely known and used. It’s most advanced form (part of which was chronicled here a year ago in a separate book) was developed in the Netherlands. However it has grown into a world-wide movement that flying far below the general visibility of the public as a whole and is waiting to be more broadly discovered. The time for the discovery is at hand because with the Obama Administration’s award of a 62.5 million dollar stimulus grant to build a United States Unified Community Anchor Network. http://www.usucan.org/ its importance has just been magnified. For the first time the United States has the opportunity to do for itself what the Netherlands and many other optical research and education networks have been doing. The opportunity is immense and I will demonstrate in the text that follows why. We shall argue in these reports that the university based global research and education network community is not merely building a new infrastructure to support collaboratively based global science but is building the tools and techniques needed to replace the broken proprietary silo based capitalism of the last century. Each side must become aware of and support the other’s progress as rapidly as possible. We also point out that the full explanation of capabilities to be described here in is largely unknown outside the university community and likely not understood in its totality even there. *Outline* * * *Chapter one introduction sets the stage, describes what is happening and shows how it reaches beyond university and research networking as well as whu it is need by the rest of society.* *Chapter two* will examine R&E networks and their projects in Asia and in much more detail in the United States. The remaining chapters will describe this emerging global system in its most advance form. *Chapter 3* by tracing the evolution of the GLIF and R& E networking in Europe and the Netherlands will explain how research and education networks have over the past decade independently evolved in the direction needed to educate the commercial sector in the direction needed for 21st century viability *Chapter 4* will focus on the creation of collaboration infrastructures as the engines for the creation of knowledge infrastructures. *Chapter 5* will tell the story of Sara and supercomputing with the Netherlands *Chapter 6* is devoted to the Das 3 and Star Plane test beds and examines a day in the life of a researcher to show how the Dutch ecosystem is put together. *Chapter 7* moves to the e-science Big Grid which gives users resources for problems that don’t fit will of super computers and looks at training issues *Chapter 8* ecology and environmental science illustrated by instrumentation and tracking of birds and cover innovation in the UK with a separate interview with Frederique van Till *Chapter 9* looks at the life sciences and micro arrays *Chapter 10* covers redesign of LHC OPN networking data and use to strengthen the infrastructure of the GLIF and Gloriad. *Chapter 11* Gloriad? ============================================================= The COOK Report on Internet Protocol, (PSTN) 609 882-2572 (Skype-in) 609 643-4067 Back Issues: http://www.cookreport.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=37&… Cook's Collaborative Edge Blog http://gordoncook.net/wp/ Subscription info: http://www.cookreport.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&I… ============================================================= _______________________________________________ Cookreport-pdf mailing list Cookreport-pdf(a)cookreport.com http://nine.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/cookreport-pdf -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://listcultures.org/mailman/listinfo/p2presearch_listcultures.org Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Think tank: http://www.asianforesightinstitute.org/index.php/eng/The-AFI
