Rhoads, Univ. of Hawaii/Manoa; Iain A. Steele, Liverpool John Moores Univ. (UK); Anders Wallander, European Southern Observatory (Chile) Advances in communications and network technologies stimulate new modes of astronomical research collaboration and provide both new possibilities and challenges for the operation of ground-based observatories. The next generation internet will provide astronomers with high-bandwidth connectivity between their respective universities and research centers, and create demands to extend similar connectivity to major telescope sites. Extending high-bandwidth links to such remote locations poses significant technical, economic, and political challenges that require innovative solutions. This conference will focus on topics related to the use of high-bandwidth internets and intranets to facilitate collaborative astronomical research and remote operation of telescopes and associated instrumentation. The aim of this conference is to bring together both astronomers and experts in communications and networking technology to discuss current developments and future plans and directions.

    Extractions: Astronomy Dept. Faculty, Emeritus Faculty, and Postdocs in 2001 The faculty of the Astronomy Department are its most important long-term assets. Correspondingly we need to invest strategically in their long-term success. Those who are at the start of their career trajectories will return the most for the investment since they will be active for the next 30 years. However, our senior faculty remain as productive as ever, and have a proven track record. Retaining them and keeping them fully engaged in research and mentoring that is, protecting them from encroachments on their time and us from recruitment "attacks" is a winner for all. Click on this link to read more about the Research Interests of the U.W. Astronomy Faculty There are many ways to invest in the careers of our faculty. Some suggestions follow; however, we prefer to fashion a program in close collaboration with potential benefactors. Similarly there are many ways to establish exciting Centers of Excellence. We urge donors to contact us before making substantial contributions so that we may optimize the benefits of a gift.

As described by NASA, the University Research Centers program is designed to achieve a broad-based, competitive aerospace research capability among the nation's Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) of Higher Education. These centers will foster new aerospace science and technology concepts; expand the nation's base for aerospace research and development; develop mechanisms for increased participation by faculty and students of MSI in mainstream research; and increase the production of socially- and economically-disadvantaged students (who are U.S. citizens and who have historically been underrepresented) with advanced degrees in NASA-related fields. This particular center will develop excellence in research and education in areas related to the new astronomy which will become technically feasible within the next five to ten years gravitational wave astronomy The CGWA will focus on three major research areas: gravitational wave data analysis, gravitational wave source modeling, and phenomenological astrophysics of supermassive black holes. The proposed research is relevant to the NASA Space Science Enterprise of charting the evolution of the universe and understanding its galaxies, stars, and their dynamics and evolution. In particular, we expect the center to make important contributions to LISA, a joint NASA-ESA mission with a projected launch date of 2011. LISA consists of three identical spacecraft located in an equilateral triangle
