Agenda for the INDIS 2025 Workshop (All times are in CST)

(09:00 am) Welcome and SCinet Architecture (SCinet Chair) [slides]
(09:10 am) Invited talk: Kate Mace - JLab, HPDF project director (US Department of Energy) [slides]
(Session lead: Ezra Kissel)

(10:00 am) Coffee Break

(10:30 am) Panel on Integrated infrastructure: In this Integrated Research Infrastructure panel we will explore the network innovations needed for the emerging Artificial Intelligence, Super- and Quantum Computing facilities in the context of the mission infrastructures and American Science Cloud. Moreover we will explore several different testbed initiatives around the world that will support the research and innovation on network infrastructure.
