Who should come?

• 2-3 representatives from each of the testbed initatives:
  • ESnet
  • EMERGE
  • QBone (QUALIT)
• 2 representatives from each application partnership (these individuals should be familiar with the networking requirements of their application(s) generally and with the local university and lab networking resources traversed by QoS-needy applications paths):
  • Corridor One
  • X-Ray Crystallography Collaboratory
  • Combustion Corridor
  • Earth Systems GRID
  • Particle Physics Data GRID

Directions

From O'Hare

To reach Argonne from O'Hare Airport, drive east (toward Chicago) on Interstate 190 to the exit for Interstate 294 south (toward Indiana). Go south on Interstate 294 to the exit for Interstate 55 south (toward St. Louis). I294 is a toll road, so you will need $0.95 in change (there are two tolls at $0.40 and one at $0.15) for the automatic lanes. Alternatively, you can use the manual lanes with a human toll taker. Take I55 south to the exit for South Cass Avenue. Exit at South Cass Ave, drive over the overpass, and you will see the sign for Argonne National Laboratory. Follow the signs and turn into the Laboratory entrance on Northgate Road. Unless you have an Argonne or APS User pass, you will need to stop at the Argonne Information Center to obtain a pass.

From Midway

Take Cicero Avenue north to the entrance to Interstate 55 south (toward St. Louis), which will be on your left, then proceed as described above.

Entering the Argonne Site

The Argonne Guest House is on Outer Circle Drive near Meridian, just west of the Mobil Service Station. When you reach Argonne, request further directions from the Argonne Information Center or at the gate. There are signs indicating the route from the gate to the Guest House.

Admission to the site is normally arranged in advance by your Argonne contact person, but can be arranged by the Guest House Staff. Be sure to indicate if your expected arrival time will coincide with the normal Argonne Information Center hours (8:30-5:00, M-F). The Guest House desk is attended 24 hours.
