CSIRO. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) employs more than six thousand staff in many divisions. The Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) is a division of CSIRO that specialises in research and technological developments in radio astronomy. The ATNF operates as open access national facilities the Parkes 64m telescope, the Mopra 22m antenna and the 6 x 22m antennas of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The ATNF also heads the Australian bid to host the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), the next generation radio astronomy instrument. ATNF is building the 36 x 12m Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) and developing new and innovative technologies for the SKA. The ATNF also operates a VLBI array, the Long Baseline Array (LBA), which utilises all the ATNF antennas and other telescopes in Australia, such as the Hobart and Ceduna antennas operated by the University of Tasmania and the NASA Tidbinbilla antennas. The VLBI data are correlated on a computer cluster operated by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ University of Technology, utilising the DiFX software correlator developed at Swinburne University of Technology. The LBA is the only substantial VLBI array operating in the Southern Hemisphere. The LBA partners also conduct a vigorous research and development programme in e-VLBI, in partnership with the Australian NREN AARNet. Recent developments include: connecting the ATNF antennas via 2 x 1 Gbps links; there are 3 computer clusters that operate as DiFX software correlators; recorded VLBI data is also electronically transferred via a Petabyte store operated by ARCS (government funded agency); operating e-VLBI and recording in parallel. The ATNF and AARNet were also key participants in the EXPReS project. So, the ATNF and its LBA partners are already committed to e-VLBI research and ideally suited to complement the activities in Europe planned for NEXPReS. CSIRO participates directly in WP6, but through this Australian connection there will also be synergy with other Australian projects, in particular at AARNET and in the group of ▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at ▇▇▇▇▇▇ University, Perth, Western Australia. This latter group has considerable expertise on e-VLBI and has developed the DiFX software correlator that has been deployed at multiple sites around the world. CSIRO's contribution to WP6 will consist of ATNF's participation on the one hand, with their telescopes and correlator facilities, and AARNET participating in building the networking res...
