*** Apologies for Cross-posting *** Invitation: "Workshop: Collaborative Spaces creating an Enhanced Research Environment"
A workshop of Two-Parts on Thursday 17th December 2009, as part of the Virtual Research Environment CREW (Collaborative Research Events on the Web) project, funded by JISC. Room 1.10, Kilburn Building The University of Manchester (or via Video Conferencing/IOCOM/Access Grid - see below) All welcome (even at the last minute), to either or both parts - but if you are coming please email so I can organise festive refreshments :-) [email protected] "Workshop: Collaborative Spaces creating an Enhanced Research Environment" Part One: 11am: "CREW - Collaborative Research Events on the Web: Extensions and Integration with Intute and the Access Grid" Virtual Research Environment CREW (Collaborative Research Events on the Web) extension outcomes and results. Demos will show the integration within the Access Grid/IOCOM multi-site mathematics post-graduate lecture series (MAGIC http://maths.dept.shef.ac.uk/magic/index.php) as well as the MIMAS Intute data harvesting process Part Two: 2pm "Access Grid - Next Generation Video Conferencing Development Projects at the University of Manchester" A Retospective of Development Projects involving the Access Grid as a Research Environment designed to share and enjoy. This project aims to enhance a framework that allow video conferencing environments to act as a true research development system. Research Development Projects over the last five years will be demonstrated: choreographic annotation and multi-site projection (eDance), stereoscopic transmission (CSAGE), mind-mapping tools (memetic), semantic web event searching (CREW), repository meta-data (RACE), video conversion (ViCoVRE), multi-portal data sharing (OneVRE), robot command and steering (RoboViz), as well as unusual video conferencing sessions within Rm1:10 and the role of the Access Grid Support Centre. Longer abstract at: http://manchester.siggraph.org/ ----- Anyone wishing to view a discussion via Access Grid should note the following. Please check the Jabber room shortly before the start of the seminar to find if ScreenStreamer is to be used. Virtual Venue: University of Manchester Room1:10 Jabber Room: university-of-manchester-(1.10) (sam.ag.manchester.ac.uk)@conference.mcs.anl.gov ScreenStreamer: Preferably use ScreenStreamer software - go to http://www.memetic-vre.net/software/ScreenStreamer/ScreenStreamer.php and select room "University of Manchester (1.10)" from the AGSC section. Grab the screen feed (by clicking on it) from the screenstreamer window and resize it - more info can be found on http://www.memetic-vre.net/software/ScreenStreamer. Alternatively, the screenshot (not animated) can be accessed at http://192.150.184.66:7890 (this IP might change for some sessions - please check Jabber).
