Our podcasts provide information about a range of topics including Leadership, Policy and Law, Teaching and Learning, Emerging Technologies, Open Source, Research Computing, Cyberinfrastructure, and Digitial Libraries. http://connect.educause.edu/browse/content/node/691/list/feed Recent library resources tagged with Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences and Supercomputing. en http://connect.educause.edu/display/39068 Scientists, engineers, artists and archeologists have fully embraced networked computer visualization as a means to discover, communicate and educate. They generate and access massive data sets that push the technology to its daily limits, using the web as a common interface portal to share. A logical extension to the two-dimensional computer/TV screen is virtual reality 3D visuals and sound, presented in a surround fashion that puts the user inside the data, able to explore freely by walking or flying around. Connecting these users with the right networks, supercomputers and data mining gives them a way to make 3D phone calls to each other. 3D Telephony, or Tele-Immersion as it is more commonly called, is quite complicated to achieve, and is very expensive. The virtual reality gear is $150,000 per station, the networks require Quality of Service or over-provisioning, the computing and data mining are high-end. 3D phone calls are truly a challenge to the Next Generation Internet: fortunately it's only a question of more bandwidth, silicon, display technology, and software to drive the cost way down. Unfortunately, the speed of light is too slow for many global applications, but this too, provides challenges to the community. This talk will describe ways to get this technology to the desktop, plug it into the National Technology Grid, address the deep local and global networking issues, and adapt to the needs of users. http://connect.educause.edu/display/39068#comments Data Mining Supercomputing Telecommunications Presentations/Speeches Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Real Audio/Video Tue, 21 Sep 2004 16:56:03 -0500 drupal 39068 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/39038 Since October 1997, NSF has supported two National Supercomputing Partnerships, led by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), University of California, San Diego. The goal of this program is to create and maintain the national metacomputing environment, by supporting leading-edge technology and applications research, and promoting human, technological and administrative infrastructure for ubiquitous computing. This paper provides summaries of the individual presentations from the conference: (1) Building a faculty community to support curriculum development in computational science and engineering (Kris Stewart), (2) Repositories and Online Tools (Roscoe Giles), and (3) Sociology Workbench, an analytical interface to distributed resources for social scientists (Ilya Zaslavsky). http://connect.educause.edu/display/39038#comments Faculty Computing Support Faculty Development Supercomputing Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences Fri, 22 Oct 1999 11:03:58 -0500 drupal 39038 at http://connect.educause.edu
