<DIV>There definetly is an idea here people.</DIV>
<DIV>Rick, you may have stumbled onto something that would benefit everyone
that has or is getting a node.</DIV>
<DIV>The idea of having a well planned retreat, would help many of the
things being planned to be implemented. </DIV>
<DIV>Exchanging ideas on things can go a long way. </DIV>
<DIV>I know, most of the new people on the AG Node would really benefit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> This not only could be a place for
exchanging ideas but I belive Lisa Childers has been looking into developing a
calander of events for the node. If we were all in one place to meet with each
other, we may be able to plan a little better for future events.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am at WVU, currently, and I
am working on software for the AG Node.</DIV>
<DIV>This retreat would be a good place to let other people see what work we
are doing at WVU on things. Dr. Frances Van Scoy is here at WVU and of course
is working to see what her VR lab can do to improve and help with the AG
Nodes. </DIV>
<DIV>I know that the people here at the University would also be
very interested in a conference.</DIV>
<DIV>Not only myself, but Dr. Frances Van Scoy would be willing to
support such a venture.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> As far as
the 2 to 3 day format goes, that seems to be one of the best forms for us
people in research.</DIV>
<DIV>Where you thinking in the middle of the week or towards the end?
"Rick"</DIV>
<DIV>The informal paper would be nice too. I would like to see one of the
Universities be able to get funding or in some way publish a regular formal
e-paper or perhaps, even a regular publishing would be nice to keep the
contact flowing with what is new and upcoming. I am checking into what funding
we could get for such a paper. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to
contact me concerning the funding issue.</DIV>

owner-ag-tech@mcs.anl.gov<BR>><BR>>Hi,<BR>><BR>>I'm thinking
that it might be a good idea to put together an Access
Grid<BR>>retreat<BR>>for sometime early next year. The purpose of the
retreat would be to<BR>>gather people<BR>>together to discuss where we
are with the Access Grid Project, present<BR>>some
technical<BR>>proposals to the AG technical community for where we might
want to go in<BR>>the next year with<BR>>new capabilities, to plan
some stretch events that will help refine and<BR>>improve<BR>>the AG
concept, and to provide an open forum for discussing new
and<BR>>interesting<BR>>things we can do with the AG in the
future. I propose a 2-3 day format,<BR>>with a few<BR>>invited
talks, contributed presentations from various groups on
future<BR>>directions,<BR>>some breakout sessions to discuss specific
applications of AG (Medical,<BR>>etc.) and<BR>>the publication in an
informal proceedings the lecture notes and<BR>>discussion papers
which<BR>>would cover new AG related technologies and
projects.<BR>><BR>>Thoughts ?<BR>><BR>>---Rick<BR><BR>
