Evl would like to present on AGAVE <font face="Arial, Helvetica">Access
Grid Augmented with Virtual Environments.<br>
<dl>
<dd>A deployable system utilizing PCs, passive polarization, front
projection,CAVElib and CAVERNsoft will be
<dd>described.<br>
<br>
<dd>We definitely could use a 20 to 30 minuet slot.
<dd>The presenter would be Dan Sandin and perhaps others from
EVL.<br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm now starting in earnest to plan the program for the AG technical
retreat.. it now<br>
looks like we will have a AG tutorial prior to the retreat and a small AG
human factors<br>
workshop after the retreat. At this point I'm looking for
people interested in<br>
presenting short topical papers at the retreat on technical topics
related to the AG.<br>
On the agenda we can provide 5-10 minute idea spots to 20-30 minute slots
for making detailed technical<br>
proposes or reporting on technical results using the AG. Please
propose speakers and topics. The<br>
retreat format will include both presentations and time for informal
discussions.<br>
<br>
A Partial List of Topics include:<br>
<br>
1. Improving AG Usability and User Interfaces<br>
2. Integrating 3D Graphics Capabilities to the AG<br>
3. Distributed AG Servers and Peer-to-Peer Services<br>
4. AG Security Models and Integration with Globus GSI Services<br>
5. Lower Cost Implementation Technologies for AG (Game Platforms,
etc.)<br>
6. Performance Evaluation and Networking Utilization<br>
7. Bandwidth Management for the AG<br>
8. Multicast Engineering for supporting the AG<br>
9. Group-Oriented Collaboration Models<br>
10. New AG enabled Tools<br>
11. Improved AG Audio, including spatialization and private audio
channels, etc.<br>
12. Network Quality of Service Needs for AG<br>
13. AG Software Architecture<br>
14. Interoperability with H.323 systems<br>
15. Applications specific requirements for AG (e.g. medical,
paleontology)<br>
16. Portable AG nodes and infrastructure<br>
17. Integrating Wearable with AG and Field Operations<br>
18. AG Recording and Playback Strategies<br>
19. Middleware Requirements<br>
20. Support for Asynchronous Collaboration<br>
21. Integration of AG with ActiveSpaces and Tiled Displays<br>
22. many more topics<br>
<br>
We will be producing a proceedings document for the meeting and are
encouraging<br>
groups to prepare short 3-5 page position papers and PPT presentations
for inclusion<br>
in the proceedings.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in talking about a topic please send me your
suggestion..<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
