NSF ITR Proposal for Acclerating AG Technology/Deployment

[Robin Bargar]

Rick,

this fits several of our current interests regarding interactive
multichannel audio display in distributed environments. We have core
technology to apply to advanced grid prototypes. Some of this we will
present at the AG R&D meeting in December. Also we have some significant
international collaborators that are part of CNRS (France) who can provide
a strong proposal component and bring their own funding.

The letter of intent is due 11/15.
