ESNW/MRCCS Seminar Announcement "Memetic: An AG-Integrated Meeting Recorder"
Friday, 16th December 2005, 2-3p.m. Venue: Room 1.10 (ESNW Access Grid), Kilburn Building http://www.esnw.ac.uk/n-events.shtml --- Dr. Andrew Rowley Access Grid Support Centre Manchester Computing University of Manchester Meetings pervade the life of almost all researchers, and increasingly, these take the form of telephone and videoconferences amongst geographically dispersed colleagues. Supporting distributed meetings that are as productive as face-to-face meetings is a primary challenge for research and development in this field. This is the motivation for this project. The specific aim of memetic is to support asynchronous collaboration on the Access Grid. This talk will focus on the development of the Access-Grid recording and playback engine that is to be used in the Memetic project. This will look at some of the technical issues that were involved in the creation of this software, including the need to develop compatible presentation sharing software. A demonstration of this tool will also be given.
