To further broaden the reach of SC Global, Internet2 Commons will host both a Windows Media broadcast and a high-quality VBrick stream. This creates additional options for people around the world who are interested in participating in this event, but either do not have an Access Grid node available to them, or missed the deadlines for participating as a Satellite Site.
The SC Global program includes such highlights as: * "Towards a Planetary Collaboratory," keynote address by Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology * Continental Challenge: The first-ever demonstration of simultaneous Access Grid connections from all six inhabited continents * Stereographics and Virtual Reality over the Access Grid * Advancing Technology in Native American Communities * LEAD: Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery * The ARCEL Network, a Global Faculty in Art & Science Instructions for accessing these streams will be available at: http://commons.internet2.edu/ag/sc2004.html Please forward this announcement along to your friends and colleagues who may be interested in SC Global.
