For anyone who might be interested, last week it was announced that one of this year's focuses at the SC09[1] conference will be the "3D Internet". OpenSim BOF?
>From the press release: "The 3D Internet Focus Area will look at ways in which 3D visualization and immersive environments such as Second Life are changing the way we communicate, share information, educate students and explore scientific problems. "'The Internet changed the way we share information and the 3D Internet will change the way we relate to each other in fundamental ways,' said John Hengeveld, a business strategy manager at Intel and chair of the 3D Internet Focus Area. 'These graphically rich 3D worlds require a host of HPC resources, and they could forever change education and how people come to understand scientific concepts.' "Submissions for most areas of the SC09 technical program will be accepted beginning March 16. Technical paper abstracts are due April 3 and final papers as well as submissions for tutorials, workshops and panels are due April 6." SC09 will be November 14-20, 2009 in Portland, Oregon, USA. http://sc09.supercomputing.org/ -Coyle [1] -- What's SC09? "SC09, sponsored by the ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) and the IEEE Computer Society, offers a complete technical education program and exhibition to showcase the many ways high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis lead to advances in scientific discovery, research, education and commerce. This premier international conference includes a globally attended technical program, workshops, tutorials, an exhibit area, demonstrations and hands-on learning. _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
