Project seeks users for advanced videoconferencing networkThe Video Development Initiative (ViDe), a partnership between 13 universities and high-performance networks, is requesting proposals for use of its Large-Scale Video Network Prototype (LSVNP). The LSVNP project is sponsored by the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) and BBN Planet, with collaboration from the New York State, Education and Research Network (NYSERNET). The LSVNP is a distributed system of H.323-based videoconferencing services being deployed by ViDe in the Southeastern United States and New York State. University researchers involved in projects that could benefit from the use of videoconferencing are invited to apply for use of the network. Projects that involve some universities and researchers from outside the SURA and NYSERNET region are eligible to apply. The deadline for applications is Sept. 15. Georgia Tech is leading the ViDe initiative: Ed Price, co-director of the Interactive Media Technology Center, is administrative chair of ViDe; Mary Trauner, manager of high-performance computing for the Office of Information Technology is head of the video conferencing working group; and Grace Agnew, assistant director for Systems and Technical Services at the Georgia Tech Library is head of the video-on-demand working group.
For more information on ViDe, or for a copy of the RFP, see the web at www.vide.net,
or contact Ed Price at ed.price@oip.gatech.edu.
