-suggestion: - Eric Hofer's presentation has expectations and expectation management
- concept - preparation to virtual meetings and follow-up are key to nurturing a successful collaboration.
- concept - usage scenarios with users are key, even help first 10 minutes of meeting.
- Research study - people like projected image to be just a little larger than life size this is based on a study reported two years ago.
- Concept - Want technology to disappear
- Craig - work on details - the room/ the interactions. - virtual audience often like interactions better than - instructor feedback view of audience is important and seems to increase
- Concept - TV level quality video and sound will help make video conferencing more appealing to the technology generations.
*Medicine - instructional technology - develop a community around anatomy, difficulty to get faculty - people teach remotely - BOF in digital anatomy - collaboration through video conferencing with application sharing - 1 person serves as moderator and communicates around the world - social problems - Managing Complexity session - 1. Communicating- 2 yrs ago - surgery demo/serial imaging out of standard/OR- conference room - students
Technology interest vs social interaction.
Work with MI in teaching anatomy. With Ted Hanns
Social issues are enormous/ Technology daunting/timelines are critical
Anatomy interest?

Jonathon Tyman (Rough notes follow)
- I2 commons mission is to promote and facilitate remote collaboration
- Video technology h323 seems to work best, provides a gateway to SIP
- The commons has a bank of MCUs - 1 of everything (eg. Radvision, Polycomm etc...)
- The commons is now supporting some desktop technology - 2 tools, one each from Marratech and Wave3 are supported. These are multiplatform.
- The Commons also supporting Insors a commercial product that "makes the Access Grid usable".
- The commons runs servers for conference XP, Insors runs, unicast and multicast bridge a I2c and a gateway - Insors AG and H323
- H264 they have looked at
- The commons serves as a Test venue for vendors
- Jonathon's Mantra (or credo?) regarding collaboration technology- easy to use and reliable and affordable - quality not necessarily top priority.
- Jonathon feels that new collaborative technologies compete with phone - 10 cents/minute
- Training - the commons has been holding training sessions with a couple of new twists:
o Advanced topics - training by Eric Hofer as first attempt by this - very well received.
o Virtual training - held two sessions this summer and had 89 people for the first and 60 for the second. - Next training scheduled during Vide conference in march
- Collaboration problem
- RTC advisory group formed at spring meeting - Jonathon is involved
- *problem with time zone issues
- *head of group not there - set up room correctly - multi camera/screen set up
- Still have bad video conferencing
- Meeting moderating is an important part of video conferencing success
- Request - The RTC advisory group is collecting case studies.
- Idea - ontology of events -
- Idea - media conditioned generation - production is important - good lighting/audio - looks like a TV program - constituents like this way - watch when you want - Research Channel - should be multi-lingual
- Marratech is available for anyone - clients are free server is what is paid for i2 commons home page and download - ditto for ConfXP
- Insors - you buy that client
- Wave3 have own pricing -
- John Yost (Rough notes follow)
-technology does not solve all collaboration issues - brain imaging example
-range of meetings on collaboration
-PKI - security is important for collaboration -trusted network security
-NIH/Educause - federated security and connection to industry
-MS says internet has big security problem
-emphasize pervasive computing
-Openness
-Virtual communities - boundaries - intellectual property issues
-Academics need to be less academic (quote)
-e.g. PKI meetings
-AIMC very strongly academic maybe too academic
-trust - involves more than technology - managerial
-trust - means boundaries - confidence and competence
-collaboration should be long term - continuity requirement
-trust involves leaders - participating minds - intelligent/ideas and information - competence/confidence/cooperation - needed for collaboration
-Federations can be done to reduce the bureaucracy -
-collaboration has some structure that protects what needs to be protected
Collaboration is a major theme -PKI is important
Biz - emphasis on trust -collaboration should build confidence based on competence
