ARCHAEOINFORMATICS

If you plan to participate please review the instructions listed below then send a message to rsvp@archaeoinformatics.org so that we can anticipate the network requirements.

The University of Arkansas uses an NCSA Venue as a virtual meeting place for each lecture. It is possible to take advantage of this lecture series in serveral ways.

First, using conferencing facilities provided by Access Grid® or InSORS you can be networked into the virtual meeting with two-way audio and video.

Access Grid® or InSORS is typically available at most University campuses. Contact your appropriate University department to determine which technology is being used and have the node operator contact the University of Arkansas node operators - John Chapman or Dan Puckett.

Finally, with the permission of the presenters, we will make archived versions of
the presentations available for download.The lecturer's PowerPoint presentations will be posted on the web so that you can download them and follow along on your own machine, or you can receive a live feed via Breeze (Acrobat Connect).
