inSORS TO ACCESS GRID-ENABLE GGF7 GROUP
SESSIONS FROM TOKYO, JAPAN
CHICAGO -- inSORS Integrated
Communications, Inc., a Chicago-based
communications firm and Gold Sponsor of
the Global Grid Forum, is proud to
announce
that it will once again utilize
the inSORS Grid (IG) platform to enable
distance
collaboration for many of
the working and research group sessions of the
GGF7 meeting
to be held March
4 through 7, 2003, at the Hotel Intercontinental Keio
Plaza in Tokyo,
Japan.
Similar to its offering at the GGF6 event in Chicago, inSORS
will provide
remote GGF
members who are unable to attend the conference in
person the ability to
participate using
the inSORS Grid and the underlying
Access Grid technology.
At the Chicago event, remote participants
collaborated from several sites
including
Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom,
Amsterdam, and the U.S. Participation
levels
varied from viewers of training
sessions to interactive participants in
many of the
Working Group and
Research Group sessions.
As were the GGF6 sessions, GGF7 sessions will
be recorded and made
available through
inSORS.
The IG, which is the
commercialized version of the original Access Grid
prototype, links
dispersed
locations with immersive, interactive, rich-media communications and
accelerates the adoption of grid collaboration by the commercial sector.
The IG also adds
commercial class stability, ease of use, and added
functionality to the
original platform.
Additionally, inSORS provides
value-added professional services to
implement nodes
quickly and
efficiently.
The Global Grid Forum is a community-initiated forum of
individual
researchers and
practitioners working on distributed computing, or
"grid" technologies. GGF
is the result
of a merger of the Grid Forum, the
eGrid European Grid Forum, and the Grid
community
in Asia-Pacific.
