ESnet to Host Collaboration Services Workshop in October

ESnet will hold a workshop in Auditorium 66 from Oct. 27 - 29 to help plan the future directions for ESnet Collaboration Services. ESnet Collaboration Services provides a number of online services aimed at improving collaboration among researchers at the many national laboratories and universities served by ESnet. Users, engineers and managers of collaboration services at all DOE/ESnet research centers are invited to attend.

“A key purpose of the workshop will be to gather current and anticipated requirements of our user community,” said workshop organizer Clint Wadsworth. “The workshop will investigate emerging and future technologies that promise to change the way scientists communicate and work. We also want to provide a forum for users to discuss the role of the ESnet Collaboration Services in their research.”

The workshop agenda will consist of noted guest speakers in the fields of voice, video, and data services, as well as present the current features of ESnet Collaboration Services.

More information on the agenda, speakers, and registration for the workshop is available online.
