This paper describes a telepresence system for remote site exploration allowing both real-time unrestricted navigation and live information visualization. The proposed strategy is based on the use two distinct and complementary models: a structural model and an appearance model. These two models

Metacomputing systems are intended to support remote and/or concurrent use of geographically distributed computational resources. Resource management in such systems is complicated by five concerns that do not typically arise in other situations: site autonomy and heterogeneous substrates

Transferring large files to remote sites is revisited in the light of two new de-velopments. The UK academic network has now been upgraded to SuperJANET5. The successor service to HPCx, the HECToR machine, will be located at the ACF, University of Edinburgh. Transferring data to HECToR from HPCx

Abstract: A cloud monitor has been developed for use with cosmic ray air shower fluorescence detectors, the High Resolution Fly's Eye and the Pierre Auger Observatory. This is based on an infrared thermopile device which, unlike previous such monitors, requires no moving chopper and is suitable for unattended operation over long periods of time.

of soil organisms. However, such details are often dependent on human observation and are not available from remote, unoccupied sites. Most recording snow sensors (Fig 1 & 2) record the depth of snow at a single spot or over a very small area. The recent availability of high resolution digital cameras

BABAR [1] uses two formats for its data: Objectivity database and root [2] les. This poster concerns the distribution of the latter | for Objectivity data see [3]. The BABAR analysis data is stored in root les | one per physics run and analysis selection channel | maintained in a large directory tree. Currently BABAR has more than

Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an international distribution. No restriction is placed on subject matter and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Technical reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and indexed in the Department’s annual index to scientific and technical publications.

In the last decade or so there has been an increasing number of remotely located and often environmentally sensitive sites becoming the focus for development work involving potential investors / entrepreneurs / stakeholders or government and non-government agencies. Projects on remote sites

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) operating in the 5 GHz band (IEEE 802.11 a/h) offer a great opportunity to function as wireless access networks. Remote sites that lack direct access to a wired/fibre network may benefit from this technology, as it can be used to bridge possibly large distances
