We invite those interested in digital video for education and
research to attend the 5th annual SURA/ViDe Digital Video workshop
and enjoy a compelling agenda covering a wide range of topics.

Presentation topics this year include digital video applications and
projects - both real world applications and emerging technologies -
and half-day in-depth breakouts in areas of special interest,
including "H.323 Operations", "Streaming/VOD", and "Trends from the
Developer Community".

The workshop will be held March 24 - 26 at the Georgia Centers for
Advanced Telecommunications Technology (GCATT) in Atlanta, GA.

The conference keynote will be given by Gordon Castle, CNN Senior
Vice President of CNN Technology. Mr. Castle is a leading executive
behind the creation of an all-digital production environment at CNN -
a multi-year, multi-million-dollar project that is a cornerstone of
CNN's technology plan.

Pre-conference and post-conference workshops are also being offered this year:

- "Using Dublin Core and MPEG-7 to Describe Digital Video", March 24

- Internet2 Commons Site Coordinator training, March 26 & 27.
Successful completion of this training will certify each participant
as an Internet2 Commons Site Coordinator. See
http://commons.internet2.edu/train/Mar03.html for more details.

registration is available until March 3 for $150 and includes
continental breakfasts, lunches, breaks and receptions. Registration
cut-off is March 17.
