REU Presentation -- An Overview of NPAC

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at REU Seminar on June 8,95. Foils prepared June 15,95

This Survey selects from talks on InfoMall95, InfoVision95, NIIkids, CompSci, NPACDBover, WebWindows
Initially we survey NPCC and NII technology status including National Programs
We briefly describe NPACÕs capabilities and mission
The survey of NII sets National telecommunications scene and Introduces InfoVision
An execiting technology prospect is highlighted by the WebWindows Concept
We describe education from two points of view
  • Technologies that will change the way education can be delivered
  • New educational programs for tomorrows evolving interdisciplinary world
Finally we describe a few additional activities of NPAC


This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
