I don't know how many of you have access to the MBONE (Multicast Backbone)
but I thought this announcement from the remote conferencing mailing list
might interest the techdiver readers anyway.

    Subject: MBONE event Friday: underwater vehicles workshop

    Friday May 6 1994 we intend to multicast several invited talks 
    from the second workshop on Mobile Robots for Subsea Environments, 
    sponsored by the International Advanced Robotics Programme.
    Nations represented include France, Italy, Japan, U.K., Russia, Spain,
    Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Portugal, Canada and USA.

    This MBONE event includes three capstone presentations from the weeklong 
    workshop.  

      8:00  "A Reactive Approach to Underwater Vehicle Control:  The Mixed
            ORCCAD/PIRART Programming of the VFortex Vehicle," 
            Daniel Simon, Eve Coste-Maniere, R. Pissard, Vincent Rigaud,
            M. Perrier, A. Peuch, INRIA/IFREMER, France.

      9:00  "Using Visual Sensing for Control of an Underwater Robotic Vehicle,"
            Richard Marks, Mike Lee and Stephen Rock, Monterey Bay
            Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) & Stanford University, USA.

     10:00 "Autonomous Underwater Vehicles of the University of Tokyo,"
            Tamaki Ura, University of Tokyo, Japan.

     11:00  break

    If possible we hope to add a bonus talk:

     12:00  "Autonomous Ocean Sampling Networks (AOSNs) and MIT AUV Operations
            in the Arctic Ocean," James Bellingham, Massachusetts Institute of
            Technology (MIT) Sea Grant, USA.

    We had planned on providing live demonstrations by underwater robotics 
    laboratories at various labs worldwide.  Unfortunately it appears as if
    our remote sites are only able to participate as receivers, not 
    broadcasters.

    Aside from Interop, we request that other sites avoid scheduling MBONE 
    events during this period on May 6.  

    Attendance at the workshop is by invitation.  Workshop inquiries may be sent
    to Michael Lee, MBARI, 160 Central Avenue, Pacific Grove CA 93950 USA

    Thanks in advance & best regards.
