Hewlett-Packard Science Lectures
These seminars were multicast from UCL. The first three were multicast
via a TEN-155 VPN link to INRIA and then via the INRIA DBS satellite
facility provided by EUTELSAT.
This facility has been used by MECCANO to experiment with high bandwidth
multimedia conferencing tools for education and research. The last was
transmitted using the normal European Mbone.
The seminars are video recordings of the original seminars given to
MECCANO partner Hewlett-Packard's
Basic Research Institute in the Mathematical Sciences (BRIMS) in Bristol
in 1997 and 1998.
