gMan in HASTAC 2010: Grand Challenges and Global Innovations Conference

"A six-minute screencast that illustrates the use of gMan VRE in the Ecosystem VO has accompanied King's College' Stuart Dunn's keynote talk for the HASTAC 2010: Grand Challenges and Global Innovations Conference. 

Held April 15-17 and hosted by the Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts, and Social Science at the University of Illinois, HASTAC was an entirely virtual event held in a multiplicity of digital spaces instigated from sites across the globe. This year, the conference focused on grand challenges and global innovations in the form of technologies, research, teaching, and inquiry that can be leveraged across personal, physical, geographical, institutional, disciplinary, and organizational boundaries. 

Key issues were: what are the influences of virtual spaces that can transcend boundaries to impact global innovations?  How will the next generation of digital technologies alter personal, physical, geographical, institutional, disciplinary, and organizational boundaries?  What are the grand challenges in humanities, arts, and sciences that will shape the next generation of global innovation?

Entitled "Beyond e-Science: Methodological Commons and Practical Applications for Advanced Computing in the Humanities", Stuart Dunn's keynote was themed on the collaborative application of advanced computational technologies across to domains in the Arts and Humanities, and used the gMan screencast as an illustrataton how such technologies are applied in the practice of Digital Humanities. The screencast was prepared by Gerhard Brey from King's College and is available for streaming or download here."
