Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
One of the biggest challenges on any fast track project is timely
preconstruction visualization and assurance that the design release
plan continues to support an optimal construction schedule. Risk
potential can be decreased using timely 4D visualization. 4D
scheduling allows the project team and contractors to quickly
visualize installation sequences on a complex project by integrating
thousands of drawings into composite 3D time framed images and
determine the most efficient installation sequences and crane access
to optimize their schedules.Expedition Everest is a high speed train ride adventure through the
majestic Himalayan mountains and over creaking trestles into the
haunts of the legendary Yeti. The Expedition Everest project team had
to closely coordinate construction of the Nepalese Village, the 200
foot tall mountain, the ride system, and the surrounding area
development to maintain crane and installation access.More detail on the construction of the Expedition Everest project can

The Killer Application & Grids P2P and Web Services: The Killer Technologies
Wed, Mar 29, 2006 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
As a new generation of software companies (Google, eBay, Amazon, Electronic Arts) rise to power, they are enabling electronic activities of all sorts in Science, Engineering, Business, Government and social communities. The technology
core includes P2P Networks (as in Kazaa driving Skype) and Grids (from e-Science) and Web services from the previous generation of software companies that often focused on new enterprise software where compatibility with existing major software packages limits innovation.
e-moreorlessanything corresponds to linkage of distributed sensors (web-cams, ATM machines, plane/car engine monitors, seismometers), instruments, people, computers, data repositories to form the global teams needed for tomorrows science, defense, business and fun. We will discuss many applications and technologies.About the Speaker:
Geoffrey Fox is a Professor of Computer Science, Informatics, and Physics and Director of Community Grid Laboratory; Pervasive Technology Laboratories at Indiana University. (More importantly, he has a British accent.)
