SAVE THE DATE: SAGE Meeting at SC14 – Introducing SAGE2

For those attending SC14 in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will hold the annual “Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) for Global Collaboration” Birds of a Feather (BOF):

We will introduce SAGE2™, the next-generation SAGE™, in addition to providing SAGE updates. SAGE2 is browser-based and integrates cloud services, a multi-resolution image viewer, a stereoscopic image viewer, mirrored portals, and network streaming of high-resolution imagery. Like SAGE middleware, SAGE2 is a software framework that enables local and remote collaboration on scalable resolution display walls (from single monitors to a wall of tiled displays) by sharing diverse media content, including 2D and 3D visualizations and applications. One major benefit of browser-based software is that there is no installation requirement for users and it is inherently cross-platform. A user simply needs an up-to-date web browser on the device he/she wishes to use as an interaction tool for the wall. SAGE2 services are essentially brought to the user through the Cloud.

This BOF provides a Forum for the SAGE/SAGE2 developers to meet with the the SAGE global user community and potential users; specifically:

  • to introduce key SAGE/SAGE2 team members
  • to provide an overview of SAGE/SAGE2 roadmaps
  • to review SAGE/SAGE2 capabilities and applications
  • to highlight SAGE/SAGE2 research and education applications
  • to solicit feedback

We are planning SAGE2 demonstrations on the SC14 exhibition floor; more information will be forthcoming.

Together, we can advance scientific research and education by providing production-quality, community-driven open services for visualization and collaboration that utilize shared national and international cyberinfrastructure.

See you at SC14!
