The Client Side Technology Infusion Working Group is looking at issues of data access, analysis, and display in the world outside the Internet browser environment. Today, as it was ten years ago, probably 95% of the scientists who use NASA/NOAA (etc.) data sets do so with commercial software products such as Matlab, IDL, ENVI, or ARCgis.

The New Media Research Institute, as a part of the New Media Studio is a member of the ESIP Federation's Earth Data Discovery Consortium ESIP.
EDDC ESIP

DIAL description

The workshop will cover the code resources that are available and the remaining coding required to customize the authoring environment for your data distribution needs.

The Morning Session will cover an overview of the technology, and hands on with existing modules and prototype applications. The Afternoon Session will be a "Create an Application" from parts supplied, and a discussion about individual needs for further shared code and GUI resources.
