Advanced Applications
The following SURA and SURA-sponsored projects focus on the development and growth of advanced applications for use within research and education.
 
ViDe (Video Development Initiative)
In 1998, SURA provided seed funding to four SURA member institutions - the Georgia Institute of Technology, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Tennessee - to begin ViDe, the Video Development Initiative. This self-formed group came together as a result of mutual interest in promoting the deployment of digital video within higher education and research by leveraging collective resources and expertise towards addressing current deployment challenges. Since that time, ViDe has expanded to include members from other regions within the U.S. and also international members. ViDe activities have contributed significantly to the successful deployment of digital video in higher education and research. More detail on ViDe and ViDe's current activities is available on the ViDe Web site.

SURA has continued its support for ViDe in subsequent years through targeted funding that contributes to the organizational strength of the group and also directly supports the continuation and enhancement of specific projects.

SURA Advanced Applications Discussion List, i2apps@sura.org
The I2apps discussion list at SURA (formerly "SURAI2ap") has been established with two purposes in mind. The first is to provide a mechanism for SURA to communicate items of interest and relevance to the advanced network application community at SURA member institutions throughout the SURA region. The second, and equally as valuable, is to serve as forum for interactive discussion, Q&A, problem solving, and information sharing within that same community. Proposals for collaboration within advanced application projects are also encouraged. List subscription is open to all anyone who is part of a SURA member institution.
