IASD conferences online modeled on the PsiberDreaming Conference |
|
Inside the conference bulletin board, attendees will find all the topic "threads", contests, galleries and other events. | When a presentation is selected on the bboard, the first post gives an abstract of the presentation and a link to the paper. | |
|
||
Links to the papers are presented in standard web format, with graphics when needed. | The attendees can then return to the bboard and discuss the paper with the presenter in the same topic thread where the presentation is posted. | |||
|

Besides paper presentations and workshops, art galleries and other presentational materials can be linked directly from the bulletin board. | Though most of the interaction is asynchronous, in that one can read and post replies over time, the conference system can also offer real time text chat for events where people all meet in the "same" screen and can add text to an ongoing dialogue in real time. | |
