Welcome to the Web site of the 5th annual SURA/ViDe workshop. This workshop has grown to be a recognized learning venue providing timely and valuable information on collaborative conferencing, streaming video, and storing/serving video-on-demand. Each year's workshop is more groundbreaking and informative than the previous one, thanks to the increasing participation of ViDe members, presenters, and vendors, and 2003 was certainly no exception to this statement.

The workshop was held at GCATT, the Georgia Centers for Advanced Telecommunication Technologies, in Atlanta, Georgia, March 24-26, 2003.
