View the archived webcast of the Mosaic Symposium.
On Tuesday, April 29, 2003, the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
will host five of the nation's leading technologists to explore
the future of computing and networking. This panel discussion
will celebrate the 10th anniversary of NCSA's release of Mosaic,
the world's first freely available graphical Web browser. Mosaic
spurred a revolution
in communications, business, education, and
entertainment that has had a trillion-dollar impact on the global
economy.

Likewise, no one today can say for sure where the next generation
of computing and networking technologies—grids connecting
people, businesses, powerful computers, tools, applications, and
data—will lead us. Telemedicine could save lives. Worldwide
cyberclassrooms might bring cutting-edge technologies to the most
remote parts of the planet. Real-time, online weather forecasting
could help people avoid tornadoes and other deadly storms before
they strike.
This lively, two-hour conversation will cover the past, the present,
and the future of computing and networking innovation. Topics
will range from the impact of Mosaic and its progeny, including
Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer, on society, science,
and business to the panelists' long-term visions of the future
of computing, networking, and technology. The panelists, all well-known
experts in their fields, will identify innovations and trends,
including some that are on the horizon and others that are still
the dreams of big thinkers. The symposium will also give members
of the community the opportunity to ask questions of these exciting
thinkers and innovators.
