Introducing MTT-S IMS 2009 Virtual Participation
Matt Morton, IMS 2009 Virtual Participation Committee

How many technical presentations or workshops were you unable to attend during prior IMS conferences, because of scheduling conflicts? Have you ever missed information conveyed verbally during a presentation, only to later realize an important aspect had been missed? Has your target audience ever been diminished in number, because of a concurrent conference event? With the large number of high-quality events happening simultaneously at IMS, these scenarios are often a reality. The Virtual Participation Committee is working hard to provide solutions to these problems for IMS2009, implementing a new capability for on-demand replay of technical paper presentations, workshops, short courses, and other components of the conference — serving as a valuable resource for conference attendees, and enabling non-attendees to experience the sights and sounds of IMS2009.

Boston: An Engineering Success Story
David Vye,
2009 Steering Committee Member & IMS Insider Editor
Among the earliest engineering projects to come to Boston was undoubtedly the civil engineering that transformed the landscape of the city itself. Boston began as an irregular, spidery-shaped peninsula (practically an island) consisting of three peaks that rose out of the harbor. These peaks were Fort Hill, Copps Hill and Trimount (consisting of three hills itself - Pemberton, Beacon and Mt. Vernon). The North End (which would become known as the Italian section of Boston) was itself a peninsula (Shawmut) distinct from the rest of Boston.
