Two sessions took place, one dedicated to Video Surveillance and one to Virtual Collaboration, the two integration scenarios identified to guide the integration among the VISNET II Partners. Each session was shaped around an invited speech of a representative from the industry working in the field, a presentation of the related technologies being developed within VISNET II, and a panel session involving people from VISNET II and the industry.
