Proceedings of the

NASA Virtual Iron Bird Workshop

March 31 - April 2, 2004

The workshop took place from March 31 to April 2, 2004. Proceedings were published on a website at the NASA Ames Research Center, with PDFs and videos of the presentations. Recordings were made with the Quindi software which cross referenced Powerpoint slides to video timestamps.

Unfortunately, a few years later NASA deleted the website and was unable to find any backups. This was doubly bad for all the authors, as their citations ceased to work.

At the end of 2021 I discovered a DVD copy of the media files while cleaning out my garage. This website is not a direct copy of the original, it's updated to be a compendium of all of the material from the workshop. Also, the Quindi software is long obsolete, so videos have been converted. Original email addresses are also obsolete so working links have been inserted.
