Live sharing of lecturer's screen
When a lecture has slides which are webpages that need to be shared between lecture participants, BizBiz provides
a live sharing possibility by capturing and transmitting screenshots.
To activate screen capturing press ”Capture Screen”.Java runtime needs to be present and enabled on the lecturers
computer. If asked to confirm security certificates, answer with ”Yes”.
A window is displayed where you can set screen capture area and control capture status. It also shows how many data has allready
been sent to the server in the form of images.

Live sharing of lecturer's screen
You have to specify which area of the screen you want to capture.
To do this click ”Select rectangle”
In the opened window drag the mouse over the screenshot to move the black rectangle directly over the area that you want to share with
others (probably slide section with a webpage)
When the rectangle is in the right position close area selection window, leave
”Screen capture controller” window in background and continue with your presentation

* A major “grip” for the EU Sustainable Development Strategy
* Applied at the beginning of the policy definition, specially to all major policies.
* “Member States should carry out impact assessments where they use the right of initiative for new legislation. They should also be encouraged to define standards for consultation and impact assessment”
* A driving force for the Sustainability research28th May, 2010

• Based on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) impact rating for ecosystem stability and changes to nature's services
• Decision-makers consider environmental impacts before deciding whether to proceed with new projects

OGC Web Processing Service
OGC’s Web Processing Service is defining the way, geoprocessing operations should be offered over networks using Web Services.
Can be configured to offer any sort of GIS functionality to clients across a network.
Data can be stored on the server, sent with the request or stored on remote servers (WCS, WFS, . . . )
The GIS functionality is referred as process

To achieve meaningful results it is necessary to enter a point on Thalweg.
