Local WSU Alumnus Works with ISSS

Jack Scherting, Ph.D (WSU, 1970) recently approached his local WSU Learning Center to find a format transfer solution. He needed to convert VHS video-tape of a model demonstrating the dynamics and permutations of 'monads' to digital format. The original version was done at Utah State University in 1992.

The model is to be used as the basis for a presentation at a meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences. The conversion to digital format was necessary to enable a technician in Malaysia to develop an updated, animated version. We outputed a cross-platform accessible copy of the video and hosted it on the web for the overseas technician to use as a template. By using the web to transfer the visual content the problem of getting a physical DVD to Malaysia was solved, saving time and money.
