Programme

  1. an introduction to interactive key technology, covering all (or most) types of electronic identification systems
  2. key building for random-access keys - the process, tricks and traps, structural issues to consider, timings etc
  3. an introduction to the Lucid Player - features, keys, data requirements
  4. a hands-on session in key building using the Lucid Builder.

This workshop includes a practical "hands-on" session where users are welcome to try out "Lucid" using their own data sets. Transport will be available from the forum hotels (Vitoria Indaiatuba and Ibis Indaiatuba) to the EMBRAPA laboratory at the UNICAMP campus where the workshop will be held.
