Visual communication

NOT this way Remote procedure call (RPC) is a technology that allows a computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in another address space (commonly on another computer on a shared network) without the programmer explicitly coding the details for this remote interaction. That is, the programmer would write essentially the same code whether the subroutine is local to the executing program, or remote. When the software in question is written using object-oriented principles, RPC may be referred to as remote invocation or remote method invocation. The idea of RPC goes back at least as far as 1976, when it was described in RFC 707. One of the first business uses of RPC was by Xerox under the name "Courier" in 1981. The first popular implementation of RPC on Unix was Sun's RPC (now called ONC RPC), used as the basis for Sun's NFS. ONC RPC is still widely used today on several platforms.

1. PREPARE Research + documenting Sketch Organize Taking into consideration: subject, audience, time (!) Sketch Organize Plan and prepare visual effects

Slides Title/author/affiliation – 1 slide Abstract – idea / summary – 1 slide Agenda – 1 slide Fundamentals Motivation + problem statement 1-2 slides “related work” – 0-1 slide Method – 1-3 slides Results 4-6 slides Summary + conclusions – 0-1 slide Extra slides (for questions)

Slides – layout, style, a.s.o. You should use adequate page layout for each slide You may use header and footer to put title, name, no of slide It is recommended to have 3-5 ideas on each slide Do not write sentences (long); instead just write ideas Decide the characteristics of characters: color, size, font
