Vazeni pratele, CESNET planuje, ze se zapoji do projektu NICE. V ramci tohoto projektu se bude konat multimedialni konference, ktera bude pristupna od utery 9.7. (od 9hod) do 12.7. 1996 v zasedaci mistnosti (3.patro, c.dv. 32), VC CVUT, Zikova 4, Praha 6 (stanice metra Dejvicka). Vstup je bezplatny. Obsahem teto konference je nejnovejsi telekomunikacni technologie a jeji budouci vyvoj. Podrobnejsi informace jsou uvedeny nize. s pozdravem Pavel Cermak VC CVUT ============================================================================== ABC'96 Fourth International Distributed Summer School on Advanced Broadband Communications. 9 - 12 July 1996 MADRID - BRUSSELS - AVEIRO - NAPLES - BERLIN ============================================================================== ABC'96 is the fourth "International Distributed Summer School on Advanced Broadband Communications". ABC'96 is a school on advanced communications, delivered using advanced communications services. It is organised by Project NICE(AC110) in the ACTS Programme, run by Directorate General XIII/B of the Commission of the European Community. ABC'96 follows in the footsteps of the three previous successful International Distributed Summer Schools organised by Project BRAIN (R 2095) in the RACE Programme from 1993 to 1995. Previous Summer Schools were distributed to various sites in Europe in a progressively increasing number over the three years. ABC'96 will now cover 5 main sites - Aveiro, Berlin, Brussels, Madrid and Naples - and will reach various subsidiary sites - Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland. Canada will also be connected to the Summer School. ABC'96 IS A DISTRIBUTED SUMMER SCHOOL The 1996 Summer School will be an international distributed event. Lecture rooms of the different physical main sites will be joined into a single virtual lecture room by a multimedia CSCW (Computer Supported Co-operative Work) tele-education application. Lecturers and participants will interact and work together with full interaction without the sense of geographical separation - in a powerful demonstration of the advantages of tele-presence made possible through the use of broadband technology. The Summer School network will include Terrestrial Trans-European ATM links provided by the ACTS project JAMES, as well as ATM over Satellite links and gateways to narrowband networks such as the Internet. This requires a complex collaboration between several institutions, National Hosts, public network operators and R&D projects. THE THEME OF ABC'96 Presently, Telecommunication Companies are enrolling Software Engineers with an Information Technology background, who have to become acquainted with the Telecommunication Culture. Similarly, Information Technology Companies who are attempting to move into the Telecommunication Market are enrolling Telecommunication Engineers who then need to learn about the Information Technology Culture. ABC'96 is designed to facilitate both cultural transitions and the theme chosen for the 1996 Summer School is : "The convergence of the Engineering Culture between Telecommunications and Information Technology" This theme will be handled in the form of tutorials, lectures, panel discussions, interviews, debates and demonstrations. OBJECTIVES OF ABC'96 ABC'96 will raise the awareness of the business opportunities which advanced broadband communications can offer to the users, PNOs and equipment suppliers. ABC'96 will allow participants to gain knowledge needed to assist in the migration of organisations towards the implementation and use of broadband communication networks and technology. ABC'96 aims at helping user organisations appreciate and understand the issues relevant to the development of applications for broadband communications. ABC'96 is also targeted at training public operators and suppliers for their new role, in the increasingly competitive business world, in meeting the communications needs of users within large corporations as well as in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In the short term it is the business needs of these organisations which will be the main force, driving the introduction of Advanced Broadband Communications. ISSUES ADDRESSED IN ABC'96 Within the theme of Convergence of Engineering cultures, the following issues will be handled : *Information Technology for Telecommunications Engineers Networking and distributed computing techniques Multimedia application systems Structuring application program interfaces using object-oriented techniques *Service and Telecommunications Engineering for Information Technology Engineers Telecommunications management and intelligent networks Mobile telecommunications and access networks Service engineering techniques *Telecommunications and Information System Integration Construction techniques for complex systems Engineering the Information Superhighway Integrating engineering and organisational complexity WHERE DOES ABC'96 TAKE PLACE ? Five main sites will be fully interactive sites for ABC '96 and will host lectures. These will be located in : Belgacom Brussels, B CRIAI Naples, I University of Aveiro Aveiro, P Technical University of Berlin Berlin, D Technical University of Madrid Madrid, E Additionally, subsidiary sites with local audience will also be part of ABC '96. These will be located in : CERN Geneve, SW CNET Paris, F CRC Ottawa, C CSELT Torino, I Euro-National Host Brussels, B KPN Groningen, NL North West Labs Dublin, Irl Politecnico di Torino Torino, I PTI Reykjavik, Ic SICS Stockholm,S Swiss National Host Basel, SW Telefonica I+D Madrid, E Telenor Oslo, N Technical University of Prague, CR University of Demokritos Athens, Gr University of Linz Linz, A Links to most sites will be realised by the new Pan European ATM Network (PEAN), offering bandwidths from 2 to 34 Mbit/s.
