- How to bring Research Networking into the year 2000 -
RARE Working Group/ RARE Technical Committee open plenary session on
the introduction of new applications on the network and proposals for
the EC 4th Framework Telematics programme.
INVITATION TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
In case you hadn't noticed, a new age in networking has started.
Information Super Highway and MultiMedia are buzzwords that make the
newspapers every day. The Internet and associated research networks
have been designated by the US Vice President Al Gore as: "The
prototype of the future in networking".
To make sure that research networks and associated networks in Europe
keep that leading edge, and that we develop, test and implement
applications and services that can evolve into the European
Information Super Highway, it is essential that ongoing network
developments in Europe are coordinated.
The Rare Technical Committee (RTC) aims at establishing a set of pan
European co-ordination projects, building upon existing and future
national/network/organizational initiatives and involving industry.
These coordination projects will hopefully promote the advancement of
interworking new applications and services in European networking. It
is intended that these projects will also be submitted as proposals
to the EC as a response to a call for proposals for Telematics for
Research (part of the 4th Framework programme) to apply for matching
funding.
This plenary meeting is meant as a kick-off for this RTC initiative.
Several people will share their views on this initiative, and how it
ties in with the European Commissions 4th Framework initiative. After
these short presentations there will be a discussion with all
attendees on the feasibility of this initiative and on a possible
structure for the coordination projects.
