DESIRE II

This project is investigating sustainable approaches to search and access multimedia resources. It will continue to enhance the DESIRE I applications that facilitate subject-based search services and regionalised enquiries. There will also be dissemination and demonstration activities to encourage the uptake of these services.

ICE-CAR

This project aims to develop the security technology necessary for administrative, e-commerce, intra-organisation communication and health care applications. It will also promote compatible and interconnectable public key infrastructures (PKIs) which are necessary to guarantee the authenticity and validity of public keys in use.

MECCANO

This project continues the activities of the MERCI project. It aims to improve existing Internet-based conferencing tools for use in collaborative research and distance education. Particular attention is being directed to user interfaces, cross-platform support, integration with end-user applications, and support for resource reservation. Verification activities with the research community are also being undertaken.

Q-MED

This project aims to promote academic networking in the Eastern Mediterranean region by providing a gateway to the TEN-155 network.
More info: see the Home Page.

QUANTUM

This project is deploying a network that interconnects National Research Networks in Europe. The network, known as TEN-155, operates at speeds between 10 and 155 Mbps and offers an IP (Internet Protocol) production service and an ATM VP service for experimental purposes. The project also includes a programme for testing new network technologies.

SCIMITAR 2

This project provides concertation between Telematics for Research participants and relevant networking organisations. It also provides an information point for disseminating results from the individual projects.
More info: see the Home Page.

SELECT

This project is developing tools that are able to rate and filter network resources (such as Web pages, Usenet, mailing lists). It aims to improve the usefulness of the Internet to scientific and technical communities by providing information about the quality of resources.
More info: see the Home Page.

THETIS

The objective of this project is to develop an interoperable system that will assist access and visualisation of data repositories via the Internet. Coastal Zone Management (CZM) is one area where such a system is required and the project will focus on supporting CZM in the Mediterranean Region.
More info: see the Home Page.
