This page provides a summary of the projects formerly supported by Telematics for Research. Links are provided to fact sheets
and project home pages (where available).
This project promoted the development of networked relationships
between universities, laboratories and science parks by developing a
structured information model. The aim was to integrate telematics
services such as directory and navigation systems with collaborative
working environments. ADVISER has been succeeded by the ADVISER II
project.
This project was validating a service that allowed synchronous
sharing of multimedia information. The project combined the advantages
of the WWW with the real-time communication capabilities of JVTOS (Joint
Viewing and Teleoperation Service), a group communication and
collaboration service developed in the RACE proposal CIO. CoBrow has
been succeeded by the CoBrow/D
project.
This project aimed to establish an integrated multimedia information
service on the European part of the Internet using existing tools, and
adding to these where necessary. Management and Quality Assurance would
be given special attention. DESIRE has been succeeded by the DESIRE II project. More info: see the Home Page.
This project provided facilities to demonstrate TAP project results,
and to support technical reviews, dissemination and concertation
activities. EuroDemo is still running. More info: see the Home
Page.
This project started development, in accordance with general
security concepts being developed on the Internet, of a large-scale
public key certification infrastructure. The results of the VALUE II
PASSWORD project were the basis for this project. ICE-TEL has been
succeeded by the ICE-CAR project. More info: see the Home Page.
JAMES (Joint ATM Experiment on European Services) was a
collaborative project between European network operators to research the
use of ATM technology for broadband networks. The project built on the
infrastructure and experiments of the European ATM Pilot and aimed to
develop a Europe-wide ATM-based interconnection structure together with
associated experimental services for trial purposes. Home Page no longer available.
This project aimed to demonstrate the benefits of CSCW tools for
making research more effective. It intended to demonstrate more
effective mechanisms for distributed group collaboration with radar
altimetry data for climate related studies and detection of submarine
earth resources. Home Page no longer available.
This project aimed to integrate technology components to allow
proper development of the tools for multimedia collaboration. These
components would be demonstrated and made available to other projects in
order to be validated in user environments. The project was based on the
results coming from the earlier Community funded MICE project. MERCI has
been succeeded by the MECCANO
project. More info: see the Home
Page.
This project developed systems that would allow astronomic users to
remotely operate telescopes and associated instrumentation in
real-time. REMOT has been succeeded by the DYNACORE project. More info: see the Home
Page.
This project provided concertation between Telematics for Research
participants and relevant networking organisations. It also provided an
information point for disseminating results from the individual
projects. SCIMITAR has been succeeded by the SCIMITAR 2 project.
This project aimed to deploy a network to interconnect the National
Research Networks in Europe at 34 Mbps using ATM VPs and IP. The JAMES
project's experimental ATM network would also used to validate new
developments and features before introduction into production
services. TEN-34 has been succeeded by the QUANTUM project. More info: see the Home
Page.
This project aimed to establish a service for multimedia
asynchronous group communication, including multimedia e-mail. Advanced
functionality included linking a discussion group to a Web page, support
for multilingual discussions, inquiry tools, intelligent filters and
security features. More info: see the Home
Page.
