Madrid, Aveiro, July 11-15, 1994 ============================================================================== The RACE project BRAIN is pleased to announce its "Second International Summer School on Advanced Broadband Communications (ABC)". Following the success of the last year's first distributed Summer School on ABC, this edition will feature new advances in subject matter and use of ATM technologies in a distance education network. This year, participants will explore the contribution of broadband technologies to the world of enterprise and corporate communications. Examining broadband communication requirements with strong emphasis in o Broadband technologies o Telecommunications/IT technologies o System integration aspects o The range of decision making factors o Potential applications this Summer School will allow its participants to gain the knowledge required to assist the migration of organisations towards broadband networking platforms. Each day proposes a coherent theme relating to aspects of business user views of advanced communications leading to a team-based problem-solving "syndicate" sessions using CSCW. The Summer School will provide perspectives of these networking technologies from both the large corporate user to the small and medium-sized enterprise. The syndicate sessions will be based on realistic case studies such as: airline reservation systems; residential business user access to travel information; LAN interconnection for banking; transnational brodband services provision; network for aerospace industry supporting all aspects of design, training, financial,... In addition the Summer School will provide demonstrations of project results. This includes: RACE projects, such as EUROBRIDGE, EXPLOIT, CIO, IBER, PREPARE, CATALYST, RAMA,..; PLANBA projects such as EDUBA, RAL-ATM, etc. ============================================================================== LOCATIONS AND INTERCONNECTION At least four sites will be united in Summer School '94 using a European Community sponsored ISABEL-IBER 34 Mbit/s ATM advanced network o ETSI Telecomunicacion, Madrid-Spain (Central Site) o University of Aveiro, Aveiro-Portugal o CET, Aveiro-Portugal o TIDSA, Madrid-Spain A Multimedia Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) tele-education application will join lecture rooms at different physical sites into a unified virtual lecture room where lecturers and participants join together in a unique, interactive educational experience.
