Figure 6.3: Visualization of outcome and beginning of AccessGrid Node constructionat FI MU.Poznań. During the time of this report, the Laboratory of Network Technologies,Faculty of Informatics, MU Brno has been undergoing some reconstructions,with an AG node installed including a 3D projection. We are also preparing theimplementation of a minimum mobile node. These installations will enable tomaster complicated technologies of AG nodes by the development and userteam, not only in the area of grid computing.6.4 Special Projects and EventsThis year, we have supported several special events.6.4.1 Peregrine Falcons in the Heart of the City2002We resumed the support of similar projects pursued in the past (Peregrine Falconsin the Heart of the City 2001, Millennium Young, Kristýna Live, etc.). Theseare projects organized by Czech Radio, also connected with the CESNET association.This enabled us to cooperate more intensively.The goal of the project titled Peregrine Falcons in the Heart of the City 2002 wasto draw the general public in the project and inform them about the protectionof rare and endangered peregrine falcons and predators in general. In additionto video transmission, the project also resulted in a number of articles (e.g.,Datagram No. 3), presentation of CESNET in connection with this project inpropagation materials of Czech Radio, during broadcasting of Czech Radio andreferences in professional publications about the monitoring of endangeredspecies in the nature.The project also enabled us to verify and adjust the filtering mechanisms of thenew system for the analysis of IPv4 operation (high attendance from all over theworld, usually several thousand accesses a day).
