2002 - cesnet

6.4.3 Support of Special EventsAmong other events which we helped organise or support, there are:• Open Weekend II, second series of lectures focusing on security in opensystems (Prague),• Genetics after Genome EMBO Workshop, a conference concerning genetics(Brno),• ISIR, an international symposium concerning intervention radiology(Prague).During these events, CESNET provided connectivity and project researchersimplemented audiovisual transmission in collaboration with project Platformsfor Streaming.6.5 Future PlansProject is aimed to further develop a system for the support of long-distancecollaboration using multimedia applications, with different requirements onquality of audio and video transmission. The purpose is utilize further developmentof videoconference systems, video tools and tools for desktop sharing,and cover various areas of collaboration, from cooperating individuals to interconnectedspecialised centres.We plan to continue in further solution of issues solved in 2002. We would particularlylike to focus on the following areas:• Platforms for the transmission of audio and video signals at a high quality.We will select the suitable platforms for the transmission of AV signals athigh quality, in order to use these technologies for the connection of AccessGrid Point, videoconference and lecture rooms.• 3D imaging and synchronized broadcasting. We would like to check theinteroperability with the existing implementations in vic with H.261 andH.363 protocols and with the use of the RUM reflector. In addition, we planto check the possibilities of a 3D output from specialised programs for scientificcomputing.• Support for pilot groups using videoconference tools. As during the previousperiod, we would like to ensure close collaboration and support withselected groups of users. We plan to suggest an effective form of feedback,indicating the problematic points in the use of videoconference tools andenable their targeted modification.• AGP and Personal Interface to Grid (PIG) and their use for teaching purposes.We will complete the realization of AGP and PIG at FI MU Brno94 High-speed National Research Network and its New Applications 2002
