and transfer the solution to an operating mode. We will become activelyinvolved in the worldwide network of AGP nodes. We intend to make out aset of tests for 3D projections with the use of the RUM reflector. We also aimat optimising individual scenarios for the use of rooms, with respect to thecurrent potential of the installed technology.• Network support for group communication. As regards MBone tools andthe RUM reflector, we are considering the possibilities of integrating allthe existing adaptations in a unified code. We intend to carry out furtherimprovements of the mirror, e.g., controlled combination of more videostreams in a single image, streaming of videoconferences in progress,possibility of videoconference recording, switching streams between individualconferences and their duplication as a preparation for the mode ofdirected videoconference. Moreover, we are planning to support IPv6, toupgrade hardware in use and to measure performance and scaling of individualversions. As regards the H.323 infrastructure, we will complete thestipulated tasks.• Systems for the support of collaboration. We plan to complete the existingportal for the support of videoconferences with other elements supportingteam collaboration (calendar, sharing files, contacts and bookmarks,integration of discussion forum, procedure planning, monitoring of taskstatus).• Support building of AGP and presentation rooms. During the following period,we intend to make even stronger efforts in order to support buildingof at least one more AGP room. The construction of such a room will benecessary for further development of used technologies. In this respect,our support will consist of education, assistance for design and selectionof components and activation of these rooms.High-speed National Research Network and its New Applications 200295
