Second International Summer School on
Advanced Broadband Communications
ATM Enabling the 21st Century Organisation.
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.
Although more sites will join to SS'94, open registration will only exist at
the ETSI Telecomunicacion of the Technical University of Madrid in Spain and
at the Universidade de Aveiro in Portugal.
In addition to ISABEL-IBER interconnecting RIA of Telecom Portugal and RECIBA
of Telefonica, it will be used the CIBELES (Telefonica) infrastructure and the
PLANBA ATM LAN at the ETSI Telecomunicacion in Madrid, as well as the
campus-wide ROBL broadband network of the University of Aveiro.
Additional feasibility studies are underway with RACE projects CATALYST,
EXPLOIT, BETEUS and the Spanish National tele-education satellite project
ETSIT to broadcast SS'94 to sites in Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany and
possibly other European countries.
==============================================================================
OBJECTIVES
Business Communication - either for large corporations or small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) - is considered as the main driving force for the short
term introduction of IBC (Integrated Broadband Communications). These
requirements will have a strong impact in the strategy of most PNOs, equipment
suppliers, users, ...
This year the Summer School (SS'94) is targeted at training public operators
and suppliers for their new role in competitive business with major
responsabilities in meeting user needs within SMEs and corporate
communications. The Summer School also aims at assisting user organisations
to frame the relevant issues for the potential development of broadband
communications applications and be in a position to address implementation
issues & supplier relationships.
==============================================================================
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The 1994 Summer School is targeted at any person requiring a comprehensive
overview of Advanced Broadband Communications focussed on corporate needs and
SMEs. In particular:
o Telecommunications/IT managers of medium/large enterprises.
o Telecommunication engineers of public operators.
o Senior communications/IT staff.
o Telecommunication consultants.
o Software suppliers of communication applications.
o Researchers interested in the field of broadband communications.

MADRID
Madrid, the lively and beautiful capital of Spain, is located in the heart of
the country and offers plenty of exciting choices to the visitor. On the one
hand, the city has plenty of worldwide known museums, monuments and a restless
cultural life. On the other hand, night life is also a strong point of Madrid,
especially in July when holidays are starting and hundreds of outdoor pubs and
restaurants offer their delights along the so-called "Madrilenian coast" till
deep into the night. Historical sites such as Toledo, Segovia, Avila,
Aranjuez, ... can be reached within 1 hour from Madrid. Even Sevilla
or Cordoba can be reached in less than 2h30min with the new high speed train.
==============================================================================
AVEIRO
Aveiro is a charming University Town located on the Portuguese coast 70km
south of Oporto. It is easily reached from all European capitals by frequent
air services to Oporto and Lisbon and has good train/autoroute connections to
both cities. Aveiro is the center of the beautiful "Rota da Luz", literally
the "Light Route". A region full of contrasts, where land and water merge
together, thanks to the waters of the inlet called "Ria", a vast space ideally
suited to nautic activities. At the same time the town enjoys an exciting
night atmosphere, proper of a university population.....
