Re: Updating the priorities for Telematics for Research

The cruicial question is what tax-payers funding should cover if at all in the IT-sector. To some extent EU-funds is replacing risk capital. To some extent it replaces market incentive. How many "distance education" projects is needed to develop a market? What are the "real issues" not covered in the industry developed products? My view of this is the conceptual solutions. The market tries to build secluded Islands of information services and concepts. Today based on the Web with gateways to traditional databases. In my opinion we need to etablish the true concept of distributed open information services. To do this we need experiments with different concepts and trials. What we don´t need is individual project projects with goals such as finding "European standards for x, y, z etc" --mats -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mats Brunell Stiftelsen för Kunskaps- och Kompetensutveckling Kungsgatan 28, 4 tr Box 3222 Tel: +46 8 14 49 45 S-103 64 Stockholm Fax: +46 8 24 75 09 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

complete hostcount for February 1996
by Mirjam Kuehne 15 Mar '96

15 Mar '96

Dear all, Here is the complete hostcount for February 1996. I am sorry for the delay. The table shows an increase since last month of more than 120,000 (or 5.3%) to a total of more than 2,406,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. The UK shows the highest increase for February with more than 24,000 hosts more than in January (Hence, my assumption was wrong that DE would make it this month :-). As I mentioned in my previous mail SM (San Marino) is a new zone and will from now on be inlcuded every month in the hostcount. The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <winkler(a)cc.univie.ac.at> be Herman Moons <Herman.Moons(a)CS.kuleuven.ac.be> ch Christoph Graf <graf(a)chx400.switch.ch> cy Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert(a)dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fi Petri Ojala <ojala(a)eunet.fi> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric(a)stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg(a)sztaki.hu> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason(a)NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Irek Neska <irek(a)nask.pl> pt Graca Carvalho <fccn(a)dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)argo.net.kiae.su> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak(a)Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Updating the priorities for Telematics for Research
by WINTLEV-JENSEN Peter 07 Mar '96

07 Mar '96

There is a need to assess the priorities for the future calls of the Telematics for Research Sector of the EU TELEMATICS APPLICATIONS Research and Technology Development Programme (URL: http://www.echo.lu/telematics/telehome.html) The technical evolution is moving very rapidly and the increasing commercialisation of the Internet technologies adds additional complexity to the setting of priorities for this sector. The main objective is still to promote the development, deployment and utilisation of telematics services and applications for European researchers in order to increase the possibility for collaboration and the overall cost-effectiveness of research. However, it needs to be ensured that EU support is adding value to existing and planned initiatives in this domain, whether funded from national public or commercial sources. Therefore a consultation should allow for an open framework for ideas and suggestions from all actors within the Telematics for Research sector of the programme. We would like to invite you to participate in this and ask you to recommend priorities for future calls for proposals in order to ensure that the available remaining EU funding in this sector can be used in the best possible way with a view to meeting the overall objectives of the initiative. The objective of this exercise is to obtain input for the future evolution of Telematics for Research and correlate this with the existing workplan for the sector, with a view to assigning priorities across the different work sectors. It is not expected that the existing workplan needs to be modified. The main objective will rather be to identify specific RTD topics, within the context of the existing workplan, which have emerged since the previous call and which would be complimentary to the activities of the projects which have already been launched. A small report will be produced which will act as a guide for future proposers and which will also be used as background information for the evaluators used in the evaluation of proposals. The assignment of priorities must be achieved with active participation and consultation of the Telematics for Research sector actors, including user representatives. The report should contain recommendations for priorities relating to the existing tasks within the workplan and identification of new areas of work within the overall scope of the workplan, which should be addressed in the future calls. This should be done while taking into account the current situation,including both EU and non-EU funded activities, and in close consultation with the research community. At URL: http://www.scimitar.terena.nl/ you will find further information about the Telematics for Research initiative and this exercise.
