Workshop of presentation of the 2010-2011 WG of RNP
The workshop of presentation of the Working Groups (WG) Phase 1 2010-2011 of the National Network of Education and Research (RNP) was held on December 10, 2010. Representatives of the six groups of the first phase presented their proposals for new protocols, services and applications of the computer networks.
Since November 2010 the groups, led by experts from institutions of higher education in different parts of the country, work in a first phase for the creation and validation of the prototype of a new network service.
In the second phase, if approved by the RNP, the prototype should be developed with the purpose of subsequent implementing a pilot service in the national academic network, the network IPE. In 2010-2011, there will be two groups in stage 2: Unit of GT and GT-STCFed (for more information on Phase 2 of the working groups, visit: http://www.rnp.br/pd/ gts2010-2011).
Take a look at the proposals of the Working Groups, Phase 1:
Multiparty system of interoperable access, Web and mobile
Coordinator: Valter Roesler (UFRGS)
The objective is to create a Web conferencing system with the ability to interoperate seamlessly with networked computers and mobile devices connected to telephone networks. The main difference compared to current products is the integrated management system with a collaborative environment that facilitates the location of users, the easy transfer of communications between devices and the ability of self adaptation with the terminal capacity, ranging from simple audio to high-definition video.
GT - Digital Preservation - Digital Preservation with distributed storage
Coordinator: Carlos Luis De Erpen Bona (UFPR)
It aims to provide a digital archiving system based on distributed storage, ensuring preservation and access to data for an indefinite period of time and at low cost. Based on the concept of peer-to-Peer (P2P), this WG justifies his project based on the argument that currently a considerable amount of information is being produced in digital format and this heritage must be preserved.
GT-ReBUS - Access Networks in University Buses
Coordinator: Luis Enrique Maciel Kosmalski Costa (UFRJ)
The group works in the development of a service for Internet access in the college buses for staff, teachers and students. The reason is the success of mobile devices, which are characterized by their high capacity and low cost. In Brazil, sales of smartphones grew 15% in 2009 and it is estimated that by 2013, 900 million of users will have mobile Internet.
GT-SciFi - Intelligent Control System for wireless networks
Coordinator: Luiz Claudio Schara Magalhaes (UFF)
The aim is to create a management service for multiple points of access through an open, free and low cost. Widely installed, the Wi-Fi networks are fighting among themselves and with a wide range of electrical and communication patterns in a limited frequency spectrum. The proliferation of wireless networks IEEE 802.11 tends, ironically, to reduce its effectiveness.
GT-LinkedDataBR - exhibition, exchange and connection of open data sources on the Web (Linked open data)
Coordinator: Maria Luiza Machado Campos (UFRJ)
The group's goal is to develop tools and guidelines related to the exhibition, exchange and networking resources data as Linked Open Data. The idea is to provide to the user a friendly environment for those interested in sharing their data resources and associate them with other existing resources, encouraging the publication of data on the web.
GT-AVCS - Health video collaboration environment
Coordinator: Buenos Tatiana Tavares (UFPB)
The group proposes an infrastructure of hardware and software to securely capture and distribute multiple simultaneous flows of video and audio to provide support for various scenarios of remote collaboration in health. The proposed solution is a low cost alternative and will also allow the transmission of multiple streams originating from different sources, remote management of transmission flows geographically distributed points and the interaction between the connected points. The proposal is to extend the route scope allowing the integration of institutions that do not have specific solutions for video conferencing.
