It focuses on the practical and experimental aspects of high performance networks and introduces novel approaches and concepts aimed at improving the performance, usability, interoperability and scalability of such systems. Among others, the topics covered include:
  • Java applets and applications;
  • distributed virtual environments;
  • new internet streaming protocols;
  • web telecollaboration tools;
  • Internet, Intranet;
  • real-time services like multimedia;
