@conference {2841, title = {The Design and Development of Advanced Network Services over the Patras University Campus Network}, booktitle = {5th International Conference on Computers in Education-ICCE 97, Sarawak, Malaysia}, year = {1997}, month = {2 - 6 December}, pages = { 420 - 427}, abstract = {This paper presents some results of the initial phases of a big internal project running at the University of Patras. In this project - which is co-funded by the European Union - our team is responsible for the development of the Advanced Network Services over the Campus Network, which is being established during the project. In the following chapters we first present the general perspective and the architecture of the integrated system which offers the set of advanced services to the University community. We then describe in detail the different services (WWW and Intranet, On-line teletraining, Computer supported cooperative work, and Off-line teletraining). A key characteristic of the system is the integration of existing commercial tools, with tools that we are developing for the specific needs of the foreseen users. It is evident that this system can be considered as a pilot project for large and demanding user communities, as is the case with the University of Patras.}, author = {Christos Bouras and Paul Spirakis and Vasilis Triantafillou and J Garofalakis and J Tsaknakis and J Tzimas and A Tsakalidis and I Antoniou and D Karageorgopoylos and B Basiliadis and P Kappos} }
