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.
