Introductory notes Keynote Speakers From N4C |
Ewa Gunnarsson Professor, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden Avri Doria Independent consultant based in USA, and Professor at LTU Antonio Dias de Figueiredo Independant Consultant, Portugal Patrik Fältström Distinguished Consulting Engineer, CISCO, Sweden Kurt Aagaard Nielsen Professor, Roskilde University, Denmark The conference theme refers to two aspects of the N4C work. One aspect is the experimental character of N4C, and the field tests in remote locations in Sweden and Slovenia. We have combined this approach with more established methods, to gain experience and feedback to our technical designs, but also as means to evaluate and rethink taken for granted methodologies. Secondly, N4C is one among a tradition of projects with an explicit agenda of socio-economical goals intrinsic in technical development. From the overall architecture to details such as the development of applications prototypes and in the choice of open source as platform, we have aimed at being useful for communications challenged communities in particular. These aspects will be portrayed in the N4C presentations that will be broadcast directly from Partners’ locations, and we invite your questions and ideas in respect to our ideas and results. |
