Japan-Singapre Joint Research

International Joint Research and Experiments

Japan-Singapore Joint Research

An agreement on the APII test-bed project was made in the managers-level talk between the Ministry of Posts and Telecommnunications of Japan and Singapore in February 1998.

The points of agreement were as follows:

Duration of Project:	Until March 2001
Line Speed:	2 Mbps
Applications	9 proposals approved

List of Candidates for Application Experiments
Category Title of Experiment Brief Description of Experiment

Future Internet Technology RSVP Backbone Establishment To establish a RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) Backbone Establishment for multimedia application on Internet.

Network Performance Measurements and Characterization To explore System Development of Network Performance Measurement and Characterization for Traffic.

Mbone To establish a Mbone (Multicast Backbone) system development for High Performance Applications.

Network Interoperablility Testing To exchange testing and experimentation methodology, research tools and findings.

IPv6 Protocol and other Internet technologies To explore experimentation with and development of Next Generation Internet middleware and applications, especially over long distances.

Future International Research Infrustructure Technology MVL (Multimedia Virtual Laboratory) The MVL represents a system, which produces the same results as if they were engaged in research activities at a single laboratory, connecting geographically distributed researchers with a high-speed network, in order to promote world wide collaborative research.

Tele-medicine Tele-medicine Experiment To create a pilot telemedicine test-bed for teleradiology, telepathology and teleconsultaion.

Multimedia Applications Bioinformatics Applications To set up a bilateral experimental linkage to carry out large scale integration of molecular biology and biotechnology databases and will enable project participants from both sides to create a distributed biocomputational infrastructure.

Advanced Multimedia Applications To jointly develop advanced multimedia applications and services and to perform field trials in both countries. Applications may include video conferencing, video-on-demand and browsers transmission of large graphical image.
