Network Access Event
3rd November 2009
Mayfair Conference Centre
17 Connaught Place, London W2 2ES
On 3rd November, JANET(UK) will hold a one day Network Access Conference at the Mayfair Conference Centre, London.
Network Access is a broad heading, covering functions at the edge of the network relating to last mile connectivity, aspects of authentication, authorisation and endpoint assurance, and usability. Increasingly the user experience of resources in the core is filtered through the qualities of the edge connection they receive outside of the typical desktop environment. JANET(UK)’s mission in this area is to extend the edge of the network into learning and social spaces outside the campus, to foster mobility within and between networked environments, and to deliver JANET content and resources to the user whenever desired and wherever they may be.
The event will consist of presentations on recently-completed network access projects, the forthcoming programme of research, and updates on relevant technological developments. We will also invite delegates during the afternoon session to comment upon the future strategic direction of the network access programme and highlight any areas they would like to see covered in our work. The programme is not overly technical, and is suitable both to operational and managerial IT staff.
Overall, the event will serve as an update on JANET(UK)’s work in this area, a chance to directly influence it’s future direction, and a forum to meet with colleagues from other organisations facing similar challenges.
Please note that this event is only open to delegates from organisations with a Primary JANET connection as it is a project funded event.
