Dr. Giovanni Pau, a research scientist from the Network Research Lab
of the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA), served as the main lecturer of the class. His work
comprises vehicular networks and mobile computer network environments,
including both wired and wireless (ad hoc) networks, with a focus on
the design, implementation, and performance evaluation.
The 20th ASCS saw 36 participants, mostly graduate students and
researchers from universities, institutions and organizations in the
field of information technology and computer science. The 20th Asian
School is also one of the pre-conference activities of Asian Internet
Engineering Conference (AINTEC) 2009 which was held subsequently on
18-20 November 2009 in Pullman Bangkok King Power.
CanalAVIST broadcast the 20th ASCS to remote participants from Konkuk
University (Korea), University of Sydney (Australia), University of
Indonesia and with the help of School of Internet Asia Project, to
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET Bangladesh).
CanalAVIST utilized high quality digital video (DVTS) and Mobile VClass
which was developed in intERLab, AIT. An additional 23 participants
joined the class remotely through live streaming: seven from Korea, 13
from Indonesia three from Bangladesh.
CanaAVIST streams high quality video through the Euro-Asian high speed
research and education network TEIN3
in the ASEAN region and worldwide to deliver a top-quality remote
presence experience to higher education and research institutions in an
efficient and affordable manner. A part of the ASEAN Virtual Institute
of Science and Technology (AVIST), and the ASEAN Science and Technology
Research and Education Network Alliance (ASTRENA) under the ASEAN
Committee for Science and Technology, CanalAVIST provides channels for
seamless education, teaching, training, conferencing, lectures and
talks through ASEAN countries and beyond, for researchers and
students.
