	abstract = {In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a
network monitoring analysis tool. The network resources
were configured to support SNMP under various operating
systems, thresholds definitions and events. The data were
collected by a network monitoring system and handled
according to the values of the variables or the event type. A
real- time report to a database was established via adaptive
scripts. A Network Node Manager (NNM) will inform an
external, remote database about the network status by
sending real time data containing alerts and events. The
whole tool is called Network Management Analysis Tool
(NMAT).},

	abstract = {It is stated that the new version of the IP protocol, IPv6, is
the answer to the majority of the problems that were raised
during the enormous expansion of the Internet and its
transformation to a global communication platform with
commercial scope. At the same time it is also stated that
IPv6 dominance will not be easy and there will be a period
when the two versions of the protocol will co-exist. In this
paper we describe some of the main transition mechanisms
that can be deployed in order to facilitate the transition
process to the new version of the IP protocol. Furthermore,
the presented mechanisms are discussed regarding their
usability, usefulness and manageability. Describes the way
some of these mechanisms were applied to the Greek
Research \& Technology Network (GRNET).},

There are two major issues that have to be considered when designing and implementing such a simulation tool, the reliability evaluation and the user {\textquotedblleft}friendly{\textquotedblright} environment. In our application we use a mechanism exploiting Intranet technology to stress the tested network and confirm the performance, proper operation and delay issues. We have also implemented an easy interaction with the user considering the creation of the scenarios and the presentation of the simulation results, pointing out the problems and the network{\textquoteright}s status. Finally, we examined through a number of experiments using different simulation scenarios the behavior of the Intranet by load balancing the simulated users.},

The main goals of a transition strategy are to be smooth enough and therefore to put the less of configuration overhead to the end users and the network administrators.},

Action "Operational Program for the Education and Initial Vocational Training - Odysseia".
Computer Technology Institute (CTI) has the responsibility for the design and the
implementation of the project. On the basis of the influence of the networking technologies to
the educational activities and according to the international experience, the usage of the
network to the educational procedure acts as knowledgeable object, information source,
learning tool and communication tool. The main object of the project is the implementation of
a network infrastructure for the interconnection of school laboratories and educational
administration offices and the provision of network services in a wide range. It forms a closed
educational network, which is based on the Greek educational and research backbone network
(GRNET). The Greek school network statistics show that the students prefer the Greek
Domain. The educational units of the Greek School Network still act more as consumers than
as creators in the information society.},
