project running at the University of Patras. In this project - which is co-funded by the
European Union - our team is responsible for the development of the Advanced
Network Services over the Campus Network, which is being established during the
project. In the following chapters we first present the general perspective and the
architecture of the integrated system which offers the set of advanced services to the
University community. We then describe in detail the different services (WWW and
Intranet, On-line teletraining, Computer supported cooperative work, and Off-line
teletraining). A key characteristic of the system is the integration of existing
commercial tools, with tools that we are developing for the specific needs of the
foreseen users. It is evident that this system can be considered as a pilot project for
large and demanding user communities, as is the case with the University of Patras.1 aBouras, Christos1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aTriantafillou, Vasilis1 aGarofalakis, J1 aTsaknakis, J1 aTzimas, J1 aTsakalidis, A1 aAntoniou, I1 aKarageorgopoylos, D1 aBasiliadis, B1 aKappos, P  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/design-and-development-advanced-network-services-over-patras-university-campus-network?language=el01241nas a2200145   4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260002800153520072600181100002100907700001900928700001500947700001600962856011700978       1997                        eng d00aEnabling Distance Education over the World Wide Web0 aEnabling Distance Education over the World Wide Web  c31 Octiber - 5 November3 aThe recent advancements in the field of the information and communication technology
resulted in a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution. The basis of this revolution
is the information and the value it has as the pure expression of human knowledge. The
technological advancements offer us the ability to process, store, retrieve and transmit
information in multiple formats (text, sound, image, video) independently of time, volume
and distance. In this paper we present the technology that is required and an architecture for
the realization of distance education over the World Wide Web. We also address some basic
aspects of the users’ needs that every software tool for distance education should meet.1 aBouras, Christos1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aLampsas, P1 aAntoniou, I  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/enabling-distance-education-over-world-wide-web?language=el01559nas a2200193   4500008004100000245007400041210006900115260001600184300001300200520088400213100002101097700002301118700001901141700001401160700001601174700001601190700002401206856013501230       1997                        eng d00aHermes Service: Distributed Hypermedia Educational Services on Demand0 aHermes Service Distributed Hypermedia Educational Services on De  c14 - 19 Jne  a 19 - 243 aIn this paper we present a distributed HypERMEdia SERVICE
(HERMES SERVICE) which supports integrated capabilities for distance
education and learning purposes. Hermes service consists of hermes servers
and hermes browsers. The users are connected with the service using hermes
browsers and retrieve hypermedia lessons organised in thematical units. The
lessons are stored in various distributed Hermes servers which retrieve the
requested lesson and transmit it to the corresponding browser on on-demand
basis. The requested lesson is presented to the user according to a well defined
presentation scenario. The media objects are rendered in a synchronized
manner according to the spatio-temporal relationships existing among them.
Finally, special monitoring mechanism controls the state of the network and
adjusts the presentation process so as to improve presentation quality.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKapoulas, Vaggelis1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aMoiras, D1 aOuzounis, V1 aAntoniou, I1 aKarageorgopoylos, D  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/hermes-service-distributed-hypermedia-educational-services-demand?language=el01071nas a2200169   4500008004100000245006100041210005900102260001700161300001300178520050300191100002100694700001900715700001400734700001600748700001600764856012100780       1997                        eng d00aHY-MOST: HYpermedia MOdel for Synchronised presenTations0 aHYMOST HYpermedia MOdel for Synchronised presenTations  c6 - 11 April  a 18 - 233 aA brief abstract. In this paper we present a new model for
hypermedia presentations. This model is based on an
HTML-like language which provides the necessary modules
for the intermedia synchronisation of the inline media that
comprise the hypermedia document. The model also enables
a distributed approach in the storage of the hypermedia
documents. Additionally, it is capable of incorporating the
necessary protocols needed for the real-time delivery of
continuous media such as audio and video.1 aBouras, Christos1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aMoiras, D1 aOuzounis, V1 aAntoniou, I  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/hy-most-hypermedia-model-synchronised-presentations?language=el
