  2. ARN Missions The goals : provides the algerian scientific community with • Communication infrastructure • Networks Technology for : • E-library • E-learning • And links with others NERN’s

  3. ARN Organization • The project started at CERIST in 1994 under the approbation of the Ministry in charge of Universities and most of other scientific organizations • Since 2005, the management is shared by members of a committee appointed by the Ministry (Comité National de Pilotage).

  4. Funding Sources • Since 2002, the Ministry is paying for all the institutions belonging to the Ministry under a special presidential fund for boosting economy and research. • Since May 2004 CERIST has got funds from EC for the connection to GEANT under the Eumedconnect Project. This funds cover 80% of the total cost and 20% are Algerian funds.

  5. WHAT IS THE ACADEMIC & RESEARCH NETWORK ARN? • Today 69 sites are connected : • 25 universities (from which 6 very big universities) • 10 university centres • 11 high institutes and engineering schools • 12 research centres • 11 others scientific institutions (not managed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research) • Using a capacity : • 2M for 60 sites • 3M for 6 sites • 5M for 1 site (Univ. Béjaia) • 6M for 2 sites (l’USTHB and USTO)

  6. ARN Architecture • Four PoPs with high capacity supports : • Algiers : 622 Mbps + Sat Station • Constantine : 155 Mbps + Sat Station • Oran : 155 Mbps + Sat Station • Ouargla : 2 Mbps • 45 Mbps to GEANT through the Madrid GEANT PoP since 19th April 2004 and 155 Mbps since May 2005

  9. ARN other activities • National Theses Fund (latin and arabic PDF format) about 3000 are treated, national catalogs, etc. Research activities (scientific conferences announcements, publications, periodic seminars, STI spreading, etc.). • Open and free software data base: • freesoft.cersist.dz is working & waiting for your contribution • Teaching activities (pedagogical plannings, text courses, specialities, LMD, etc.) • Informations (institutions, scientific associations, ministry, etc.) • Euromed cooperation with direct links (EUMEDIS, FP6, ..) and international scientific relations between laboratories and institutions

  10. 2005 – ARN 3 • Upgrade all capacities for most of institutions : • 10 universities up to 34 Mbps • 16 universities up to 8 Mbps • 5 university centres up to 8 Mbps • 8 university centres up to 2 Mbps • 1 high school up to 34 Mbps • 4 high schools up to 8 Mbps • 11 high schools and institutes up to 2 Mbps • 5 research centres up to 8 Mbps • 8research centres up to 2 Mbps

  11. 2005 – ARN 3 • Two new PoPs : • Bejaia • Batna • ARN PoPs links : • Alger - Oran : 155 Mbps • Alger - Bejaia : 155 Mbps • Bejaia - Constantine : 155 Mbps • Batna –Constantine : 34 Mbps • And eumedconnect

  12. ARN Portal

  13. ARN – Understanding Usage Policy

  14. What is Eumedconnect ?? • An EC project to connect all the national NREN’s of the medit’an countries through EU’s network GEANT; • Allows direct and closer and powerfull links throughout many concrete projects (better than com’ial Internet). • 8 countries are connected and 3 more are on the verge to be included (Jordan, Syria, Palestine). • Funded up to 80% by EC until june 2006. • The partners are all interrested to the MED/MED and MED/EU collaborations (EUMEDIS, MEDANET, etc.). • ALL participants hope continuation of the financing support after 2006.

  15. CONCLUSION • These specific collaborations and cooperation are badly needed AS MORE COLLABORATIVE ACTIONS ARE EXPECTED AROUND THE EUMED’an AREA, ALLOWING BETTER UNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN COMPLEMENTARY CULTURES AND EXPERIENCES AND SOCIAL STRUCTURES
