Development Projects

The aim of the project is to develop a standard wireless system architecture that allows:
- secure, managed connectivity of wireless clients, the so called federated, institution wide mobility
- unified, managed user database
- easy to use and standard communication interfaces with different WLAN service providers
- modification of user profiles of central operators could in respect of accessing resources, web pages, VPN-s, bandwidth, usage time
- the collection of statistical information about network usage, e.g. accountability

There have been lots of developments in the grid and supercomputing research in Hungary. On the basis of previous research a new field of interest emerged; the so called service oriented supercomputing or distributed virtual supercomputer. The new grid services will be based on student laboratory computers. Although the grid and the supercomputing architectures differ significantly, there is convergence between the two fields. The idea is two unify the best sides of the two “worlds” in order create a service oriented architecture that can be managed safely and securely.

The first Hungarian colour film, the "Lúdas Matyi"or Mattie, the Goose-Boy was produced by outstanding Hungarian artists in 1949. As there were not enough copies the film became worn out and already in 1961 it had to be restored for continnous showing in cinemas. More than 5 million people saw the film, which made it one of the 10 most popular films. As the original copies of the film became phisically useless and they lost most of their colours now it was the last minute to begin a new, complete restoration.

The project codenamed Basic Unmanned Station Manager is based on a sensor network consisting of industrial PC-based monitoring hardware boxes that collect basic sensor information such as the temperature, the status of electrical contacts, smoke detectors and door sensors while managing the magnet lock and numeric keypad of the surveyed site. The the sensor network is managed by a central network monitoring node with a graphical user interface.

The Hun-CERT (Hungarian Computer Emergency Response Team) is operated by the Network Security Department. The operation started in 2002 in order to help, coordinate and organize the protection against computer network incidents in cooperation with other CERT teams and other service providers on national and international level. The Hun-CERT investigates incidents and takes measures to avoid further problems. Services are free of charge for anybody and are available via web pages, email and phone.

Participation in the development of fhe SUN ONE Directory Server based distribuduted directory service implemented in the Hungarian Academy Network (HUNGARNET). Operation and support of the directory service.
