BRIEF OVERALL PROJECT SUMMARY:

This project conducts R&D on parallel processing technology and directory technology for the development of applications which, on Broadband ISDN, utilize effectively image databases set-up in dispersed multi- sites.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

This project contributes to the establishment of an electronic museum/art museum system by conducting R&D on parallel processing technology and directory technology.

EXPECTED/ACTUAL RESULTS:

To realize advanced visual telecommunications among multi-sites where image databases are placed and to develop an electronic museum/art museum system, by conducting R&D on the parallel processing technology which searches image data in parallel from image databases dispersed in multi-sites through broadband network and the directory technology which manages each database.

PARTNERS/ACTORS IN THE PROJECT:

Telecommunications Advancement Organization of Japan.

USE OF INFORMATION/TELEMATIC TECHNOLOGIES:

Parallel processing technology and directory technologies.

BENEFITS TO THE INFORMATION SOCIETY:

Establishment of electronic museum/art museum systems which anyone can access freely.

EXPECTED COST:

3.3 billion yen (the 2nd supplementary budget in FY 1995).
