This paper describes the design and implementation of an open and adaptive environment for managing LDAP databases. Our work was mainly focused on the administrative needs of the Greek Schools Network. Albeit we applied considerable effort in order to construct an application that would not be bound on limitations arisen by the specific characteristics of the Greek Schools Network. Such limitations are the directory technology used and the directory schema applied. The result of this effort is a design which is extensible, adaptive to a great variety of LDAP structures and which provides the necessary flexibility to perform even the most demanding administrative tasks.

Enterprise software infrastructure traditionally comprises a number of independent systems in order to support customer needs and business processes complicating this way productivity, performance and maintenance. Instead there are hypermedia facilities based on widespread standards that provide over a user-friendly, well-known framework richer functionality and features. In the paper, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of the combined use of web services and adaptive web-based techniques. We describe a large-scale hypermedia framework that improves the efficiency and performance of conventional enterprise activities like customer services (registration, activation, billing, support) and document management. The presented approach aims to cover these fundamental needs for a network of customers, collaborators and intranet employees.

Smart dust is a set of a vast number of ultra-small fully autonomous computing and communication devices, with very restricted energy and computing capabilities, that co-operate to quickly and efficiently accomplish a large sensing task. Smart dust can be very useful in practice i.e. in the local detection of a remote crucial event and the propagation of data reporting its realization. In this work we continue our effort towards the research on smart dust from a basic algorithmic point of view. Under a simple but realistic model for smart dust we present an interesting problem, which is how to propagate efficiently information on an event detected locally. Then we present anew smart dust protocol, which we call the "Sleep-Awake" protocol, for information propagation that explicitly uses the energy saving features (i.e. the alteration of sleeping and awake time periods) of the smart dust particles. By using both some simple probabilistic analysis and extensive experiments, we provide some first concrete results for the success probability and the time and energy efficiency of the protocol, in terms of parameters of the smart dust network. We note that the study of the interplay of these parameters allows us to program the smart dust network characteristics accordingly.

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a VRML97 multi-user layer, which is introduced in the EVE distributed virtual reality platform. Main consideration of our multi-user extension is the ease of transforming single-user virtual worlds to multi-user virtual worlds, as well as the conformity with any standard VRML97 browser. Furthermore, we present the EVE's communication platform, which can be used in order to support Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). Main issues regarding the effective network communication as well as the initialization of the 3D scene are discussed in this paper.

Undoubtedly, video-on-demand technology will play a catalytic role in future entertainment and e-learning systems. The key challenge in VoD domain is to provide interactive services in thousands of potential users at a reasonable cost. We present a scalable, high performance, high availability and low cost VoD system design, based on a cluster of personal computer. The scalability of this design is not restricted to cluster-level, but it can easily be applied to a greater MAN-level. The experimental measurements indicated that our design can support simultaneously 90, 170 or 240 high quality video streams for implementations with 1, 2 or 3 server nodes respectively. We show, using queuing theory analysis that these figures correspond to thousands of real users. We also present a multicast method that further enriches our design increasing its reliability in periods of high demand.
