As represented by the Japan Gigabit Network (JGN), a national project for research and development of advanced information network technologies, research on high-speed networking are actively promoted worldwide. In response to these developments, Core and Information Technology Center was founded at the University of Aizu in April l999 to advance high-speed network R\&D projects. At the center, intensive research and development are planned for a five year period, focusing on the basic and applied technologies of the next-generation super high-speed networks. In particular, as one of the 45 connection sites of the JGN national project, the University of Aizu is working with various research institutions connected to JGN on research and development of basic technologies of super high-speed networks and applied network technologies including applications for distance education, medical and nursing care, and e-commerce for the realization of the advanced information and communication society.
