communications, project (MICE) A project which aims to create a pilot (virtual) network between European researchers, and also to connect them to sites in the US. The MICE system currently allows
multimedia conferencing (

video and shared workspace) between conference rooms and
workstation-based facilities, hardware and software,
packet-switched networks and

unicast (point-to-point) and
