The further dynamic development of the information society will largely depend on the application of the emerging new development of ICT .
There are several disruptive technologies and new mega trends which will have a determining influence for the future development.
The most important mega trends of ICT are as follows:
• Next Generation Internet
Internet both national and world scale has become a fundamental part of our economic and social infrastructure. It is a driving force for innovation, the change in education, health care and government. The Internet therefore becomes a critical infrastructure. It will play a key role in the sustainable development of the economy and society.
The vision of the future Internet has started to evolve. It is anticipated that significant changes to the Internet will be driven by the rapid proliferation of mobile and wireless devices and other changes can be expected. It is a high priority for scientists, and government as well, that from vision go forward to action to continue the further development of Internet to meet the challenges of the fűmre.
• Next Generation Networks - NGN
Next Generation Networks can be defined as networks with a packet switching architecture, providing existing and new, emerging services with a loosely coupled, open and converged communications infrastructure. It is bringing forward a series of innovative opportunities, but also a greater array of challenges, touching upon competition, interconnection agreement and new business models. An important question is how NGN are different from the Internet. These questions will be discussed in the presentation.
rating, collaborating and distributing Internet content and developing and customizing Internet applications.
• Service Oriented Architecture ( SOA)
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a software architecture that uses loosely coupled software services to support the requirements of business processes and software users.
SOA can also be regarded as a style of information systems architecture that enables the creation of applications that are built by combining loosely coupled and interoperable services.
The main drivers for SOA adoption are that it links computational resources and promotes their reuse. Enterprise architects believe that SOA can help businesses respond more quickly and cost-effectively to changing market conditions.
• Radio Frequency Identification
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an emerging technology consisting of three key pieces: RFID tags (miniaturized chips); RFID readers; and a data collection, distribution, and management system that has the ability to identify or scan information with increased speed and accuracy. Compared to the bar code system, RFID promises long-term gains in supply chain management, transportation, defence and health care, to mention a few. RFID is increasingly used in commercial supply chain applications through aggregate level tagging, for example tagging of pallets.
• Dynamic development of the e-economy.
A mayor shift is taking place from the traditional economy to the e-economy. E- economy is now expected to accelerate become more and more pervasive in companies and people’s life.
There are some indicators which underline this progress:
- By 2008 the number of Web users will reach 278 million in Western Europe - The ratio of Web users to buyers will increase from 41% in 2004 to 62% in
2008
- E-commerce will reach over 2.217 billion Euro
Emerging devices and technologies in the area of wireless communications are expected to further accelerate the expansion the e-economy
European Research Networks - Development with Question-Marks
Bálint Lajos Dr. <lajos.balint@ niif.hu>
HUNGARNET Executive President NIIFI Director of International Relations
The development of the European Research Networks - both the international connections and the national segments - has been characterised by continuous development for some 20 years. This is a pleasing situation especially because the NRENs have never used any kind of a unified, commonly defined approach, and also the development of the pan-European network has never missed debates and conflicting ideas. No considerable break in the developments and in the operation of the infrastructure has happened, and a consensus about the ways of how to develop the European network and about how to match - the sometimes rather different - national plans could always be found. However, from the turn of the millennium, numerous questions, related not only to network technologies and architectures but also to organisational and financial issues, have been emerged among the European NRENs causing dilemmas and sometimes also dissonant voices. On top of these, the effect of the European role and undertaking in global research networking, as well as the influence of the many contradictions characterising global co-operation, competition, and EU missions, are continuously strengthening. Among these circumstances an extremely important question is if the currently starting 7th Research and Technological Development Programme (FP7) of the EU will be able not only fund but also positively motivate the integrated, uniform development of the next generation of pan-European research networking. The presentation intends to cover the most important ones from among the related questions, in view of both the discrepancies between the national development strategies and the “message” of the information available about FP7. Finally, the contribution will also deal with the way the just- starting 2nd National Development Plan of Hungary will hopefully help in maintaining the leading edge role of the Hungarian research network, as well as in joining the best European development strategies in the area of research networking in Hungary.

The system is a digital curriculum database and a content management tool, which provides in quality new opportunities for schools to obtain and use multimedia content. It enables users to work with previously not existing digital learning materials and provides teachers with supporting tools to prepare themselves for a problem-based approach in teaching and learning.
Main goal is to create a system in which content completely covers the curriculum of different grades according to knowledge areas. The developed content covers the curriculum of grades 7-12 or 9-12. At present a number of subjects in the curriculum of grades 1-6 are worked on.
Syllabus, lesson-plans, and methodological guidelines are also available. The developed learning materials cover the curriculum in accordance with the requirements of the National Core Curriculum.
The smallest learning assets (eg. picture, text, animation) can be independently used or new learning objects can be formed from them.
