11. "e-Infrastructure for e-Science" EPIKH Workshop Algiers, 15 July 2010
Staffing structure
The staff involved in ARN are concerned by 3 levels :
Level 1 :
operational NOC handling new connections and technical daily problems happening
Level 2 :
development of services (mail, web, dns, …)
development of informational services (portal, research engines, …)
R&D projects which concern essentially the virtual library and e-learning solutions

12. "e-Infrastructure for e-Science" EPIKH Workshop Algiers, 15 July 2010
Staffing structure
The staff involved in ARN is organized in 3 levels :
Level 3 concerns :
design of the network
management of the network
introduction of new servics (mpls,multicast, IPv6, QoS)
R&D projects which concern management and advanced topics for networks
