To achieve corporate objectives of productivity enhancement
and tight teaming with customers and industry, MITRE's Model
Workplaces Team is piloting collaboration technology and physical
space organization. For example, the Team has performed standards,
market, and network-impact analysis of collaborative tools including
Collaborative Virtual Workspace, Timbuktu, NetMeeting, and desktop
videoteleconference applications. The team is evaluating tools
for wireless connectivity such as WaveLan and Ricochet, as well
as applications for dynamic DNS to support use of DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol). The team has implemented several
workspace innovations including rolling-out distributed online
briefing and demo facilities, visitor (nomadic) offices, and
the creation of virtual team rooms and a Model Workplace pilot
in Reston, Virginia. |
