Objectives
The role of the "Systems & Software for the New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) in Transport" Forum is to provide a meeting place, through seminars, conferences and round tables, for those involved in the world of transport who are concerned with the development, use and evolution of new information and communication technologies. The forum thus has a dual role, keeping up with the latest technological advances and assessing them.

Public
Those whishing to attend must enrol in advance. About 80 persons attend. They come from transport companies, services companies, software publishers, industry, universities and colleges.
Organization and results
The forum was created in 2001 on the initiative of the Transport Network and Advanced Software Engineering Laboratory (GRETIA) at INRETS, with the support of the strategic committee and the Center for Mastering Systems & Software (CMSL) at the CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers).
Sessions are held twice a year and include tutorial presentations by experts of the differents technologies, synthetic reports on transport matters, accounts of experiments and presentations of projects in progress.
Proceedings of the forum meetings are published in a special issue of the Software Engineering review dealing with transport system engineering. |
