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 (audio, video

and shared workspace) between conference rooms and

workstation-based facilities, hardware and software,

packet-switched networks and ISDN, using both unicast

(point-to-point) and multicast (multi-point) protocols.
