Research Director of the Department of Telematics Applications 
(CNUCE Institute of the Italian National Research Council, 
Pisa Italy); 
     
President of TERENA (Trans European Research & Education 
Networking Association), Amsterdam, Netherland. 
<s.trumpy@cnuce.cnr.it>
     
C.V.
I got my degree in engineering in 1969. I have been working 
for CNUCE since 1971 in software systems and control systems, 
in particular for satellite flight control. I acted as 
Director of CNUCE (an Istitute dedicated to scientific 
computing, networking and applications) from 1983 to June 
1996. In 1984 I was designated EARN (European Academic 
Research Network) Director for Italy, at its inception; 
subsequently I have been involved in a number of projects 
related to network services for the scientific community, 
like:
     - Eureka projects COSINE and EuroCAIRN  aiming at
establishing a common networking infrastructure in Europe / 
delegate for Italy;
     - UNESCO/RINAF (Regional Informatics Network for AFrica
project) / Technical Coordinator;
     - G7 Pilot Projects/GIBN (Global Interoperability of
Broadband Networks) / National Coordinator.
     
Furthermore I am an expert in "Telematics for knowledge" 
designated by the Italian Ministry of University, Scientific 
and Technological Research and for the European Union.
Since May 1995, I am acting as President of TERENA 
association, the leading organization in Europe and 
sourrounding areas, where the coordination of technical work 
conducted by the national research networks is sought as well 
as a strategic common view on the evolution of the European 
common infrastructure.
Finally, I am acting as special advisor for the Major of the 
town of Livorno for the information technology matters; I'm 
giving my contribution for a special project on the 
exploitation of the civic network in the metropolitan area of 
Livorno.
     
Statement
My interests in the Internet domain are primarily devoted to 
the research sector, in relation with my activity with TERENA, 
but are also expanding to other sectors for a number of 
different reasons:
     - the "Information Society" is "going global" and is
exporting to all sectors of the society the protocols and the 
applications that where initially developed in the research 
sector;
     - CNR and myself are engaged in the technology transfer
to the public administration, thus involving a number of new 
social and organizational issues;
     - my involvement in the RINAF project has given me the
opportunity of facing the real problems encountered by the 
developing countries where the solutions should imply: low 
investments, sustainability, robustness and consolidated 
standards;
     - the GIBN experience is requiring to conduct
negotiations with the international carriers in order to 
experiment the multimedia services which will be the base for 
the exploitation of the "Information Society".
     
For the above reasons, I am confident to be in a position to 
give a positive contribution to the ISOC Advisory Council.
