Why do we need Network Applications and Services?

• Local ViewUpgrading Taiwans industry from
  manufacturing to XX software? content? service?
  design?.
• Global View Utilizing advanced
  telecommunication technologies The one and only
  one factor to decide the future of
  3G/4G/nGNetwork Applications and Services
  (NAS)?
• No NAS no 3G/4G/nG
• No NAS, 3G/4G/nG are still RD topics for our
  grandn-graduate students!

5
Where are we now?

• Network infrastructuresbroadband Internet,
  2G/2.5G/3G, WLAN, PAN,.
• Computer and communication applications
  I-phone, MOD/VOD, Video Conferencing
• Computer and communication servicese-learning,
  e-government, e-campus, e-life?Network
  Applications and Services

Goal

• Produce a large number of high quality students
  who can be engineers having better adaptability
  with state of the art technologies in the network
  applications and services area to promote
  Taiwans international competition in the
  industry.
• Evolution of the human resource from OEM/ODM
  manufacturing industry to highly value-added
  design, service, software, content, ..

• Taiwan earns America count by penny per unit
• America earns Taiwan count by dollar per unit

12
Selection Criteria

• Courses that are designed with state of the art
  technologies and are highly demanded by the
  industry.
• Courses that are interested to wide population
• Fundamental courses are excluded as their course
  materials are already developed in previous
  programs.
• Courses that are too specific will not be
  considered except that the technology covered is
  one of the key technologies of the future.
