65. Travelling & accommodation

Traveling

There are many ways to fly to Rabat. The most common one, and with more options, is to fly to the Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, which is about 90Km to Rabat.

There is a train station in the airport (Terminal 1) that provides connection to Rabat, and there are also buses that connect that airport to Rabat.

There is also a small airport in Rabat but with limited connections.

In Rabat there are two main train stations. The way from the train stations to ENSIAS is here

Accommodation

The main hotel for the school is the Ibis Moussafir Rabat Hotel. A number of rooms have been blocked to school participants until June 6. After that date you will be subject to availability.

We are trying to get daily transportation between this hotel and the ENSIAS.

Also, the meeting point for the excursion will be at this hotel, on sunday July 11th.

Another suggested hotel is the Oumlil Hotel, Rabat, which is situated downtown but close to the Rabat Ville train station.

Technical area(s) which it addresses Hard real-time systems

Short description of the standard Provision of real-time communication services on top of Ethernet COTS with low latency and jitter.

Technical gains Open standard. Real-time over Ethernet COTS. Good control over transmission instants. Well adapted to the remote control of motor-drives, particularly servo-drives. Supports very short cycle times.

Previous revisions/versions on which it is based Based on EPL v2

Name of the relevant standardisation body EPSG - ETHERNET Powerlink Standardization Group

Main leader or contact person within this standardisation body Dr. Edwin Kiel (Lenze Drive Systems GmbH), chairman of the EPSG board of directors

Industrial domains impacted Industrial automation, large distributed embedded systems

Industrial gains

Efficient support for tight distributed control of motion processes

Name of the your team Univ. Aveiro

Responsibilities in the standard definition We are ordinary members of EPSG since mid 2004 and have had a rather passive participation until now. Our interest is to increase participation by proposing changes that will allow higher throughput and will enforce higher system integrity, without losing the tight transmission control typical of this protocol.

Main other non-ARTIST participants in the standardisation process These are the members of the Board of Directors and also represent the institutions/companies that are more active in the standard.
