Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT) has developed a laboratory automation system to improve the efficiency of research activities in the Electrical Communication Laboratories. NTT has four laboratories at locations distant from each other. However, the research activities each laboratory undertakes are related with what the others are doing. To improve the interchange of information among laboratories, electronic mail, videoconference, and video lecture services have been introduced in the system. It is possible to make inquiries concerning job-processing status and reservations for video conference rooms by telephoning the computer center directly, without going through a human intermediary. Researchers can retrieve information on the newest research results in common with other researchers at any other location. Taking into account the increase in large-scale computing jobs, such as traffic simulation, structural analysis and circuit analysis, newly developed DIPS computers and CAD facilities, such as circuit analysis, have been installed in the system. This paper presents a description of the system's configuration and its characteristics as well as a service outline.
