Description
To address the mandate as given under the CTBT Protocol (part I, paragraph 22), to provide technical assistance to States, the International Data Centre (IDC) is responsible for a dynamic Capacity Building and Training Programme. The provision of software is a fundamental part of the assistance, as it provides the States; through their National Data Centres – NDCs; with resources to enable them to use the IMS Data and the IDC Products for treaty verification related issues (as well as for issues of national interest, by incorporating IMS data and/or IDC information with local resources). The NDC-in-a-Box (NIAB) is a collection of computer programs (software suite) that can replicate the results of the IDC and offer the opportunity to apply user criteria to process IMS Data. This presentation gives a portrait of the status of the NIAB and discusses the past and present strategy for its development, also in the foreseeable future.
