Abstract
Generally speaking, variable stars are monitored through multi-site observi ng campaigns which coordinate telescopes at various longitudes. A new pract ice is in progress: devoted networks involving robotic telescopes. We will review these two technologies and will emphasize the NORT (Network of Orien tal Robotic Telescopes) project which we are promoting in North Africa, Mid dle-Eastern countries and Asia.(1).
