This tutorial aims to instruct those that already have a working knowledge
of the subject material.
The fee for the tutorial is USD 250. Please note that this is not included
in the conference registration fee. It is recommended that you register as

NETWORK TECHNOLOGY TRAINING WORKSHOP
May 7 - 14, 1995
A workshop on the installation and use of networking technology is
being planned for the week preceding the conference.
The workshop will cover all aspects of dial-up & TCP/IP connectivity,
and, thus, it is ideally suited for regions with little or no
networking infrastructure. Participants will learn the fundamentals
of establishing and maintaining a TCP/IP network and becoming part
of the global Internet. Topics covered include IP addresses, routers,
name servers, network security, monitoring, network management, and
all aspects of networking over dial-up modems.
The workshop is intended primarily for participants from the
Middle East region, but applications from outside this area will be
accepted if places are available. There will be a limit of approximately
30 participants.
For more information, please contact David Sitman <david(a)ccsg.tau.ac.il>.
