CALL FOR PAPERS - INET'98
by RIPE NCC Staff 14 Oct '97

14 Oct '97

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| CALL FOR PAPERS - INET'98 Papers, Panels, Tutorials & Poster Sessions Deadline: 24 October 1997 |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| INET'98 THE INTERNET: ENTERING THE MAINSTREAM Internet Society's 8th Annual Networking Conference 21-24 July 1998 Palexpo Conference Center Geneva, Switzerland http://www.isoc.org INET, the annual meeting of the Internet Society, is the premier international event for Internet and internetworking professionals. It is the crossroads at which the world's cyberspace pioneers meet to exchange experiences and plan their next steps. Each year, network technologists, industry and government representatives, and policy experts meet to share information and shape the future of the Internet and its related internetworking technologies. In 1998, INET will address both the traditional and evolving frontiers of the Internet as well as its significant impact on education, commerce, and societies throughout the world. Multiple conference tracks will address critical issues ranging from network engineering to user needs, from regulatory issues to the Internet's role as a conduit for social change, and from the transformation of education to the redefinition of commerce. The INET'98 Program Committee solicits abstracts of papers and suggestions for panels, tutorials and poster sessions which describe innovative developments, encourage vigorous discussion and further the understanding of the Internet's frontiers. CONFERENCE INET'98: 21-24 July 1998 Exhibition Hall Open: 22-24 July 1998 PRE-CONFERENCE EVENTS Network Training Workshop: 12-19 July 1998 (France, Latin America and Switzerland) Technical Tutorials: 20-21 July 1998 K-12 (Primary & Secondary) Workshop: 21 July 1998 African Networking Symposium: 21 July 1998 KEY SUBMISSION DATES 24 October 1997 Deadline to submit Abstract, Tutorial, Panel and Poster Session proposals for Program Committee review. 8 December 1997 Authors notified of accepted Abstracts and invited to submit full Papers. Presenters notified of accepted Tutorials, Panels and Poster Sessions. 13 February 1998 Deadline to submit full Papers for Program Committee review. 27 March 1998 Authors notified of accepted Papers. 10 April 1998 Deadline to submit final copy of Paper for inclusion in the INET'98 Proceedings. 20-21 July 1998 Technical Tutorials 21-24 July 1998 INET'98 Conference TRACK DESCRIPTIONS TRACK 1: New Applications The exponential growth of the Internet involves not only computers, domain names, addresses and packets, but also content and people. The Applications Technologies track focuses on innovation that taps this growing wealth of information and people, including mechanisms for finding and accessing information and collaborative environments. In addition, this track covers technologies just below the user interface that are equally important: caching and prefetch technologies to improve access to information, and security technologies to support interactions such as contract signing and Internet commerce. TRACK 2: Social, Legal, Governance, and Regulatory Policies As the Internet keeps evolving and covering new territory, new forms of communication emerge and new social groupings appear. Sometimes these changes reinforce the old, sometimes weaken it or even threaten it. Weaving new human communities is a tricky business. Cultures, legal systems and institutions must find new compromises and mesh in new ways. What are the possible long-run governance structures for the Internet, and what are the implications of adopting them? TRACK 3: Commerce The promises of commerce on the Internet have come nearly as fast as new commercial sites. Yet many organizations are struggling to come to grips with the realities of the Internet for their business. What are these realities? Share the experience of successful projects, see how traditional forms of electronic commerce are adapting to the Internet and listen to experts argue the benefits and pitfalls of commerce on the Net. TRACK 4: Teaching and Learning The Internet evolved from computer science research projects to connect disparate and decentralized computer systems. Is this the same technology that is the hottest thing to happen in education in years? Once the private laboratory of university and post-secondary education, the Internet is now firmly entrenched in primary and secondary schools around the world. This track will look at what is happening on the Net today in support of primary, secondary and post-secondary education. Papers will cover current research in educational technology, case studies from the classroom, examples of collaborative learning and thought-provoking discussions on what effect the Internet will have on how we teach and learn. TRACK 5: Globalisation and Regional Implications Every day, the Internet is expanding to new parts of the world, to new groups of population, and to new, sometimes unanticipated, areas of usage. How far has the Internet gone on the road to true globalisation? What obstacles remain to its expansion in developing countries and to less advanced regions of the globe? What challenges should be expected in the future by those who, like ISOC, want to "take the Internet where it has never been before"? This track will address these questions, looking at the political, legal, cultural and economic aspects of the issues raised, while giving a central importance to the respective experiences of users and promoters of the Internet in all regions of the world. TRACK 6: Network Technology and Engineering The physical and administrative infrastructures of the Internet are being subjected to many stresses created by the explosion in the number of users and the demands of many new and exciting applications being developed. New support technologies are required in many areas to counter these stresses. This track will present a range of developments designed to make the network more reliable, more predictable, more scaleable and more manageable in the immediate future. TRACK 7: User-Centered Issues Frontiers don't exist just at the cutting edge of technology or in the remote regions of the world. Today, nearly everyone is an Internet user and many are responding to the challenge in unique and valuable ways to put this new tool to use. This track will examine contributions from a range of users, what they are doing and the impact the Internet has had on their daily lives.

Hostcount for September 1997
by Mirjam Kuehne 06 Oct '97

06 Oct '97

Dear all, Here is the hostcount for September 1997. The table shows an increase since last month of over 160,000 (or 3.3%) to a total of over 5,000,000 (!) hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. Over the last Quarter we saw an increase of almost 4000,000 hosts (or 8.0%). FI shows the highest increase for September with more than 50,000 hosts more than in August (when it showed a decrease of more than 17,000 hosts after a significant increase in July). DE shows a decrease of over 15,000 hosts. This is mainly due to a single zone that contains more than 32,000 hosts but has only one nameserver. This nameserver could not be reached this time :( The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. The graphical version of the hostcount can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps The translation of the country codes can be found at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes All this data can also be found at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount.html If you are intersted in the historic hostcount data, bunyip Information Services is hosting the complete set of data since 1994 under ftp://ftp.bunyip.com/pub/netstats/ripe I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: at Gerhard Winkler <winkler(a)cc.univie.ac.at> be DNS-BE Registration Office <tech(a)dns.be> ch Marcel Schneider <hostmaster(a)nic.ch> cy Panagiotis Tzounakis <pj(a)ics.forth.gr> cz Jiri Orsag <Jiri.Orsag(a)eunet.cz> de Peter Koch <pk(a)TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> dk Robert Martin-Legene <robert(a)dknet.dk> es Jose Sanchez-Seco <jose.sanchez(a)rediris.es> fi Petri Ojala <ojala(a)eunet.fi> fr Annie Renard <Annie.Renard(a)inria.fr> gr Dimitris Zisiadis <zisiadis(a)forthnet.gr> hr Ivan Maric <Ivan.Maric(a)stribor.srce.hr> hu Gabor Kiss <kissg(a)sztaki.hu> ie Mike Norris <mnorris(a)dalkey.hea.ie> il Sason Levi <sason(a)NetVision.net.il> it Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> no Havard Eidnes <Havard.Eidnes(a)runit.sintef.no> pl Mirek Luc <mirek(a)nask.pl> pt Armando Domingues <fccn(a)dns.pt> ru Andrey Dobrotsvetov <adbr(a)ripn.net> sk Ivan Lescak <Ivan.Lescak(a)Slovakia.EU.net> Lubos Elias <Lubos.Elias(a)uakom.sk> sm Antonio_Blasco Bonito <bonito(a)nis.garr.it> tr Yener Yigit <yener(a)knidos.cc.metu.edu.tr> uk Kevin Hoadley <K.Hoadley(a)nosc.ja.net> Robert Stone <robert(a)nosc.ja.net> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

We do of course accept MIME encoded messages with alternative body parts. For more information about these vacancies and the RIPE NCC, please see: http://www.ripe.net/ Bredo Oeveraas RIPE NCC
