Rob, Could you please distribute the Call for Papers for NSC'94 on ripe-list@ripe.net ? Thanks, David Call for Papers NSC'94 The Network Services Conference 1994 London, England, 28-30 November 1994 Overview Open computer networking is no longer the sole domain of universities and research institutions. Today, governments, schools, public organizations, commercial enterprises and private individuals are actively using and supplying information over the global Internet. How will these various network communities cooperate and interact? How will the academic and research community adapt to the new network reality? How will the network and networking tools now available stand up to the explosion in number of users and amount of information available? How will we train novices? What will we pay for and what will be for free as the commercialization of the network progresses? Will we be inundated by advertising over the net? These are only a few of the questions facing network service providers and users alike. Building on the success of the previous Network Services Conferences in Pisa (1992) and Warsaw (1993), NSC'94 will focus on the issue of providing services to customers, with special attention paid to the exciting developments in global tools and services. We will address the impact of the new global tools on service development and support, the changing function of traditional tools and services (such as archives), new services (such as multi-media communications), the future role of the library and the effects of commercialization on networks and network services. Customer support at all levels, and the role of support in accessing global services, will also be covered. Talks, tutorials, demonstrations and other conference activities will address the needs of the research, academic, educational, governmental, industrial, and commercial network communities. NSC'94 is being organized by the EARN (European Academic and Research Network) Association in cooperation with the Internet Society, RARE, RIPE, NORDUnet and EUnet. Tutorials, Demonstrations and Posters In addition to the presentation of papers, there will be tutorial sessions on specific network services as part of the regular conference program. A room will be available for workstations and PCs to be used for demonstrations throughout the conference. A poster wall will be available to participants for the display of their posters and projects. Terminals with connectivity to the Internet will be available to delegates.
