+
+   The number of networks has grown to the point where not all
+   participants are familiar with each other; more networks are under
+   development. This workshop is intended especially for those
+   manufactureers, users and researchers who have just entered, or are
+   about to enter, the network field.  Presentations are invited on all
+   aspects of computer networks, particularly including user
+   communities, inter-node protocols, terminal and switching equipments,
+   and communications technology.
+
+   Presentations on embryonic systems are especially invited.
+
+
+   Tentative Agenda
+
+   Session I and II -- Description of Specific Systems
+
+   Presentation of specific systems with emphasis on such topics as the
+   aim of the system and scope; the constraints applied by the
+   application; the equipment used; protocols; expected lifetime; etc.
+
+   Session III -- Functional Capabilities - Alan Weis - IBM Research
+
+   This session will discuss such topics as file transmission, the
+   referencing of foreign data sets, remote job entry protocols,
+   resource control, data standards, etc.

+   Participation in the workshop will be by invitation from the program
+   committee and will be limited to 65 persons, in order to facilitiate
+   discussion.  To encourage free discussion of tentative conclusions,
+   no workshop proceedings will be published.  The workshop should
+   stimulate generation of high quality papers for subsequent
+   publications.
+
+   Should you desire to participate in this workshop, please return the

+
+   Invitations will be mailed to selected participants approximately 15
+   August 1971.  Whether or not you plan to participate, please call

+
+   What is a Workshop?
+
+   The objectives of these workshops are:
+
+      To clarify, by exhaustive and off-the-record discussion between
+      active workers in the field, the merits and disadvantages of
+      controversial alternative approaches to a specific phase of
+      computer organization, and to establish the basis for a group of
+      high-quality papers for IEEE meetings and publications.
+
+   The workshop involves four (4) key concepts:
+
+   1.  Small number of participants to permit exhaustive discussion:
+
+   2.  Off-the-record proceedings to allow discussion of incomplete and
+       preliminary results:
+
+   3.  Selected mature participants to obviate the need for tutorial and
+       introductory material:
+
+   4.  A carefully defined topic to keep the discussion in focus.
+
+   Off-The-Record Meetings
+
+   To permit discussion of incomplete and tentative results, information
+   at the workshop cannot be published.  Slides or blackboards may not
+   be photographed so the workshop does not constitute disclosure in the
+   sense of the Patent Law.  After the meeting, participants are
+   encouraged to publish significant contributions.
+
+   Selected Participants
+
+   By limiting the workshop to a small number of active workers, mature
+   scientists knowledgeable in the specific area under discussion,
+   formal papers can be displaced by brief opening statements followed
+   by an open discussion.

+
+   Publication of Results
+
+   One measure of the success of a workshop is the resulting publication
+   of research.  While the workshop itself is closed, it should serve as
+   a stimulus to generate a series of high-quality papers for subsequent
+   open meetings.
+
+   Session Organization
+
+   The workshop is divided into four (4) scheduled sessions, each
+   centered on one phase of the problem to be discussed.  Normally, the
+   workshop chairman will assign to each session chairman the task of
+   clarifying the subsidiary questions to be discussed in his session.
+   Each session is divided into "talks." The speakers are designated as
+   discussion leaders.  Most participants at the workshop will be
+   discussion leaders at one of the sessions.  The session chairman will
+   attempt to provide each speaker with the time he requests (within
+   limits).  Normally, five to ten minutes will be allowed for formal
+   presentation, with 15 to 30 minutes reserved for discussion and
+   debate.  In addition, the chairman may include a general discussion
+   period at the end of the session.
