Due to several scheduling +conflicts, the meeting dates indicated in RFC #207 have been moved +ahead two weeks. Therefore, the meeting is scheduled to commence on +Sunday, October 10 at 12 noon and is scheduled to adjourn on Thursday, +October 14. + + Prior to the time, the NWG has been almost entirely concerned +with issues of communications and protocol implementation. However, +we are now in a transitional phase; implementation efforts have been +substantially completed and usage of the Network has emerged as a +primary concern. Consequently, the theme of this Network Working +Group Meeting is Network usage. + + The meeting will provide an opportunity to 1) demonstrate current +capabilities of host systems, 2) identify areas of application, 3) +address issues concerning users and service centers, 4) provide +updated information on status and recent developments. + + There will be three sequential phases to the meeting as indicated +in RFC #207. The first phase, the system programmers workshop, will +commence on Sunday, October 10 at 12 noon and continue through Monday, +October 11. + + The second phase will begin on Tuesday, October 12 at 9:30 a.m. +In addition to any workshops that may be organized the following +activities are scheduled: + + a) A Protocol review - this session will be jointly + chaired by John Postel (UCLA) and Alex McKenzie (BBN) + and is open to concerned and knowledgeable persons. + The session is intended to review current standard + protocols. + + b) A course in NIC usage - this session will be a tutorial + in the use of the NIC. The size of the group is + limited by the number of available consoles. To + register, contact Dick Watson at SRI, (415) 326-6200. + + + + + [Page 1] + + c) TIP Users - this session will be devoted to a + presentation of the characteristics of a Terminal + Interface MessAge Processor (TIP) and the use of a + TIP for accessing remote services. There will also + be a discussion period. The session will be conducted + by BBN and is open to interested participants. + + The third phase will begin on Wednesday, October 14. Wednesday's +session will consist of reports on status and recent developments. In +the morning the following developments will be reported -- the outcome +of the system programmers workshop, results of the Protocol review, +specifications for Network on-line co-operative interaction, NIC +philosophy, status report on user level Protocol development. The +afternoon will highlight the status of the ILLIAC IV development, +TENEX development, Data Computer development and current activities in +Network Climate Dynamics. The session will conclude with a discussion +of Network Management. + + On Thursday morning representatives of Network service centers +and user groups will hold a round table discussion on access to +service centers via the Network. This discussion will be open to the +public and audience participation will be invited. + + Cocktails and dinner are planned for Wednesday evening beginning +at 5:30 p.m. + + More information on the October NWG meeting along with a schedule +listing workshop meeting times and rooms will be available at a later +date. + + All NWG meeting attendees should register for the meeting by +calling Anne Speare at (617) 864-6900 x1458. A block of rooms has +been reserved at the Hotel Sonesta in Cambridge, Massachusetts. +Meeting attendees can obtain a reservation at the Hotel Sonesta from +Anne Speare.
