PLENARY PANEL SESSION
10:00am-11:00am
THE NREN AND THE NATIONAL INFORMATION
INFRASTRUCTURE--COMPETING VISIONS?
The Clinton Administration is moving aggressively to expand the
NREN towards a National Information Infrastructure that embraces
priorities in fields outside research and education, including health
care and manufacturing. Panelists from government, the private sector
and the non-profit sector will present and debate their visions of
achieving the broader goals of the NII. (Chair: Mike Roberts,
EDUCOM)
PARALLEL SESSIONS
11:30am-12:30pm
NATIONAL COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT & GRAND
CHALLENGES
The next stage in High Performance Computation involves the
creation of a National Computing Environment that links the
country's largest supercomputers with gigabit network links to produce
a massively parallel system capable of addressing Grand Challenge
applications. (Chair: Peter Siegel, Cornell National Supercomputer
Facility)
CITIZEN ACCESS
Protecting and enabling citizen access to public information in
electronic form is a major challenge for the NREN. This session will
identify and discuss some of the key information policy issues
underlying the NREN. (Chair: Rick Weingarten, Computing Research
Association)
AT THE STATEHOUSE: THE "E" IN NREN
State budgets provide over 90% of all education financing but states'
role has not been visible at the federal level. This session highlights
states with active NREN programs and the keys to their success.
(Chair: Richard Hezel, Hezel Associates)
INTERNET ARCHITECTURE FOR 100 MILLION USERS
Blue sky projections for 108 users look increasingly real as net
connections have zoomed past one million. The Chair of the Internet
Architecture Board will describe plans for accommodating growth and
new services on the network. (Chair: Lyman Chapin, Bolt Beranek &
Newman)
Lunch and Luncheon Address
12:45pm-2:00pm
Speaker: Eric Benhamou, Chief Executive Officer, 3Com Corporation
INTERNATIONAL INTERNET REPORT
Along with the annual Landweber Report, a representative from the
European Commission will discuss that community's plans for
network collaboration, both intra-Europe and internationally.
2:00pm-2:30pm
DEMONSTRATIONS/EXTENDED BREAK
Several leading edge applications showing the power of the NREN will
be demonstrated. The primary forms of the demonstrations will be
video, network navigation and network information services.
2:30pm-3:30pm
PLENARY PANEL SESSION
3:30pm-5:00pm
FROM A NETWORK OF NETWORKS TO A COMMUNITY OF
COMMUNITIES
The Internet is increasingly being used to meet the needs of
communities, and to link these communities. This session will focus
on the linking of scholarly communications, Indian groups, and on
citizen-based, geographically delimited community information
systems. (Chair: Steve Cisler, Apple Computer)
RECEPTION
5:30pm
The evening is open for you to explore the many neighborhood
restaurants in Washington, DC.

Friday, April 16, 1993
Continental Breakfast
7:30am-8:30am
Registration
7:30am-Noon
PARALLEL SESSIONS
8:30am-9:30am
K-12 SESSION
This session will present current projects involving networking for K-
12 education, with an emphasis on projects in which schools and
universities are collaborating. (Chair: John Clement, Consortium for
School Networking)
IMAGES AND DOCUMENTS
Storage and transmission of images files and documents in image
formats are rapidly growing Internet applications. These applications
enable networked information resources and services that go far
beyond the mechanization of text. They also promote the evolution of
just-in-time (e.g., information provided at the time of demand) in
addition to just-in-case (e.g., information provided in anticipation of
demand) information access and delivery systems. This session will
survey the architectures and standards used by the developers of such
applications, and will explore prospects for interoperating systems and
services in this area. (Chair: Cliff Lynch, University of California-
Berkeley)
PRODUCTIVE PARTNERING
This session will describe projects that have used federal and state
leveraging effectively to bring Internet access and applications to their
communities. The panelists will give examples of local successes and
provide recommendations from their experience that will aid in
developing future NREN programs. (Chair: Sue Fratkin, Fratkin
Associates)
PARALLEL SESSIONS
10:00am-11:00am
MULTIMEDIA ON THE INTERNET: REACHING THE
CLASSROOM
The promised integration of voice, video and data applications on the
Internet opens powerful opportunities for distance learning and
collaborative education. Today's experiments set the tone for the
future. This session examines the activities of the NSF-funded
Synthesis Coalition of eight universities who are collaborating to bring
the best of engineering education across the network. (Chair: Arvin
Eide, Iowa State)
SEX ON THE INTERNET: RIGHT OR WRONG?
First Amendment rights are colliding with institutional and legal
concerns over the content of Internet traffic. This session will survey
strategies that institutions are adopting to promote free speech and
expression on the network while providing protections and safeguards
for members of their communities who do not wish to be exposed to
certain types of communications. (Chair: Frank Connolly, American
University)
LISTENING TO THE USERS
The Internet Pioneers have blazed the trails, now it's time to start
concentrating on the needs of the real consumers of Internet services--
the end-users. This session provides a forum for views and reports
from a cross-section of Internet "settlers"--the people who have come
out to homestead the territory cleared by the early adventurers. (Chair:
Dan Updegrove, University of Pennsylvania)
PARALLEL SESSIONS
11:30am-12:30pm
INTERNET VIDEO: MELTDOWN OR THE NEXT E-MAIL?
There are a growing number of experiments in IP-based digital video
that focus on desktop workstation multi-party collaboration.
Widespread use with today's protocols could seriously overload
existing network capacity and interoperability is an ever present
problem. Yet the promise of low-cost packet-switched digital video
opens up the potential of powerful collaborative tools that could over
the next few years become as ubiquitous as today's electronic mail.
This session explores the state-of-the-art, looks ahead to the near
future, and examines the issues that must be resolved if such
technologies are to become ubiquitous. (Chair: Scott Brimm, Cornell
University)
EASY ACCESS
Over the past two years, there has been an explosion in "second-
generation" Internet applications: Archie, WAIS, Gopher, WWW.
These have opened up the network to new classes of users, people who
have previously been intimidated by Internet alphabet soup and a
generally hostile user environment. But this is still not enough; before
Internet access become truly ubiquitous, another order-of-magnitude
improvement in user interface is needed. Where will these innovations
come from? What form(s) will they take? What communities will see
their impact first? This session features presentations to answer these
questions. (Chair: Jean Polly, NYSERnet)
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE 103rd CONGRESS
Gore II, GPO WINDO, and a long list of other bills have been
introduced in the new Congress. The annual legislative review features
key committee staffers and community advocates. (Chair: Bob
Gillespie, Robert Gillespie Associates)
