N-1-1-100.07 Interop
by Dan Lynch <dlynch@interop.com>
In 1992 there will be two INTEROP Conferences instead of one. The
first of them will be held in Washington, DC from 18-22 May. The
second will be held in San Francisco, CA from 26-30 October.
The focus for the Spring Conference in Washington is on the "Business
of Internetworking". While the technology that enables
internetworking is certainly important and constantly evolving, the
business opportunities and challenges are critical to the successful
deployment by all end users.
Two major speakers address these business areas. Mitch Kapor, as
President of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, will address the
public policy issues surrounding the establishment of commercial
internetworking. Mitch is especially concerned that this new
capability be made accessible to as many persons as possible and that
users of it are protected by intelligent extensions of the US
Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Dixon Doll, General Partner of Accel Partners, a venture capital firm,
will describe the fears, hopes, dreams and schemes of those who step
up to the opportunity to provide products and services in this new
internetworking age. While as users, we all want to have the
cheapest, fastest, most reliable stuff we can, it is also in our
interest to have suppliers who are competent, innovative, stable and
responsive. How is that balance met?
The 45 Conference sessions will be broken into two main clusters:
Deployment (or Tools for Today) and Technology (or Ideas for
Tomorrow). 34 Tutorials will be offered on Monday-Tuesday and 7 of
them will also be offered on Thursday-Friday due to strong expressions
of demand for this format from previous attendees.
The cooperative demonstrations of vendor offerings will center on
SMDS, Frame Relay, Network Management, FDDI, X.400 Messaging, Token
Ring and ONC/NFS.
