- ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
-
- * 4th Joint European Networking Conference *
-
- EUROPEAN RESEARCH NETWORKING IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT
-
- Trondheim, 10 - 13 May 1993
-
-
- Organized by RARE (Reseaux Associes pour la Recherche Europeenne)
-
- in cooperation with:
-
- o EARN o EUnet/EurOpen o IFIP TC6 o Internet
- Architecture Board
-
- o Internet Society o NORDUnet o UNINETT
-
-
- GOALS
- The theme of the conference - European Networking in a Global Context
- - acknowledges the fact that networks covering a specific geographical
- area or networks for a specific user group will only be successful if
- they are connected to the rest of the world. Global connectivity
- offered to a large number of users and applications makes networks
- more interesting to use. Considering that in Europe today only a
- small fraction of all academic and research staff are network users,
- it is fair to say that there is still a long road ahead of us. This
- conference is intended to explore the next steps to take.
-
- The conference addresses all staff from networking service providers
- of all sizes as well as application developers, policy makers and
- representatives of funding bodies, advanced user groups and standards
- organizations. Much emphasis is again placed on cooperation between
- members of different networking communities, building on the positive
- experiences of the previous Joint European Networking Conferences.
-
- This conference is THE forum on networking for research in Europe and
- presents a unique opportunity to meet key people active in the field
- today.
-
- CONFERENCE VENUE
- Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway. Founded in 997 AD by
- the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, the city lies on a bend in the river
- on the edge of Trondheim fjord. During the Middle Ages, Trondheim was
- the capital of Norway and a major place of pilgrimage.
- Today Trondheim is a national centre of technical education, research
- and development. The campus of the Norwegian Institute of Technology
- (NTH), part of the University of Trondheim, offers good conference
- facilities and provides an excellent background for a leading network
- conference such as the JENC.
-
- Trondheim is easily reached. Trondheim Airport has direct flights to
- Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm and further connections to European and
- overseas destinations.
-
- CALL FOR PAPERS
- As at previous Joint Networking Conferences, the programme will
- include a combination of solicited and submitted papers. Slots of 30
- minutes will be assigned to speakers, which include time for questions
- and discussion. In special cases two slots of 30 minutes may be
- assigned to one speaker. Two-page summaries of proposed papers should
- arrive at the programme chair (Bernhard Plattner) not later than
- November 1, mentioning the topic against which the author would like
- his paper assessed.
-
- Accepted papers must be submitted in full to the programme chair not
- later than April 10, 1993, in order to provide a full set of papers to
