-
- Opening session and Keynote Address
-
- The Networked Computer in the 21st Century -- bigger is better
- Professor David J. Farber,University of Pennsylvania, USA
-
- The advent of gigabit network technology has inspired a rethinking of the
- structure of network computers, operating systems, and protocol
- structures, among other things. This rethinking has led the speaker to the
- conclusion that a globally distributed computer represents one of the
- best applications of this new technology. We will explore some of the
- considerations that led to this conclusion, as well as exploring the nature
- of such a Global Distributed Computer and its applications.
-
- David J. Farber was responsible for the design of the DCS system, one of
- the first operational message based fully distributed systems. He was
- one of the principals in the creation and implementation of CSNet,
- NSFNet, BITNET II, and CREN. He was instrumental in the creation of
- the NSF/DARPA funded Gigabit Network Testbed Initiative and serves as
- the Chairman of the Gigabit Testbed Coordinating Committee. Professor
- at the University of Pennsylvania, he is leading research in ultra-high
- speed networking.

- Invited Speaker
- Protocol Architecture for High Performance Networking:
- Does the OSI Reference Model Need Revision ?
- Richard desJardins, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA
-
- - -<=High performance networking is a whole new ballgame, needing a
- brand new protocol architecture<=.
- - -<=High performance networking is just networking, needing only faster
- protocol implementations<=.
-
- These are the two extremes of a spectrum of possibilities considered
- in this talk. We will begin by describing some high performance
- networking application scenarios needed by the world space agencies
- for earth science research in the early 2000s. Then we will translate
- those scenarios to networking service requirements, and consider the
- roles of reference model architectures. Finally, we will consider how
- well the venerable seven layer model meets these needs, and examine
- various possibilities for revising the OSI architecture for the coming
- era of the fiber optic gigabit networks of the 2000s.
-
- Richard desJardins was one of the early OSI architects and
- standardization chairs. He led the initial meeting of the OSI Upper
- Layer Architecture Ad Hoc Group in March 1978, and he chaired both the
- US ANSI and the ISO subcommittees on OSI for ten years. Richard has
- been a practicing systems engineer for over 25 years, with NASA,
- DARPA, and CTA Incorporated, and was named the NASA Goddard Space
- Flight Center Engineer-of-the-Year in 1977. He is a well known teacher
- of the OSI and GOSIP, having taught for Omnicom, Interop, and the
- GOSIP Institute.

- Panel FDDI and ATM Switches in the Local Area
-
- Chairperson: Andre Danthine, University of Liege, Belgium
-
- Panelists: Yves Le Boudec, IBM, Hanafy Meleis, DEC, . . .
-
- The formation of the ATM Forum has created a significant interest to
- introduce the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) also as a common
- technique for local area networking. It is predicted that ATM will be
- a well- established method to support multimedia applications in the
- local domain long before public networks are able to start B-ISDN
- services. At the other hand, FDDI begins to exploit the investments of
- a long standardization process but experiences a slow start owing to
- high costs.
-
- This raises the questions whether FDDI ever will obtain its predicted
- popularity, whether FDDI-II finds its way into the market, and whether
- the standard committee FFOL (FDDI Follow-On LAN) will continue to
- exist. Experts of either side will discuss the potential evolution of
- switch-based and shared-medium-based networking in the local domain.
-
- Poster Display
-
- A poster display will be organized during the conference. The posters
- will be permanently displayed in the main lobby of the Congress Hall.
- This poster display will allow the presentation of ongoing research
- projects on the topics of the conference. Each programme or project
- will also produce a four-page presentation. A separate volume
- gathering all the four-page presentations of these posters will be
- distributed to all participants.
-
- Deadline for early registration at reduced fees is 10 November 1992.
