- Data Management Meeting Announcement
- ------------------------------------
-
-
- Mitre will host a Network Data Management Meeting, February 23,
- 24. As a follow-on from past meetings, the meeting is being held to
- accomplish two objectives. As a result of the first data management
- meeting in Aug- ust, the general consensus was a need to learn about
- applications of net- work data facilities, and how networks will
- better help users achieve their objectives. There are several people
- that have expressed an inter- est in discussing applications. The
- attached schedule is a list of people who have agreed to talk. If
- anyone knows of other people interested in discussing applications,
- please have them contact me.
-
- Secondly, the meeting will discuss and try to arrive at a
- specifica- tion for a network data management protocol. It was
- decided that the best way to come up with a design would be to discuss
- a tentative written proposal or proposals. I will try and have copies
- of a written proposal available to meeting attendees before the
- meeting date. I would like to encourage anyone else interested in
- submitting a 3rd level protocol for sharing network data to do so.
-
- The protocol design would hopefully achieve the objectives of a
- data facility described in stage 2 of RFC-146.
-
- Since the facilities are limited and the second half of the
- meeting is to be a working session, it will be necessary to limit the
- attendance. First priority will be the people or representatives from
- groups that have participated in the past two meetings. I will inform
- any other people who contact me of any openings.
-
- All reservations should be made by contacting Mrs. Madeline
- Cornell at Mitre, Telephone (Area Code 703) 893-3500 Extension 2395 as
- soon as possible.
