FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the
NETWORK TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP
WHAT ARE THE BASICS?
The workshop is oriented toward individuals
and teams from technologically emerging
countries. The workshop will be held in Prague,
Czech Republic, from Sunday, 5 June 1994 to
Saturday, 11 June 1994.
The primary host institution for the workshop
will be the Czech Technical University, CVUT
(Ceske Vysoke Uceni Technicke), with assis-
tance from Charles University and the Prague
University of Economics.
There will be nearly 200 participants and a staff
of about 24 from outside the Czech Republic.
Participants will have accommodations at the
Hotel Krystal
WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP?
o TRAINING : To train a critical mass of
trainers/professionals in network infrastruc-
ture, transport and services to be able to
support an extension of meaningful network-
ing activities leading to Internet connectivity
within countries represented
o SHARING INFORMATION : To identify and
share individual and institutional contacts as
well as information sources that will assist
the process of development, using interna-
tional connections to and on the Internet
o PROFESSIONAL LINKS : To build robust
professional linkages between all participants
in the programs so that the mentor-student
and peer relationships formed during the
workshop and conference will remain strong
and of continuing usefulness well beyond the
workshop and conference.
o ENHANCE COOPERATION : To increase the
level of cooperation among existing projects
and activities for establishing data networks
in developing countries.
Preference for admission and for support will be
given to small teams of people from the same
country who can demonstrate a plan for intro-
ducing part or all of the training program in
their home countries, including a statement of
institutional support for such activities.
WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMME?
The instructional program will consist of 4
parallel tracks:
o Dial-up networking technology
o TCP/IP networking technology
o Network navigation and services
o National network management
The first two tracks will be similar to what was
offered at the 1993 workshop. There will be
some change in emphasis, moving an introduc-
tion to TCP/IP into the basic track and consid-
ering dial-up as one (important case) of
establishing inter-node communication with the
outside world.
The third track will address network navigation
and network service exploitation, as it did last
year, but will also address (either for all partici-
pants or for a subset) how to set up a network
service machine and servers locally.
The fourth track comprises an introduction to
issues of national network establishment,
management, and administration, encompassing
legal, political and technical issues.
