Working Group Sessions
The objective of this conference is to promote the interchange of
information and discussion about national and international
computer-based message services. Because many service and inter-
connection requirements remain to be established for these emerg-
ing systems, the conference includes a number of working ses-
sions. Issues to be discussed in the working sessions include
both technical and economic/political aspects of message ser-
vices.
The conference brings together 27 speakers from eight countries
to present papers on computer-based messaging systems and ser-
vices. There are no parallel paper sessions in order to allow
delegates to attend all presentations. In addition to the
papers, three panels serve to review progress and issues in;
standards activity, commercial developments, and intermediate
term interconnection requirements. The final day and a half is
devoted to working sessions which will develop the issues raised
by the panels and address a number of application topics. The
application topics will include multimedia systems, directory
service standards, conferencing system requirements, user
environment services, and facilities for impaired communities.
