ABSTRACT:

For a long time, network management was the forgotten part of network design,
added as an afterthought to a design if at all.  This has changed, and now
network design protocols and standards are developed or being developed.  The
major products for network management today are IBM's Netview and AT&T's
Unified Network Management.  Both of these products and a host of others are
committed to move in the same direction as the developing OSI Network
Management standards.

John Geraghty of IBM and Keith Young of AT&T will discuss approaches to
network management.  This will include views of the history of network
management and some future directions.  The Netview and Unified Network
Management products will be used as concrete examples of currently available
network management products.  Other speakers will discuss the current state of
OSI standards for network management.
