Scope
~~~~~
The purpose of the term `Local Communications Systems' in the symposium
title was chosen so as not to exclude any type of system. So not only
will the management of all flavours of Local Area Networks (LANs) be
covered, but so will the management of PABX systems. For the rest of
this text, `Local Communications Systems' will be abbreviated to LCSs.
Topics
~~~~~~
The Programme Committee invites original papers for this symposium on
the topic areas below.
1. Management of single-vendor and/or single-technology Local Communi-
cations Systems.
2. Management for LANs and PABXs in the year 2000.
3. Management of multi-vendor and/or multi-technology LANs and PABXs.
4. Management of electronic campuses.
5. Standards activities in LANs and PABX Management.
6. Management of Gateways between LCSs and ISDN, MANs and WANs.
7. The Future.
8. How applicable is the OSI Network management strategy to all
LANs/PABXs?
9. Do the OSI Management Protocols cover all that the clients want?
10. Management of the design/cabling/installation of Local Communica-
tions Systems.
NOTE: Papers in areas not explicitly stated but of relevance will be
considered.

Financial Assistance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The organising committee will make best efforts to secure financial
support/assistance to enable delegates from developing countries and
Eastern Europe to attend.
Venue
~~~~~
Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury.
The City of Canterbury is situated in the county of Kent, `The Garden of
England', in South East England, about 50 miles (80 km) from London.
The University is located on a hillside above the city. It enjoys
panoramic views over the medieval city and the orchards and villages of
East Kent.
When you come to Canterbury, you will be visiting a beautiful and his-
toric part of England. Clustered around the ancient cathedral,
Canterbury's medieval streets and buildings are fascinating to explore.
Within 30 minutes drive of the University there are some 70 miles (113
km) of unspoilt coastline, stretching from Whitstable - once famous for
its oyster beds, to the picturesque town of Rye.
Inland can be found some of the loveliest English villages, castles, and
stately homes, as well as such attractions as zoos, steam railways and
vineyards.
London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports are easily accessible by car or
public transport from Canterbury, and many parts of Belgium, France,
Germany and the Netherlands are reached within a few hours via the Chan-
nel Ports of Dover, Folkestone and Ramsgate.
