Conference & Program Information
----------------------------------
In recent years, Academic Networking has become a major
international activity whose goal is to establish effective
communication channels, which will bring closer together
individuals working in Academic and Research Institutions
around the world.
EARN89 is the 3rd International Conference of the European
Academic and Research Network. It provides a forum for the
exchange of information on the development and operation of
EARN and other academic and research networks, the
installation of network servers and other user support
tools, and the use of these networks and related facilities
by various groups in academic and research institutions.
This international conference will address primarily issues
related to the technical aspects of networking, user support
services and documentation, and networking applications. A
specific application area which will be emphasized is
Networking in Health Care and Picture Archiving and
Communication Systems (PACS). Medical applications of
networking are currently gaining substantial momentum and
will serve as the central theme of parallel sessions with
invited and submitted papers.
Half-day tutorials on Internetworking and Security Measures
for Academic Networks have been planned for the first day of
the conference. EARN89 will formally open in the morning of
the second day with a plenary session dedicated to a review
of current and future developments in the area of networking
in Europe and North America. The remaining one and a half
days of EARN89 will be devoted to invited and submitted
papers, which will be organized in two parallel sessions on
Technical Aspects of Networking and User Support Services.
Specific topics to be covered include the following:
- Message Handling Systems
- Existing Networks and ISDN
- Network Servers
- Data Security
- Network Monitoring and Management
- Access to Databases/Libraries
- Medical Applications / PACS
- Sociological Aspects of Computer Mediated
Conferencing
A book of extended abstracts will be distributed to all
participants at the conference.

MONDAY, MAY 29, 1989
TUTORIALS
(9.00 - 12.00 AM)
I. INTERNETWORKING
Lawrence H. Landweber, University of Wisconsin, USA
This tutorial addresses issues arising from the
interconnection of (possibly heterogeneous) computer
communication networks and protocol architectures.
Of principal concern are the protocols which provide for
translation and routing between such networks. Case studies
of existing protocol architectures and a commercial gateway
product are used to illustrate the concepts.
Lawrence H. Landweber is Chairman of the Computer Sciences
Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. He
received his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1967 from Purdue
University. He was one of the founders of CSNET. His
research interests include high speed networking, protocol
design and implementation and the interconnection of
heterogeneous network/protocol architectures.
II.SECURITY MEASURES FOR ACADEMIC NETWORKS
Stanley Kurzban, IBM, Thornwood, New York, USA
This tutorial addresses issues of system penetration and
data security in academic networks. The relative importance
of various security threats facing academic networks today
will be considered and possible security measures will be
discussed.
Stanley Kurzban is a Senior Instructor with IBM's Systems
Research Education Center, Thornwood, New York, USA.
