Dr. P. Martin of the University of Toronto will speak
on ``Complete Message Addressing Schemes.''
TIME: 3:30 PM

ABSTRACT
An important property of an electronic mail system is
that it should be able to identify and locate all the
intended recipients of a message. So, once submitted,
a message will not become lost or stuck in the system.
The existence of this property is dependent upon the
naming and addressing mechanism used by the mail sys-
tem.
We first discuss _m_e_s_s_a_g_e _a_d_d_r_e_s_s_i_n_g _s_c_h_e_m_e_s which are
framework for dealing with the naming and addressing
problem. Message addressing schemes can also serve as
a basis for the analysis of some of the properties of
message routing within a system. We examine the condi-
tions necessary for a _c_o_m_p_l_e_t_e message addressing
scheme, that is, one that guarantees to deliver all
possible messages.
