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.
A half-day tutorial on Internetworking and OSI
Implementation has been planned for the first day of
the conference. Additional tutorials on Network Servers
and Data Security in Networks are also tentatively
planned for the same day. 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
will include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Message Handling Systems
- Wide-Band Communications
- Existing Networks and ISDN
- International Mail Gateways
- Network Servers (LISTSERV, NETSERV, ASTRA, MACSERV, etc.)
- Data Security
- Network Monitoring and Management
- Access to Databases/Libraries
- The Role of Networking in Office Automation
- Network Topology/Performance
- Experiences with International Communication Among
Academicians, Scientists, and other Professionals
- Medical Applications / PACS
- Sociological Aspects of Computer Mediated Conferencing
- Services/tools
The final conference program will be mailed in March, 1989.
