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.

and maintain network servers and other user support tools, and
other users of computer networks and related facilities. As
applications of networking in the medical field will be
emphasized, this conference will also be of interest to all those
who are engaged in research and development in the areas of
hospital information systems, picture archiving and communication
systems, and computer-integrated health care systems in general.
All members of the above groups are invited to share their
knowledge and experiences with other participants at this
conference.
