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, OSI, Network Servers, and Data Security in Networks are tentatively planned for the first day of the conference. More specific information on the tutorials will be included in the 2nd Announcement of EARN89, which will be mailed toward the end of December, 1988. 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 -------------------------------------------------------- Place and Date: --------------- EARN89 will be held at the Capsis Beach Hotel, Heraklion, Crete, Greece from May 29-31, 1989. The Capsis Beach Hotel is located on the Peninsula of Agia Pelagia, approximately 20km from the city of Heraklion. Heraklion is accessible by 5 direct flights and two car-ferries a day from Athens and by direct scheduled and chartered flights from most major European airports. Additional travel information will be included in the 2nd Announcement. Who Should Participate: ----------------------- EARN89 will be of particular interest to all users of EARN, those who are responsible for the development, installation, and maintenance of academic and research networks, those who install 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. Call for Participation: ----------------------- Interested individuals are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers to be considered for presentation in the parallel sessions.
