Conference and 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, 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:
