The following papers were presented at the 16th Japan Unix Society (jus) Symposium, 15-16 November 1990, Osaka. I have summarized each paper in a couple of lines. All papers are in Japanese with English abstracts unless otherwise noted. Zhong and Kuribayashi's cWnn paper is recommended. The symposium also had news reports from jus X11-SIG, jus Kansi, OSF, Unix International, USL Pacific, and IBM. The 17th symposium will be 9-11 July 1991; papers are due by 1 April 1991.

Routing on the Internet with mobile nodes
Satoru Yanagishima (vyanagi@cs.uec.ac.jp), Hideki Sunahara
In this proposal, mobile nodes that move between IP networks are identified by
host names, and IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the new gateway and
bound by the domain name server.
I'd be interested in hearing more details about this proposal. Is a
full translation available, or even simply a sketch of the mechanisms
involved. I would expect the main problems would be to deal with
caching of old (bad) data so that you don't get mistaken for someone
else who is doing the same thing.

We've discussed this in the IETF over the years and it would be nice to see what these two authors have presented and which of the several problems for multi-homed hosts they've answers for.
