ANNOUNCEMENT and ADVANCE REGISTRATION
TriComm'91
IEEE CONFERENCE ON COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE:
COMMUNICATIONS FOR DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEMS
Chapel Hill, NC April 18-19, 1991 (Registration & Reception April 17, 6 pm)
An International Conference Sponsored by the IEEE Communication Society,
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and MCNC
The decade of the 1980s was a period of rapid advances in communications
technology (both hardware and software) and of pioneering deployment of
distributed systems and applications. At the beginning of the 1990's,
new communications technologies and new distributed applications are
emerging that will have far-reaching impact on communications software.
Very high-speed networks (e.g., from FDDI to Gigabit technologies), multi-
and continuous-media communications, interconnection of workstations and
supercomputers, visualization and image applications, and computer-supported
cooperative work (CSCW) are just a few examples. Participation in the
conference by both developers of advanced distributed applications or
systems and researchers interested in communications software will
provide a mutually beneficial dialogue.

LOCATION
TriComm '91 will take place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at the University
of North Carolina. The University of North Carolina is located at one corner
of North Carolina's Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) in the
center of which is the Research Triangle Park and the Raleigh-Durham Airport.
MCNC, a national resource in microelectronics, is located in the Research
Triangle Park. MCNC is a non-profit corporation established to support and
develop the education and research technology infrastructure in North
Carolina. It has three divisions: microelectronics, supercomputing, and
communications.
All conference sessions and meals will be held at the Carolina Inn, a
charming Chapel Hill landmark, located on the campus of the University of
North Carolina just across the street from Sitterson Hall, the
state-of-the-art building which houses UNC's Computer Science Department.
On Wednesday night, April 17, pre-registration and the conference reception
will take place in Sitterson Hall.
Chapel Hill is a small community of about 40,000. In April the weather will
generally be very pleasant with daytime temperatures in the upper 60's and
nighttime temperatures in the 50's; however, you should be prepared for a
shower. Many spring-flowering plants and shrubs should be in bloom at this
time.
TRANSPORTATION
The local airport is Raleigh-Durham International. American Airlines is
the official carrier of TriComm '91, offering special fares to North
American conferees: 5% saving off published excursion fare within the
US, or 40% (Canada 35%) off the full coach fare with a 7-day advance purchase
valid from April 15-April 21, 1991. Call 1-800-433-1790 and refer to STAR
FILE S0241GC to obtain the discount.
Taxis, which you can take to the Carolina Inn or any other location in
Chapel Hill for about $25.00, are generally waiting outside the airport
terminals. Or you can arrange to be picked up by LTD Services. LTD operates
by reservation. In order to be picked up, call LTD (1-800-787-4474 or
919-840-1829) at least one day in advance and give the time, flight number
and airline you will arrive on. You may call after you arrive but you may
have a substantial wait. The cost is $15.00 per person. Because all
conference events will take place either at the Carolina Inn or Sitterson
Hall just across the street, there is no need to rent a car.
For those commuting, we have arranged for a shuttle bus to run from the
southwest corner of the University Mall parking lot (near First Union Bank)
beginning at 7:00 am on April 18 and 19. The Mall is located at the
intersection of Estes Drive and US 15-501. Parking is not available on the
UNC campus between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. The Carolina Inn provides free
parking for registered guests only.
