              *******************************************
		Columbia Workshop on Telecommunications
			Broadband Networking:
		The State of the Art and Beyond

		September 21-22, 1992, New York, NY

              *******************************************

Significant research and development efforts are underway worldwide to
promote the evolution of telecommunications into broadband services
into the next decade. Many of these efforts are maturing to the point
that serious migration plans can be discussed. Such migration plans
imply an overall upgrade of the existing telecommunications
infrastructure worldwide and also a sweeping deployment of a new
generation of equipment covering both customer premises and the
network. We believe that our workshop will be a timely forum for a
discussion of this exciting technological evolution.

Location. The Workshop will take place in the auditorium of the new
Schapiro Research Building on the Morning- side Campus of Columbia
University at West 120th Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and
Broadway. The auditorium offers approximately 200 seats.

Program.Invited contributions. Bound viewgraphs and/or position papers
will be distributed to all participants.  Keynote speaker: Alexander
Fraser, Executive Director, AT&T Bell Laboratories. A detailed program
is enclosed.

Organization. It is organized around eight sessions. Every session
will have at least one introductory speaker who will present the state
of the art and will set the stage for discussions to follow.

The topics of the first day (four sessions) are organized around
Hardware Technologies for Broadband Infrastructure: switching,
transmission, interfaces, hardware support for protocol processing,
SONET, system architectures, electro-optics, WDM networks, passive
lightwave architectures, components, photonic switching, etc.

The topics of the second day deal with Software Technologies for
Broadband Infrastructure: software architectures and protocols, QOS
control and management, protocols and multimedia applications, and
network management.
