    The Silicon Valley Networking Conference (SVNC - 92)
    ----------------------------------------------


    The Conference on Technology, Architectures and
             MIS Issues for Computer Networks

                 April 27-29, 1992
      Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA

The third annual Silicon Valley Networking Conference (SVNC'92) will
take place on April 27-29, 1992 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
A stellar three-day program contains over 70 technical papers describing
innovative design solutions to network hardware implementation, future
technology, system architectural considerations, network management
issues, strategic planners and administrators (MIS), and internetworking
will be presented.

The overall thrust of the conference is to provide SOLUTIONS to system
design and network problems for system designers, hardware developers,
and strategic planners. Through its high-quality technical program,
that consists of paper presentations and topical panel sessions, the
conference will focus on key issues in local networks, physical layer
design approaches, internetworking, network management, high-speed
networking, distributed applications, and MIS related topics.

In addition to the technical papers and panels portion of the program,
attendees can select from short-course topics such as FDDI Basics,
Internetworking, or Network Management. Coffee-break refreshments as
well as lunches are included as part of the conference registration.

A table-top exhibits area at the conference will provide attendees
with a view of available components, subsystems, and software that
can be applied to solve network problems. Exhibits will be open for
two hours starting at noon on Tuesday and Wednesday, and for two
hours starting at 5:30 pm on Tuesday evening.

FOR REGISTRATION OR TABLE-TOP EXHIBIT SPACE SIGNUP, CONTACT:
Ken Majithia at (408) 924-3930 (voice), (408) 997-8265 (fax),
                       and majithia@sjsuvm1.bitnet (email).

SVNC'92 is a creation of SysTech Research and cosponsored by
