                          OUCC * OCUTINA '92

You  are  invited  to  attend  the  23rd  annual  Ontario Universities
Computing  Conference (OUCC) and   the 12th annual  conference  of the
Ontario  Colleges and  Universities Telecommunications and Information
Networking Association  (OCUTINA).  These  two  conferences are  being
held jointly for the first time, at the University of Western Ontario,
from Sunday evening, May 24 to Wednesday noon, May 27, 1992.


Conference Theme
================
Throughout  the    coming   decade,   computing,   networking,     and
telecommunications organizations at  educational  institutions will be
forging  new partnerships  and  undertaking  new responsibilities.  In
doing so, the interdependencies  among applications, technologies, and
players will require us as never before to squeeze  added value out of
shared interests   and   initiatives.  All  areas  will  need  to work
together for mutual benefit and optimum value:

                       Synergy:  Key to the 90's

Tutorials
==========

(1)  Using the Internet for More Than Just Mail
     Katherine T. Fithen, CERT; Steven K. Huth,
     University of Pittsburgh

This  tutorial  is directed  at people who   want to learn  about  the
resources available via the network known as  the Internet.  It starts
with a brief overview of the Internet including its size, the roles of
regional  and local networks  and a short  introduction to traditional
tools like  FTP,  less-traditional    services  like Xwebster   and  a
discussion   of  CERT and  network   security.  The talk  continues by
building a ``road-map'' that describes some common sources  of network
information and how to get  to them.   Use of information servers like
archie and WAIS  (Wide Area Information  Servers) are illustrated with
examples.  The tutorial  concludes  with a description   of the Andrew
File System (AFS)   with  special reference to   local  work  done  at
pitt.edu.  AFS is a   world-wide  network file system  that holds  the
possibility of making  Internet look  like an extension of  your local
file system: an exciting possibility.


(2)  Introduction to Unix
     Wei Mei Shyr, University of Western Ontario

This tutorial is directed at people interested in learning about Unix.
It   will  provide  a  general   overview  and  cover   basic   system
administration issues. Topics to be  covered include the file  system,
basic Unix tools and commands, customizing your user environment, user
management, stopping and starting the system, backing up and restoring
the file system, monitoring   performance, network configuration,  and
security.

(3)  Socket Programming
     Reg Quinton, University of Western Ontario

This tutorial is directed at Unix applications programmers who want to
develop client/server applications in  the TCP/IP  domain. Fundamental
concepts   are  covered   including network addressing,     well-known
services, sockets, and ports.  Sample applications are examined with a
view  to developing similar  applications that  serve  other contexts.
This  course requires an  understanding  of the C programming language
and an  appreciation of  the programming environment  (i.e. compilers,
loaders, libraries, Makefiles, and the RCS revision control system).


(4)  Providing the Foundation for Exceptional Help Desk Support
     Jane Winkler and Kim Hoffman, University of Western Ontario

This workshop is directed at Help Desk consultants and anyone involved
in the distribution   of  support   services. Topics  to be  discussed
include defining the client community and their needs, issues involved
in the distribution  of  support  (i.e. generalized  vs   specialized,
response time, level of  support)  and  other pertinent issues such as
cost  vs level of service,  ratio of  consultant to clients, marketing
Help  Desk   services, professional  development/training,  Help  Desk
automation, Help Desk support network.



EVENING EVENTS
===============
The conference  begins Sunday  evening   with a Welcome  reception  at
Delaware Hall to allow some pre-conference mixing.   Monday  evening a
Wine and Cheese reception wraps up the Vendor  Expo, which is followed

evening, London's own "Second  City" troupe  will entertain us  with a
variety of skits and improvisations.  A Barbeque and Monte Carlo night

activities and live  music on  the  patio will  be provided  for  your
enjoyment.
