                 Internetworking:  Research and Experience


            Special Issue on Dynamic Internetwork Architectures


``Mobile'' or ``roaming''  hosts are network  participants that can  rapidly
move between  subnets,  in  some  circumstances  while  maintaining  network
connections and  sessions.   For  example,  portable computers  and  digital
cellular radio technology  can be  combined to  create network  participants
that can be carried throughout a building or a campus.  Future  technologies
may support mobile  subnets; imagine  a LAN  on an  airplane switching  from
cell to  cell while  in  flight.    Because communication  protocols  assume
that network participants are  relatively stationary, tracking mobile  hosts
and subnets  can  be  a difficult  problem.    Mobile  hosts  must  announce
new connections to  other network  participants and must  learn about  local
resources on new  subnets.   Dynamic  internet architectures  must scale  to
accommodate the  potential explosion  in mobile  participants as  technology
becomes more widely available.  Applications must operate robustly in  spite
of temporary  network  failures while  reconfiguration  takes place.     The
purpose of this  special issue is  to focus on  issues and experiences  with
dynamic internetwork architectures, such as:



  o Addressing schemes for mobile hosts

  o Routing in dynamic internet architectures

  o Resource discovery and utilization

  o Robust operation in dynamic internets


Papers submitted for this  special issue of  Internetworking:  Research  and
Experience should meet  the journal's normal  requirements for  publication.

should be provided for indexing.   Four copies  of the manuscript should  be

                 Internetworking:  Research and Experience


        Special Issue on Networking Support for Remote Conferencing


Real-time  interactions  with  colleagues  through  network   communications
are rapidly  becoming  an  important  means  of  communications  as  network
technologies become  better  able to  support  such applications.     Recent
experiments with remote conferencing such as the multicast of  presentations
from the  March,  1992  meeting  of  the  IETF  across  the Internet,   have
demonstrated the viability of the technology and have pointed out new  areas
of investigation.   Remote conferencing puts  special demands on  networking
hardware and protocols:   data must  be generated,  delivered and  presented
at the  destination in  a timely  fashion.   Remote  conferencing  protocols
may prefer  to discard  out of  order or  late data  rather than  delay  the
presentation at the destination.   Multi-way  conferences may use  multicast
algorithms to minimize  the volume of  transmitted data.   Data  compression
techniques may be used to  reduce the volume of data.   The purpose of  this
special issue is  to focus  on issues and  experiences with  internetworking
support for remote conferencing, such as:



  o Multicast protocols for remote conferencing

  o Multi-media data transmission protocols

  o Data compression algorithms for video and audio data

  o Service requirements for remote conferencing data delivery

  o Experiences with remote conferencing systems


Papers submitted for this  special issue of  Internetworking:  Research  and

Open Network Enterprise Regional Seminar Series set for August
==============================================================

Retix will kickoff a fifteen city seminar series tour in August to promote their
vision for the Open Network Enterprise.

The Open Network Enterprise is a prototype for contemporary and future
enterprise-wide networking. In an Open Network Enterprise hardware and software
from a multitude of vendors can interconnect to provide seamless communications
across a variety of media including data, voice, and images.  The seminars are
suggested for any MIS, Network and Mail System Manager or Administrator who wish
to configure their network to maximize their current investment yet retain the
ability to adopt future technologies as they develop.

The cost for the one-day Open Network Enterprise Seminar will be  which
includes seminar registration, instructional materials and lunch. By
pre-registering before July 29th, attendees can save 50%.

            Association for Experiential Education
                     20th Annual Conference
                        Banff, Canada
                     October, 8-11 1992


                      What is Experiential Education?
Experiential Education represents a body of theory and curriculum which
utilizes direct experience as a basis for learning and teaching.  Its
components of indepth analysis and reflection, often missing in
traditional learning settings, are essential to the total educational
process.

                      Why Experiential Education?
Experiential curriculum, unlike any other, intellectually challenges
people of all ages and from all educational and cultural backgrounds.  It
successfully challenges individual and group values and norms, while
enhancing self-concept, competence, and awareness.

             What is the the Association for Experiential Education?
The AEE is a nonprofit, international association with over 1600
individual and organizational members committed to furthering
experience-based learning.  AEE members believe that learning is further
enhanced when socially, culturally,and racially diverse populations are
engaged in the educational process.

AEE members come from school classrooms as teachers and students from all
levels, recreation programs, human service providers, correctional and
mental helath institutions, youth service agencies, programs for the
disabled, management development organizations, environmental centers,
outdoor adventure organizations, and universities, to name a few.
