INTERWORKING'92 is the  first international symposium focusing on
the open issues of heterogeneous networking, which is becoming
important in the liberalized and competitive telecommunications
environment. The total number of contributions received, following
the call for papers with a short term, exceeded the expectations.
This underlines the importance of interworking in the current situation.

The symposium is accompanied by tutorial presentations on the first
day (Nov. 18, 92) by the specialists Dr. James Mollenauer, chairman of
the IEEE 802.6 committee (MAN standards),  and Prof. Plattner of ETH
Zurich, on aspects of high speed networking and interworking.

The keynote address by Dr. R. Hu:ber, Director of the RACE Program
of the Commission of the European Communities,  will focus on the
political impact of the Maastricht Treaty on telecommunications.
It will emphasize the  importance of interconnection and inter-
operability for the provision of Trans-National Networks. These
networks form a prerequisite to provide future economic and social
cohesion in the European Communities.

The symposium also includes a panel of prominent experts and
strategists representing international standards bodies, industries
and operators, for a discussion on the importance of interworking
in standards and network evolution.

Owing to the generosity of our sponsors, the registration fee, for
registration before Oct. 15, has been fixed at only Sfr. 320 for
the two day symposium and Sfr. 250 for the one day tutorial.
After this date the fee will be Sfr. 375 and Sfr. 280 respectively.
The fee includes the Proceedings, Lunch, Cocktail and a Banquet
dinner offered by the organising committee.

The number of participants is restricted to 200. Acceptance to the
symposium will be on first come first served basis. Hence, early
registrations are recommended.

Advance registrations with reduced fee should be received
before Oct.15, 1992.
