    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),
