hpn92 - Liege 14-18 December 1992

	Conference Program

Wednesday 16 December 1992

	Opening session and Keynote Address

	The Networked Computer in the 21st Century -- bigger is better
	Professor David J. Farber,University of Pennsylvania, USA

The advent of gigabit network technology has inspired a rethinking of the
structure of network computers, operating systems, and protocol
structures, among other things. This rethinking has led the speaker to the
 conclusion that a globally distributed computer represents one of the
best applications of this new technology. We will explore some of the
considerations that led to this conclusion, as well as exploring the nature
of such a Global Distributed Computer and its applications.

David J. Farber was responsible for the design of the DCS system, one of
 the first operational message based fully distributed systems. He was
one of the principals in the creation and implementation of CSNet,
NSFNet, BITNET II, and CREN. He was instrumental in the creation of
the NSF/DARPA funded Gigabit Network Testbed Initiative and serves as
the Chairman of the Gigabit Testbed Coordinating Committee. Professor
at the University of Pennsylvania, he is leading research in ultra-high
speed networking.

Invited Speaker
	Protocol Architecture for High Performance Networking:
	Does the OSI Reference 	Model Need Revision ?
	Richard desJardins, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA

- -<=High performance networking is a whole new ballgame, needing a
     brand new protocol architecture<=.
- -<=High performance networking is just networking, needing only faster
     protocol implementations<=.

These are the two extremes of a spectrum of possibilities considered
in this talk.  We will begin by describing some high performance
networking application scenarios needed by the world space agencies
for earth science research in the early 2000s. Then we will translate
those scenarios to networking service requirements, and consider the
roles of reference model architectures. Finally, we will consider how
well the venerable seven layer model meets these needs, and examine
various possibilities for revising the OSI architecture for the coming
era of the fiber optic gigabit networks of the 2000s.

Richard desJardins was one of the early OSI architects and
standardization chairs. He led the initial meeting of the OSI Upper
Layer Architecture Ad Hoc Group in March 1978, and he chaired both the
US ANSI and the ISO subcommittees on OSI for ten years. Richard has
been a practicing systems engineer for over 25 years, with NASA,
DARPA, and CTA Incorporated, and was named the NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center Engineer-of-the-Year in 1977. He is a well known teacher
of the OSI and GOSIP, having taught for Omnicom, Interop, and the
GOSIP Institute.

Panel	FDDI and ATM Switches in the Local Area

Chairperson: Andre Danthine, University of Liege, Belgium

Panelists: Yves Le Boudec, IBM, Hanafy Meleis, DEC, . . .

The formation of the ATM Forum has created a significant interest to
introduce the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) also as a common
technique for local area networking. It is predicted that ATM will be
a well- established method to support multimedia applications in the
local domain long before public networks are able to start B-ISDN
services. At the other hand, FDDI begins to exploit the investments of
a long standardization process but experiences a slow start owing to
high costs.

This raises the questions whether FDDI ever will obtain its predicted
popularity, whether FDDI-II finds its way into the market, and whether
the standard committee FFOL (FDDI Follow-On LAN) will continue to
exist.  Experts of either side will discuss the potential evolution of
switch-based and shared-medium-based networking in the local domain.

Poster Display

A poster display will be organized during the conference. The posters
will be permanently displayed in the main lobby of the Congress Hall.
This poster display will allow the presentation of ongoing research
projects on the topics of the conference.  Each programme or project
will also produce a four-page presentation. A separate volume
gathering all the four-page presentations of these posters will be
distributed to all participants.

Deadline for early registration at reduced fees is 10 November 1992.
