Information Technologies and New

Information and Data Sources

AGENCY: Central Intelligence Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Government/Industry

Conference.

SUMMARY: To expand their knowledge of

vendor capabilities and to open

communication about federal

information management requirements,

the federal, scientific and technical

information community through CENDI,

(the interagency group composed of

Commerce, Energy, NASA, National

Library of Medicine and Defense

Information managers), in collaboration

with Community Open Source Program

Office (COSPO), among others, will

sponsor a government-industry

conference in May or June 1995 in the

Washington, DC area. The purpose of

the conference is to discuss government

user needs, exchange ideas and

demonstrate off-the-shelf tools,

methods, technologies and information

products suitable to meet these needs.

The meeting will focus on available

off the shelf technologies, and

information and data sources.

Technologies for working with sources

of information located outside the

United States and in non-English

languages are a particular focus for part

of the federal audience at this

conference. A secondary focus is midterm technology development efforts.

Products that will not be available

within five years are beyond the scope

of this meeting. Interested private and

public sector organizations are invited

to submit proposal to make a formal

presentation and/or participate through

exhibits or poster sessions at the

conference. The event will present an

opportunity to showcase developments.

This is not a procurement action, nor

does the U.S. Government intend to pay

for the supplied information.

Offerings should be compatible with

existing platforms and open systems,

e.g. UNIX and DOS.

The areas of immediate interest

include but are not limited to the

following:
