The Engineer's Conference will concentrate on engineering design
problems in three areas: High Speed Networking, Internetworking,
and Network Management. This conference seeks to bring together
research scholars, engineers, and vendors to address pragamatic
engineering issues in the field of networking and distributed
systems interoperability. It is an excellent forum for Engineers
and Researchers to publish papers on solutions to today's
engineering-related problems.

Papers are solicited in the following areas:

*   High Speed Networking: ATM, Fast Ethernet, SONET, FDDI-II,
    HIPPI, SMDS, Frame Relay, Broadband ISDN, etc.
    
*   Internetworking: Design of Bridges, Routers, and Multiprotocol
    Brouters, Addressing Schemes, Routing Protocols, Application 
    Gateways etc.
    
*   Network Management: Bandwidth utilization, Traffic Trend
    Analysis/Capacity Planning, Automated Trouble Ticket Systems,
    Congestion detection, Network Simulation, SNMP v1 and v2, Security,
    Export considerations for secure systems, Manager-to-manager
    communications, Standardized Testing Suites, Expert Systems,
    Accounting, Distributed/Hierarchical Management architectures, etc.
