============================================================================ 
    Seventh IEEE Workshop on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks

                     March 26-29, 1995

                Hawk's Cay Resort and Marina
                     Marathon, Florida

        Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society

    Local and metropolitan area networks are currently the forging
    place for new network technologies, broadband services, and
    multimedia applications. The purpose of the present workshop
    is to examine the new local ATM technologies, cable and other
    public multimedia delivery systems, various networking
    architectures, and the provisioning of networks for the support
    of broadband multimedia services for businesses and homes.
    
    A main theme of this year's Workshop is public and private ATM
    networks: differences and seams.
    
    A prominent feature of this Workshop is its emphasis on short,
    pointed presentations with ample opportunities for debate and
    discussion.  Controversy is encouraged.

    Attendance is very limited, so early registration is strongly advised.

    The Workshop will be held a week before IEEE INFOCOM'95
    which will be in Boston from April 2 to 6, 1995.
    
    The Workshop will begin with an evening reception on March 26.
    Technical sessions will begin Monday morning March 27 and conclude
    around lunchtime on March 29.  The program and registration forms
    follow below.

---------------------------------------------

Miami International Airport to 836 West until you reach the Florida Turnpike.
Stay South on the Turnpike until it ends at US-1. Continue South
on US-1 to Mile Marker 61 - Hawk's Cay Resort and Marina !!

The drive from Miami International Airport
to Hawks' Cay Resort is an hour and forty five minutes.
It is a beautiful drive, and is described by Rand-McNally as one of the most
scenic drives in the United States, "where the sky and the ocean meet".

HAWK's CAY RESORT PROVIDES COMPLIMENTARY TRANSPORTATION
TO AND FROM THE MARATHON AIRPORT (please give 24 hours notice).
