Excuse us for possible double postings. Best regards, Hans ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First Call for Participation / Call for Papers NSC'93 The Network Services Conference 1993 Warsaw, Poland, 12-14 October 1993 Overview Networking in the academic and research environment has evolved into an important tool for researchers in all disciplines. High quality network services and tools are essential parts of the research infrastructure. Building on the success of the first Network Services Conference in Pisa Italy, NSC'93 will focus on the issue of providing services to customers, with special attention paid to the exciting developments in new global high-level tools. We will address the impact of the new global tools on service development and support, the changing function of traditional tools and services (such as archives), new services (such as multi-media communications), the future role of the library and the effects of commercialization of networks and network services. Customer support at the institutional and campus level, and the role of support in accessing global services, will also be covered. Talks, tutorials, demonstrations and other conference activities will address the needs of the research, academic, educational, governmental, industrial, and commercial network communities. NSC'93 is being organized by EARN in conjunction with EUnet/EurOpen, NORDUnet, RARE, and RIPE. Conference Venue Warsaw, the capital of Poland, lies in the center of the country on the Mazovian Lowland. Located on the banks of the Vistula River, it has a population of 1,700,000. Legends speak of Warsaw's past. One of them tells of a mermaid swimming in the waves of the blue Vistula before Mazovian fishermen and foretelling of the founding of an indestructible city. Another account speaks of the founders of the city, Wars and Sawa, lovers whose names were combined to give the city its name. Today, Warsaw is an important administrative, scientific, cultural and communication center. The city, destroyed during World War II, has been faithfully rebuilt and almost all historic buildings have been restored. The conference will be held at the Victoria Intercontinental Hotel, situated in the heart of the city's business and professional center, within walking distance of Warsaw University and just a minute away from the Opera House, Royal Castle and the Old Town of Warsaw.
