ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS 4th Joint European Networking Conference: EUROPEAN RESEARCH NETWORKING IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT Trondheim, 10 - 13 May 1993 Organized by RARE (Reseaux Associes pour la Recherche Europeenne) in cooperation with: o EARN o IFIP TC6 o Internet Architecture Board o Internet Society o NORDUnet o UNINETT GOALS The theme of the conference - European Networking in a Global Context - acknowledges the fact that networks covering a specific geographical area or networks for a specific user group will only be successful if they are connected to the rest of the world. Global connectivity offered to a large number of users and applications makes networks more interesting to use. Considering that in Europe today only a small fraction of all academic and research staff are network users, it is fair to say that there is still a long road ahead of us. This conference is intended to explore the next steps to take. The conference addresses all staff from networking service providers of all sizes as well as application developers, policy makers and representatives of funding bodies, advanced user groups and standards organizations. Much emphasis is again placed on cooperation between members of different networking communities, building on the positive experiences of the previous Joint European Networking Conferences. This conference is THE forum on networking for research in Europe and presents a unique opportunity to meet key people active in the field today. CONFERENCE VENUE Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway. Founded in 997 AD by the Viking King Olav Tryggvason, the city lies on a bend in the river on the edge of Trondheim fjord. During the Middle Ages, Trondheim was the capital of Norway and a major place of pilgrimage. Today Trondheim is a national centre of technical education, research and development. The campus of the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), part of the University of Trondheim, offers good conference facilities and provides an excellent background for a leading network conference such as the JENC. Trondheim is easily reached. Trondheim Airport has direct flights to Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm and further connections to European and overseas destinations. CALL FOR PAPERS As at previous Joint Networking Conferences, the programme will include a combination of solicited and submitted papers. Slots of 30 minutes will be assigned to speakers, which include time for questions and discussion. In special cases two slots of 30 minutes may be assigned to one speaker. Two-page summaries of proposed papers should arrive at the programme chair (Bernhard Plattner) not later than November 1, mentioning the topic against which the author would like his paper assessed. Accepted papers must be submitted in full to the programme chair not later than April 10, 1993, in order to provide a full set of papers to the Conference participants. The full papers will be evaluated in a formal review process; good papers will be selected for publication in a special issue of "Computer Networks and ISDN Systems". CONFERENCE TOPICS Submitted papers should be related to one of the major topics of the general outline of the conference given below: Lower Layer Technology Transmission Technology Protocols Operational Experience Pilot Projects Mail And Messaging Service Requirements and Performance End-user Requirements Mail Routing Network Infrastructure Network Management Quality of Service Definition and Measurement Global Interconnection Issues Reaching 'Off-campus' and Mobile Users Network Applications Directory Services Multimedia Mail and Document Transfer Management of Distributed Applications Group Communications and Conferencing Information Services Distance Learning Users User Requirements The Network as Information Resource Education and Training for Users Cataloguing and Discovering Network Resources Discipline-oriented User Groups Security Administrative Requirements and Procedures National and International Policy and Legal Issues Authentication and Authorization Secure Applications Policy, Funding, and Strategies Economic Impact of Networking Electronic Publishing and Intellectual Property Rights International Export vs. Legal Restrictions Status Reports of National Initiatives and European Projects Results of COSINE National Networks and Activities Central and Eastern European Activities Standards EARN / EurOpen / RIPE EMPB / EBONE CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS As in previous years, a poster wall will be available for the display of posters. Participants are invited to submit a poster presentation of the project they work on or a topic of common interest to the conference participants. The programme committee will select the best two posters during the conference for inclusion in the conference proceedings. The best poster wins a free registration to the next JENC. During the conference there will again be the opportunity for participants to present their project or activities in the form of a demonstration, either as part of their presentation or separately. Requests for demonstrations should be made through the RARE Secretariat, specifying technical requirements before November 1 (later proposals will be taken into account but can not be guaranteed booth space). X.25 and IP connectivity will be provided. Demonstrators are requested to submit an updated one-page description of their demonstration for inclusion in the conference package before April 10, 1993. The programme committee will select the best demonstrator who will win a free registration to the next JENC. CALL FOR TUTORIALS This year for the first time tutorials will be organized. They will be held at the end of the conference, on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Proposals for half-day or full-day tutorials should arrive at the programme chair before the 1st of November, 1992. The programme committee also invites prospective attendees to send a list of topics on which a Tutorial would be appreciated to the programme chair before November 1, 1992. FORMAT OF THE CONFERENCE Based on the successful conferences of the previous years, the format of the Conference has not changed, with the exception of the addition of Tutorials. The conference starts at 14:00 on Monday 10 May 1993 and runs until 12:30 on Thursday 13 May 1993. No sessions will be scheduled for the Wednesday morning, allowing participants to organize BoFs. As usual many international meetings will be scheduled around the Conference.
