            The 8th IEEE Workshop on Computer Communications  


                 IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY
         Technical Committee on Computer Communications



                                                            Sept.1, 1993



Dear Colleague:

I am enclosing the advance technical program and registration materials for 
the 8th IEEE Workshop on Computer Communications sponsored by the Technical 
Committee on Computer Communications of the IEEE Communications Society.  
The workshop will be held October 17-20 at the L'Auberge Del Mar Resort and 
Spa, Del Mar (San Diego), California.  This year we are holding the workshop
in conjunction with the Metropolitan Area Network Workshop, October 13-16.

This year we will continue to offer special rates for graduate students on 
a very limited basis.  Each application for this rate must be accompanied 
by a letter by the student's advisor stating his/her qualifications.  Only  
graduate students who are close to completion of a doctoral program and 
will receive the maximum benefit from the workshop need apply.  Students 
will be selected primarily by postmark date as space allows.

The L'Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa is located in the exclusive seaside 
village of Del Mar.  L'Auberge features 123 luxury guest rooms & suites;
European health and beauty spa; fine dining; shopping; championship tennis 
courts; swimming and lap pools; all with a spectacular ocean view.  It is
twenty minutes from major San Diego tourist attractions and airport; less
than a mile from Del Mar Racetrack.  There is a footpath to the beach.
It is a Four-star rated hotel recently affiliated with the prestigious
Hotel Bel-Air.

I am personally looking forward to exploring state of the art technology
at this year's workshop with you.  I am sure you will enjoy exciting
discussions in this luxurious and tranquil setting.

Sincerely,




Tatsuya Suda

The annual IEEE Computer Communications Workshop is dedicated to informative 
discussions and presentations of important and timely research in 
communications.  The focus of this year's workshop is on current trends in 
network technology and management for broadband, optical and wireless
networks.  As novel technologies and services have begun to evolve toward a 
wider realization, new research issues have developed.  This workshop has
been organized to explore these issues in detail, permitting a technical 
understanding of their interrelatedness and laying a foundation for further 
research.

2:30pm - 5:00pm		Technical Session VI: Host Interface Design for 
(half hour break at 3:30)		      High Speed Networks

Organizer:		Sean O'Malley (U. Arizona)
Brief Description:	As network performance has increased, the network-
			host interface has emerged as a significant 
			bottleneck in overall network performance.  In 
			addition, this increase in network performance has 
			blurred some of the distinctions between WANs, LANs, 
			distributed memory multiprocessor interconnection 
			networks, and intrahost communication channels.  
			Thus the traditional approach to network host 
			interface design appears to provide neither the 
			performance nor the flexibility required by modern 
			computer systems.  This session will include
			presentations of novel approaches to network host 
			interface design.
Tentative Speakers:	Darleen Fisher (NSF)
				An Update on Gigabit Network Testbeds
			Danny Cohen (ISI)
