Laura Emmons asked me to send this to the thinosi list since it will cover the not-the-same-protocol forms of efficiency that have been discussed on this list (and also since the thinosi work proper has now completed) OIW BOF UL efficiency - Requirements and options Call for participation **************************************** Date: 8-10 June 1994 Location: Days Inn Springfield Mall 6721 Commerce Street Springfield, VA 22150 (703) 922-6100 FAX: (703) 922-0708 Host: Telenex, Inc. (AR Test Systems) Dialogue: THINOSI[-request]@ULCC.AC.UK The OIW ULSIG will sponser an open "Birds of a Feather Symposium" on Upper Layer Efficiency. The ULSIG recognizes the industry need for more efficient common upper layer protocols and profiles. In the future the usefulness of data communications applications will be determined in part by how well different applications interact with each other. This is why the OSI Reference Model architecture allows for a common set of upper layer services. Those services are currently defined by the ACSE (ISO 8649, ITU-T X.217), Presentation (ISO 8822, ITU-T X.216), and Session (ISO 8326, ITU-T X.215) service definitions. The primary purpose of this symposium is to define ways to provide these common services more efficiently. Last January, the first BOF was held in Minneapolis. Efficiency requirements and standardization approaches were outlined at that symposium. The primary goals of this meeting are: 1. To discuss solutions to the following three categories of efficiency requirements a) minimize stack size, b) improve thoughput performance c) reduce bandwidth of PCI transferred; and 2. To discuss options for progressing any solutions through the standards process, i.e. to discuss where this work could be completed. This is an open, free meeting. We encourage contributions on any topics related to upper layer efficiency. Meeting Times: Wednesday, June 8 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Virginia Room Thursday, June 9 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Virginia Room Friday, June 10 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Virginia Room Hotel Information: The Days Inn will have rooms available for the attendees.
