Crocker -- ARPA/IPT   The number of networks has grown to the point where not all   participants are familiar with each other; more networks are under   development. This workshop is intended especially for those   manufactureers, users and researchers who have just entered, or are   about to enter, the network field.  Presentations are invited on all   aspects of computer networks, particularly including user   communities, inter-node protocols, terminal and switching equipments,   and communications technology.   Presentations on embryonic systems are especially invited.   Tentative Agenda   Session I and II -- Description of Specific Systems   Presentation of specific systems with emphasis on such topics as the   aim of the system and scope; the constraints applied by the   application; the equipment used; protocols; expected lifetime; etc.   Session III -- Functional Capabilities - Alan Weis - IBM Research   This session will discuss such topics as file transmission, the   referencing of foreign data sets, remote job entry protocols,   resource control, data standards, etc.Crocker                                                         [Page 1]

Panel Session -- Network Management Problems - Einar Stefferud -   Consultant   Participation in the workshop will be by invitation from the program   committee and will be limited to 65 persons, in order to facilitiate   discussion.  To encourage free discussion of tentative conclusions,   no workshop proceedings will be published.  The workshop should   stimulate generation of high quality papers for subsequent   publications.   Should you desire to participate in this workshop, please return the   attached questionnaire to the program committee prior to 20 July   1971.  Be sure to arrange any release required by your organization.   A registration fee of $45 includes means and housing.   Invitations will be mailed to selected participants approximately 15   August 1971.

'                   GENERAL INFORMATION ON IEEE WORKSHOPS   What is a Workshop?   The objectives of these workshops are:      To clarify, by exhaustive and off-the-record discussion between      active workers in the field, the merits and disadvantages of      controversial alternative approaches to a specific phase of      computer organization, and to establish the basis for a group of      high-quality papers for IEEE meetings and publications.   The workshop involves four (4) key concepts:   1.  Small number of participants to permit exhaustive discussion:   2.  Off-the-record proceedings to allow discussion of incomplete and       preliminary results:   3.  Selected mature participants to obviate the need for tutorial and       introductory material:   4.  A carefully defined topic to keep the discussion in focus.   Off-The-Record Meetings   To permit discussion of incomplete and tentative results, information   at the workshop cannot be published.  Slides or blackboards may not   be photographed so the workshop does not constitute disclosure in the   sense of the Patent Law.  After the meeting, participants are   encouraged to publish significant contributions.   Selected Participants   By limiting the workshop to a small number of active workers, mature   scientists knowledgeable in the specific area under discussion,   formal papers can be displaced by brief opening statements followed   by an open discussion.Crocker                                                         [Page 3]

Publication of Results   One measure of the success of a workshop is the resulting publication   of research.  While the workshop itself is closed, it should serve as   a stimulus to generate a series of high-quality papers for subsequent   open meetings.   Session Organization   The workshop is divided into four (4) scheduled sessions, each   centered on one phase of the problem to be discussed.  Normally, the   workshop chairman will assign to each session chairman the task of   clarifying the subsidiary questions to be discussed in his session.   Each session is divided into "talks." The speakers are designated as   discussion leaders.  Most participants at the workshop will be   discussion leaders at one of the sessions.  The session chairman will   attempt to provide each speaker with the time he requests (within   limits).  Normally, five to ten minutes will be allowed for formal   presentation, with 15 to 30 minutes reserved for discussion and   debate.  In addition, the chairman may include a general discussion   period at the end of the session.Crocker                                                         [Page 4]
