Subject: Preliminary Agenda for AIW 12

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 96 12:49:13 EST

The APPN Implementers Workshop (AIW 12) will be held at the North Raleigh
Hilton on November 4-6, 1996.  The AIW presents a great opportunity to
learn more about APPN, meet with other APPN implementers, enjoy good
food, and get stuff.

The preliminary agenda for AIW 12 is attached.  Again, we have listed
prerequisites for various sessions in order to indicate what background
knowledge will be assumed by the speakers or SIG Chairs.

The first day will comprise valuable tutorials on APPN, HPR and ATM.
For the benefit of those who are attending their first AIW, we have added
a tutorial introduction to the AIW.

Rick McGee, Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, IBM
Networking Hardware Division, will speak during the second day on the
future of high-speed networking.  Attendees will also hear an interesting
talk on APPN at the Olympics.  The remaining sessions will consist of
working groups addressing the latest additions to the APPN architecture,
including HPR extensions for ATM, extended border node, and network
management.

There have also been expressions of interest in holding a BOF session to
consider an APPN demo at Interop.  Please let us know if you would like
to participate in such a BOF, or if you have any other comments or
concerns with this agenda.  By the way, we will be meeting in a different
wing of the hotel, so look for us in our new location toward the back of
the hotel.

For further information, including a registration form, you may either
