       Announcement / Preliminary Program / Registration Form

                               NSC'94

                 The Network Services Conference 1994
                      Great Western Royal Hotel
                 London, England, 28-30 November 1994



Invitation
- - ----------

Open computer networking is no longer the sole domain of universities
and research institutions. Today, governments, schools, public
organizations, commercial enterprises and private individuals are
actively using and supplying information over the global Internet.

How will these various network communities cooperate and interact? How
will the academic and research community adapt to the new network
reality? How will the network and networking tools now available stand
up to the explosion in number of users and amount of information
available? How will we train novices? What will we pay for and what will
be for free as the commercialization of the network progresses? Will we
be inundated by advertising over the net? These are only a few of the
questions facing network service providers and users alike.

Building on the success of the previous Network Services Conferences in
Pisa (1992) and Warsaw (1993), NSC'94 will focus on the issue of
providing services to customers, paying special attention to the
exciting developments in global tools and services. We will address the
impact of the new global tools on service development and support, the
changing function of traditional tools and services (such as archives),
new services (such as multi-media communications), the future role of
the library and the effects of commercialization on networks and network
services. Customer support at all levels, and the role of support in
accessing global services, will also be covered.

Talks, tutorials,  demonstrations and  other conference  activities will
address the needs of  the research, academic, educational, government,
industrial, and commercial network communities.

NSC'94 is being organized by the EARN (European Academic and Research
Network) Association in cooperation with the Internet Society, RARE,
RIPE, NORDUnet and EUnet.

What can be said about London in a few meagre paragraphs that has not
been said in thousands of pages written throughout the centuries?
Instead, we invite you to browse the information on London available
from the EARN World-Wide Web server at:

this conference!).

The conference will be held at the Great Western Royal Hotel, near the
Paddington railway station. The Great Western is one of the best 3 star
conference venues in London, and very easy to get to, as it is situated
