Call for Participation "Higher Education and the NII - from Vision to Reality" Monterey, CaliforniaSeptember 26 - 29, 1995
The enormous growth of the Internet and its emergence as the ubiquitous foundation upon which the National Information Infrastructure will be built provides both opportunity and challenge for colleges and universities.
The theme of the 1995 conference emphasizes the steps required over the next few years to turn the potential of advanced information infrastructure into reality for higher education. This year's event follows in the steps of a very successful Monterey conference held in September, 1992, which was devoted to higher education and the NREN - the National Research and Education Network.
In keeping with the theme of the conference, the Steering Committee solicits papers in the following areas:
Scholarly Communication and Publishing
Networked Applications to Support Instruction and Learning
Economics of Networks and Computer Based Information Resources
Broadband Network Technologies
Networked Research Collaboration Technologies
Training Resources for the Networked Environment
Common Solutions for Networked Applications Requirements
Within the general subject areas, papers are sought which reflect successful plans, policies, designs, experiments, models, testbeds, and implementations which are of direct benefit to institutions of higher education and their constituencies. This list is not intended to arbitrarily limit the range of topics which may be selected by participating organizations. If you wish to make a contribution in an area not listed, please contact us.
This is a working conference, with all attendees expected to participate in small discussion groups. In order to make the occasion of maximum benefit, participating organizations must submit a paper in advance of the conference that will be distributed with the conference materials and used as the basis for presentation and discussion at the meeting. Papers, which should not exceed 5000 words and must minimally be in the form of complete working drafts, are due not later than August 1, 1995. A conference proceedings will be published, and authors will have a post-conference opportunity to update their papers based on discussion and debate in Monterey. In order to facilitate the establishment of working groups for discussion of papers, please provide us with a 150 word abstract of your paper not later than May 31, 1995.
