第99届国会要求“研究美国大学和联邦研究机构的研究计算机（包括超级计算机）通信网络的关键问题和当前及未来选择”，联邦科学工程与技术协调委员会将召集来自大学、工业和联邦研究中心的通信和超级计算机专家的研讨会/会议。圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（SDSC）已同意在2月16日至20日主办这次规划研讨会/会议，SDSC将计划会议的后勤工作，协助准备先进材料，并提供“现场”概述超级计算机中心和通信操作中心在加州大学圣地亚哥分校附近的总部。根据第132 .c.(3)(b)号通告，此规划会议提案免于同行评审。基于上述情况，DNCRI建议向GA技术公司拨款13,688美元，用于举办一次规划会议/研讨会，研究当前和未来关于计算机网络发展的选择。

Responding to a charge of the 99th Congress for "a study of critical problems and current and future options regarding communications networks for research computers, including supercomputers, at universities and Federal research facilities in the United States," the Federal Coordinating Council for Science Engineering and Technology will convene a workshop/conference of communications and supercomputer experts from universities, industry, and Federal research centers. The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) has agreed to host this planning workshop/conference on February 16 - 20, SDSC will plan the logistics of the meeting and assist in the preparation of advance materials and provide an "on site" overview of a supercomputer center and a communication operation center at their headquarters near the University of California, San Diego. This proposal for a planning conference is exempt from peer review under Circular No. 132 4.c.(3)(b). Based on the foregoing, DNCRI recommends that a grant be made to the GA Technologies for $13,688 to host a Planning Conference/Workshop for the study of current and future options regarding advances in computer networks.
