The NYSERNet Network: The Next Three Years, 1993 through 1995

9310796 Mandelbaum NYSERNet，Inc.请求提供资源，以便在1995年之前继续发展NYSERNet的纽约州高速数据通信网。利用这些资源，NYSERNet将：1.建立和支持新的高带宽应用以及技术和最终用户群体；2.扩大对其成员和附属机构的技术支持和用户服务支持；3.为纽约州的K-12全国研究和教育网络(NREN)的接入工作提供重要的建议和指导。NYSERNet面临的挑战包括：1)提供新的能力，例如：图像传输、多媒体数据库访问和多媒体邮件；基于交互式网络的远程教育；以及上述其他应用程序；2)继续改进网络服务，以支持自然科学、社会科学、数学、工程、人文和卫生科学的研究人员、学者和教育工作者的广泛变化和不断增加的用户社区；3)确保在未来几年对NSFNet进行有计划的改变后，NYSERNET的分支机构继续享受它们现在在国内和国际上的相互联系；以及4)提高网络对老练用户和新用户的效用。这个社区的增长和发展有四个方面：1)在更多的NYSERNet成员和附属网站上将有更多的用户；2)每个用户将更多地使用网络；3)每次使用将更加复杂；以及4)将有更多的新应用，特别是在交互计算、可视化和协作领域。***

9310796 Mandelbaum NYSERNet, Inc. requests resources for continued development of NYSERNet's New York State high speed data communications network through 1995. With these resources NYSERNet will; 1. Establish and support new high bandwidth applications and technical and end-user users groups; 2. Expand technical support and user services support for its members and affiliates; 3. Provide significant advice and direction to New York State's K-12 National Research and Education Network (NREN) access efforts. The challenge facing NYSERNet include: 1) delivering new capabilities, such as: Image Transfer, Multi-Media Database Access and Multi-Media Mail; interactive-network based distance learning; and the other applications described above; 2) continually improving network services in support of research and education to a widely varied and increasing user community of researchers, scholars, and educators in the natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, engineering, humanities, and health sciences; 3) insuring that, after the next several years of planned changes to the NSFNET, NYSERNET's affiliates continue to enjoy the interconnectedness they now have, both nationally and internationally; and 4) increasing the utility of the Network to both sophisticated and new users. There are four dimensions of growth and development of this community: 1) there will be more users at more NYSERNet member and affiliate sites; 2) each user will make more use of the network; 3) each use will be more complex; and 4) there will be more new applications, especially in the areas of interactive computing, visualization, and collaboration. ***
