A Workshop for the Future of Networking for Research and Education; August, 1996; Colorado Springs, Colorado

研究和教育网络的主要贡献者被邀请参加这一战略研讨会。这将是一系列会议中的第三次，并将在4月15日和16日在华盛顿特区举行的FARNET/NTTF联席会议以及9月9日举行的关于国家投资者和高等教育问题的蒙特利研讨会的基础上再接再厉。1995年。早些时候的会议召集了领先的高等教育、研究和支持组织的成员，以更好地了解高等教育对高级网络的需求和要求。1995年9月蒙特利会议的与会者普遍认为：1)明日大学对通讯的要求不明确，2)领导层，也许完全由私营部门提供的服务不太可能提供解决方案。这些结论促成了一系列解决这两个问题的活动。4月15日至16日在华盛顿特区举行的会议上提出了一些满足这些需求和要求的战略文件草案。我们在科罗拉多州斯普林斯-夏延山度假村研讨会上的目标是进一步开发和评估这些模型，讨论和评估关键的技术问题，并讨论实施战略的联盟和组织结构。

Key contributors to research and education networking are being invited to participate in this strategic workshop. This will be the third in a series and will build on the FARNET/NTTF joint meeting on April 15 and16 in Washington, DC as well as the Monterey workshop on the NII and Higher Education in Sept. 1995. The earlier meetings convened members of leading higher education, research and supporting organizations to better understand the needs and requirements of higher education for advanced networking. The participants at the Monterey conference in September of 1995, were in general agreement that 1) the requirements for communications for tomorrow1s university are not clearly articulated and 2) leadership, and perhaps services exclusively from the private sector are not likely to provide the solution. These conclusions spawned a number activities addressing both issues. A number of draft strategy documents addressing the fulfillment of those needs and requirements were presented at the April 15-16 Washington, DC meeting. Our objectives at the Colorado Springs-Cheyenne Mountain Resort workshop will be to further develop and evaluate those models, discuss and evaluate critical technical issues, and discuss alliances and organizational structure to implement the strategy.
