NSF to Host Distinguished Lecture Series on Large
Scale Networking
The National Science Foundation (NSF) will host the
first of a Large Scale Networking (LSN) Distinguished
Networking Lecture Series beginning on September 11,
2001. The series is sponsored by the federal LSN Working
Group, which coordinates research among NSF, the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S.
Department of Energy, the National Institutes of Health,
NASA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The talks will help promote a national discussion
of advanced networking topics for science and engineering
research community. LSN research and infrastructure
requirements are rapidly changing, and speakers will
address issues that they expect to shape this field
over the next five to seven years.
Journalists are invited to attend any of the talks
in this series, to be held at NSF headquarters in
Arlington, VA. The lectures will also be available
via the web at http://www.ngi-supernet.org/conferences.html,
requiring RealPlayer (available for free at http://www.realnetworks.com/).
NOTE: All lectures begin at 2:00 eastern.
