Communication
networks play a key role following a disaster such as a fire, structural
collapse or an earthquake. They can be used to locate victims, track
emergency rescue workers, and provide communication capabilities to
victims and rescue workers. They can also provide communication
capabilities to concerned parties such as family members as well as to
other assistance providers such as police, government agencies, etc.
The 1st IEEE Workshop
on Disaster Recovery Networks invites participation in this international
forum on innovative network technologies, architectures, and services that
can be effectively deployed during disaster recovery.

Discover
Magazine
and IEEE Communications Society will present a roundtable discussion on
Monday, 24 June, 2002 from 15:30 to 17:00. A distinguished panel of eight
experts on computing and engineering will tackle the controversial topic:
"Will software replace engineers?" An article based entirely on
this discussion will appear in an upcoming issue of Discover. Find out
long before the reading public does just how quickly good software is
replacing years of education and skill. Can a novice design a decent
memory chip without ever having taken a course in computing? Does good
software solve most math, engineering and design problems that years of
human skill and expertise used to be better at? Are engineering problems
becoming so complex that even a large group of engineers can't design
something like the Pentium IV without computers? These and many more
questions will be answered in this lively presentation. And bring your own
attitude and ideas -- the question and answer session following the
roundtable is certain to be fun.
This
event is open to all attendees of INFOCOM 2002.

OPENARCH'02
| Date: |
Friday June 28 & Saturday

The Fifth IEEE Conference on Open Architectures and Network Programming
continues the tradition of a lively international forum on open and
programmable networks. Advances in open and programmable network elements
are redefining network software architectures and moving control and
management systems away from traditional closed/rigid solutions. OPENARCH
2002 will foster understanding of these new network architectures and
techniques. OPENARCH
2002
will be held in conjunction with Infocom 2002 on June 28-29 in Hilton New
York.
