TCCC Meeting Minutes - INFOCOM '97 |
The TCCC meeting took place at Infocom'97 in Kobe,
Japan, Thursday, April 10, 1997, from 17:00 (5 pm) to 19:00 (7 pm).
Infocom 97
The program chairs are pleased to announce that Infocom 97
was very successful. Attendance was the second highest in
Infocom history with over 530 attendees and more than 230
tutorial attendees. Many positive comments were received
about the quality of the local arrangement (hotel, food,
conference site, etc.), and many attendees were pleasently
surprised to find out that staying in Japan is not as expensive
as they perceived it to be.
Special message from Tatsuya Suda
:
-
The success of Infocom 97 owes to each and every one of you who
volunteered his/her time in various ways. Thanks a million from the
bottom of my heart!

- TCCC representative:

- Initial proposal:
- By the time I got involved with representing TCCC the MILCOM people
had already decided on a first draft of the technical program and the
session topics. I volunteered TCCC to organize and chair three
unclassified technical sessions and one half-day tutorial. The three
technical sessions proposed were: Video conferencing, Mobile systems,
and Commercial and tactical internets. The proposed 1/2 day tutorial
was on video conferencing technology.
- Final outcome:
- TCCC is sponsoring and charing one technical session (Video
conferencing for military applications) and one 1/2 day tutorial (Video
conferencing technology).
