>******************************************
>
>The Internet Society is pleased to announce the 11th Annual
>INET Summit, to be held at the Stockholm Fairs in Stockholm,
>Sweden, 5-8 June 2001.
>
>"MOBILITY and the INTERNET" is the main theme. This includes
>wireless, WAP, iMode, roaming PDAs, mobile cyberbuses to reach
>remote areas, and how the Internet is assisting the flow of migrants,
>diaspora groups, consultants, tourists, and employees as they move
>between home, workplace, and international destinations. Does the
>Internet mean the death of distance, or will we travel even more as our
>ties and alliances reach further as the Internet spreads?
>
>This year we invite you to propose a variety of content that will keep
>the conference sessions relevant, interesting, and interactive. While
>traditional papers are welcome, we are looking for innovation and new
>ideas. This includes moderated panel discussions, demonstrations,
>debates involving the audience, task-oriented workshops, poster
>sessions, tutorials and experimental formats such as Open Forum.
>For INET 2001, we look for more new ideas that will involve the
>audience rather than simply "present" information to them.
>
>THE THREE SUMMITS
>Within this conference, there will be three separate Summits, each
>with a cluster of related topics. Submit your proposals in a written
>abstract for consideration by the Program Committee members.
>
>Proposals are being solicited in three areas:
>
>1. TECHNOLOGY Summit
>
>A key reason of the success of the Internet lies in its supporting
>technologies, many of which are conceptually unique in the history of
>telecommunications and computer networking. The summit will address
>the relevant technical fields, from infrastructure to application
>technologies, with special emphasis on advanced topics. This includes
>photonic technologies, very high speed transmission, switching
>and routing systems, protocols for very high rate transfers, server
>architecture, security, techniques for network and service management,
>technologies for multimedia broadcasting, as well as transmission
>systems and devices in support of mobility, wireless and roaming.
>
>2. GOVERNANCE, LEGISLATION & REGULATION Summit
>
>As the Internet grows in importance, battles grow in ferocity over
>privacy, objectionable content, copyright, government surveillance,
>inequity of taxation for traditional businesses, the controversial role
>of non-governmental bodies such as ICANN, and many issues of local
>concern. Conflict in real world is also present in online battlegrounds
>between nations and dissident groups.
>
>3. USES OF THE INTERNET Summit
>
>Those of us who live on the Internet forget that most of the world's
>people are not connected. In addition, many others live at the Edge of
>the Net. Yet others are in the mainstream and use applications for
>learning, commerce, collaboration, and archiving. Activists are using
>the technology to oppose and promote globalization. Criminals are
>linking up disparate groups to improve their operations. Large sums are
>poured into programs to address the inequity of access in developing
>countries and for marginalized groups and to share medical and practical
>scientific information. Artists are experimenting with wireless to link
>up communities. Public electronic space is being paved over by
>commercial interests, but many commercial sites have failed in the past
>year, and investors have been cutting their losses. Young people are
>using the net in old ways and new ones. What is happening where you
>live?
>
>OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
>The official language of the conference is English with some limited
>translation available by special prearrangement. Some limited financial
>assistance will be available for participants or invited speakers with
>specific needs. High-speed connectivity and audio/visual equipment
>will be provided on-site in the session rooms.
>
