                         Call for Papers 
 
 
The seventh annual Canadian Networking Conference will be held at 
McGill University in Montreal on June 15-17, 1993.  Networking '93 
is held under the auspices of the CA*net, CANARIE Associates, 
NetNorth and CDNnet, and the regional networks across Canada. 
 
The Program Committee for Net'93 is seeking contributed papers 
for this year's conference.  The theme of the conference is 
 
        NETWORK APPLICATIONS -- WHAT'S NEXT? 
 
Papers relating to the theme or topics of practical interest to 
the participants will be considered including: 
 
     o    New and interesting network-related applications software 
     o    Network management tools and techniques 
     o    The Network as a tool - how networks enable new capabilities 
               (both within organizations and over wide geographic areas 
     o    User experience with commercial and home-grown products 
     o    Multimedia in a networked environment 
     o    Library applications and library evolution 
     o    Networking in specialized areas.  Examples include 
               medicine and astrophysics. 
 
The program will also include papers reporting on networking 
developments at the national and regional level within Canada 
as well as internationally. 
 
In late November 1992, CANARIE Associates was formed.  As you may 
know, CANARIE is a initiative sponsored by Industry, Science and 
Technology Canada which, when implemented, will be funding a number 
of network related areas including a major upgrade in CA*net 
bandwidth.  We expect much of Networking '93 to focus on how 
these changes will effect networking in Canada and how we can 
capitalize on them. 
 
Board meetings for a number of organizations (CA*net, NetNorth) 
will be held on Monday, June 14th. 
 
Prospective contributors should provide the following by the 
dates specified. 
 
     March 1       Notify the program committee of intent to
