NEW SIRI SERVICES
PROVIDING YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK...
Following feedback from our readers, the SIRI (Service integre de ressources
d'information/Integrated Service for Information Resources) team at the Canadian
Workplace Automation Research Centre (CWARC) is in the process of revising its
products, services and policies.
For anyone in an interdisciplinary field wanting to remain fully up-to-date,
scanning multiple journals on a regular basis is critical. It is, however, a
time-consuming activity. Moreover, one may not necessarily have access to all
the relevant periodicals dealing with the subject being researched. The
objective of the SIRI team, therefore, is to offer through FLASH INFORMATION and
a new additional product (which is yet to be named), a selective dissemination
of information specifically geared towards the information needs of researchers
and management within the fields of information management and information
technologies. These electronic publications will keep our readers up-to-date
by providing details of relevant newly published information scanned from some
300 journals and news bulletins from our collection on a weekly basis.
OUR NEW FORMAT....
The SIRI team is working toward improving the contents, format and access of
FLASH INFORMATION. Future issues of FLASH INFORMATION, our bibliographic issue
of articles on information technologies and industry news, for example, will be
more comprehensive and entries will be grouped under general subject headings.
Topics identified reflect the Centre's main research interests which include
language technology, content engineering, multimedia, human-computer interaction
issues, and learning technologies. An indexed listing of the journals scanned
will be provided upon request.
OUR NEW PRODUCT....
Whereas FLASH INFORMATION is a list of titles of articles, our new product will
consist of abstracts of articles. This publication will provide researchers and
management with news on strategic alliances within the industry and the Canadian
government, industry news and issues, market and R & D trends, and recent
developments in information/computer/communications related fields. These
abstracts will be distributed jointly with FLASH INFORMATION.
The list of subject headings, an example of FLASH INFORMATION in its new format
and sample entries of our new product are included.
TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK....
Up to now FLASH INFORMATION has been made available free of charge. We will
continue sending you FLASH INFORMATION together with our new publication free
until September. In order to provide you with the new products and services,
however, a minimal subscription fee may be charged beginning September in order
to recover some of the production costs.
We would like to accommodate the needs of as many readers as possible; we would
appreciate it, therefore, if you could supply us with the name and the
electronic
address of anyone who may be interested in our services. If you have any new
ideas, suggestions or comments, please contact us at Siri@aigle.ccrit.doc.ca.

Telco Deals Start Paying Off
Source: Computing Canada, April 26, 1993, pp. 32-34
by James Buchok
ABSTRACT: As a result of alliances between Canadian-U.S.-based companies
such as the one forged by Stentor Alliance of Canada's and MCI Communications
Corp., telecommunication rates have been greatly reduced. The two companies
have
recently introduced the cross-border virtual corporate network (VCN), known as
the Advantage VNet, providing networking services to large Canadian businesses.
Virtual networks allow sharing of long distance voice and data lines with other
customers bringing rates down by as much as 30 to 50 percent. Further, high
volume users can also benefit from discounts of up to 22 percent off their total
bill.
The linking of Stentor's Impac service with MCI's HyperStream will create the
first international frame relay service available in the world. HyperStream, as
the service has been named, will provide a cross-border, high-speed frame relay
data network linking local area networks between cities.
Stentor's main competitor, AT&T which forged an alliance with Unitel in January,
has introduced a software package similar to Advantage VNet, the SDN (Software
Defined Network).

Tire-kicking Technology: AMS' Chief Technology Officer Describes his Firm's New
Lab
Source: Computerworld, May 3, 1993, pp. 28-29
ABSTRACT: American Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) is opening a Center for
Advanced Technologies as an applied research laboratory in Fairfax, VA. this
month. The systems integrator and software house which aims at becoming a
technology leader will focus on the following research areas:
1. Applications architecture;
2. Client/server technology;
3. Collaborative work environments;
4. Computer/Human interaction;
5. Mobile computing;
6. Multimedia;
7. Object technology;
8. Performance and measurement.
Topics emphasized will be object technology (development languages, tools and
DBMS), multimedia (applications with interactive video and audio), and mobile
computing (pen-based computing, wireless data communications and the integration
of mobile technologies with client/server systems). Activities will include
software performance testing particularly in complex client/server applications
involving multiple systems and multiple servers. The research focus, however,
is expected to change to match business needs.
