> ******************************************
>
> 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.
