NSF TO HOST DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES
ON LARGE SCALE NETWORKING

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will host the first of a Large Scale
Networking (LSN) Distinguished Networking Lecture Series beginning on
September 11, 2001.  The series is sponsored by the federal LSN Working
Group, which coordinates research among NSF, the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. Department of Energy, the National
Institutes of Health, NASA and the National Institute of Standards and
Technology.  The talks will help promote a national discussion of advanced
networking topics for science and engineering research community.  LSN
research and infrastructure requirements are rapidly changing, and speakers
will address issues that they expect to shape this field over the next five
to seven years.

Journalists are invited to attend any of the talks in this series, to be
held at NSF headquarters in Arlington, VA.  The lectures will also be
