> The head of Intel's architecture group says peer-to-peer networking
> technologies such as Napster are as revolutionary to the Web as were
> the first browsers.
>
>
> Patrick Gelsinger, chief technology officer of Intel's architecture group,
> said Napster and other peer-to-peer networking technologies are "a
> revolution that will change computing as we know it." Peer-to-peer networks
> allow any Net-connected computer to talk to any other without having to go
> through centralized servers.
>
> Napster and its cousins, Gnutella and Freenet, were comparable to Mosaic,
> the first Web browser from the University of Illinois that made the Web
> accessible to the masses for the first time.
>
> New middleware applications will be required for collaboration, file
> sharing, intelligent agents like virus sentinels, and distributed computing.
>
> Gelsinger announced the formation of the peer-to-peer working group
> www.peer-to-peerwg.org, a consortium of 19 companies that are mostly
> distributed computing startups but also including IBM and Hewlett Packard.
> The group intends to establish standards for management and security, define
> protocols, and hammer out solutions.

> CANARIE's 6th Advanced Networks Workshop
> Theme: "The Networked Nation"
>
>
> November 28 and 29, 2000
> Palais des Congrès
> Montreal, Quebec - Canada
>
> CANARIE, Canada's Advanced Internet Development Organization, is pleased to
> host its 6th Annual Advanced Networks Workshop.
>
> This year's theme, "The Networked Nation", will focus on application
> architectures ("grids") made up of customer owned dark fiber and next
> generation Internet networks like CA*net 3 that will ultimately lead to the
> development of the networked nation where eventually every school, home and
> business will have high bandwidth connection to the Internet.
>
> The conference will have 3 separate tracks focusing on how these fundamental
> concepts in next generation Internet will contribute to the building of the
> networked nation.
>
> The first track will focus on the latest development in customer owned dark
> fiber for schools, hospitals, businesses and homes. A number of invited
> speakers from municipalities, school boards and governments from around the
> world who are in the process of deploying, or are planning to deploy
> customer owned dark fiber networks will be featured. The speakers will talk
> about their real world experiences in deploying such networks and the
> significant new applications that are made possible by these type of
> networks.
>
> The second track will focus on next generation optical Internet
> architectures that will be a natural and seamless extension of the customer
> owned dark fiber networks being built for schools, homes and businesses.
> Speakers from advanced research networks around the world who are building
> next generation Internet networks will be featured in this track. Recent
> developments in optical Internet architectures including customer-controlled
> wavelengths will also be discussed.
>
> Finally the third track will focus on the deployment of "application grids",
> which are a seamless integration of dark fiber and optical networks to
> support specific collaborative research and education applications. These
> grids allow users who have access to customer owned dark fiber or optical
> networks like CA*net 3 to undertake data collection and distributed
> computing which in turn will allow researchers, students and sometimes the
> broader public to participate in the acquisition and analysis of
> information. A number of invited speakers will talk about current
> application grids that are currently being planned or deployed including
> seismic, undersea, high energy, high performance and ecological
> applications.
>
> Application grids such as these might well point the way towards a new mode
> of science and education, one that is built on a much more distributed,
> network-enabled process of data collection and analysis, and a much more
> tightly coupled process of problem solving among researchers and educators.
>
> The following is a list of confirmed speakers and topics:
>
> Guy Almes - Vice-President Network Development, Advanced Network & Services,
> Inc. is dedicated to advancing education and science through the promotion,
> use, and diffusion of networking technology.
