LIST OF PLANNED HPDC DEMONSTRATIONS

The organizing committee of HPDC-5 encourages submission of demonstrations pertinent to the conference program. Live demonstration will be featured during the special HPDC demonstration session. They will also be available during most of the conference in a demonstration area we plan to set up.

We will provide the following equipment to support demonstrations:

All these platforms will have Netscape2 browsers and Java environment for Java-based servers. We plan to provide full Internet access with DNS services.

For ATM demos, we will provide a (limited) number of workstations with ATM NICs. The conference site will be connected via one OC3 link to NYNET, the New York State ATM network. It is also possible to arrange for access to vBNS. For such requests, the setup of the remote end of the link will be responsibility of the requestor. The requestor will also responsible for obtaining an approval from NSF and vBNS for the ATM link. HPDC staff will handle local link setup for PVCs ending at the Cornell Theory Center vBNS access point. We are prepared to support connections based on either end-to-end PVCs or on the Classical IP.

It is possible to arrange for more elaborate demo setups. Such requests however must be received by HPDC-5 organizers no later than July 1, 1996. We will try to acommodate complex requests one a per case basis. We reserve the right to decline requests deemed too expensive to arrange.

To register demonstrations and for help in their setup, please, contact Marek Podgorny, marek@npac.syr.edu, tel.: (315) 443-4879

The HPDC demonstrations will feature the following projects:

CONFERENCE LOCATION

HPDC-5 will be held at the ONCenter, Syracuse, N.Y., (800 S. State Street) only a ten minute drive from Syracuse's Hancock International Airport. Syracuse is located in the heart of New York State, with a population of 500,000, located 280 miles northwest of New York City and less than a day's drive from Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Toronto and Cleveland. Amtrak and Greyhound terminals are within 15 minutes of downtown Syracuse. Nearby attractions include Skaneateles Lake (a 45 minute drive), nearby Carousel Center with over 170 stores, food court and 12 cinemas, the Everson Museum of Art, Museum of Science and Technology, and the Syracuse University campus. You may take the OnTrack Express Shuttle to the Carousel Center. Visit the Syracuse University web site at http://www.syr.edu/index.html and access information on the Syracuse Region, and maps.

Weather: Weather in August tends to be warm and humid. However, there may be cool or rainy days. You may want to bring clothes appropriate for a change in weather.

Transportation: Those arriving at Hancock International Airport may take a taxi or hotel shuttle bus to the Hotel Syracuse. The Hotel is located 2 blocks from the OnCenter.

Email: Will be provided for Conference attendees at the ONCenter.
