				SIGWEB #4
		       Where Are We Going, and Why?


A panel discussion in two parts, featuring...
  Dale Dougherty        O'Reilly & Associates
  Barry Leiner          Internet Activities Board and USRA
  Clifford Lynch        UC Division of Library Automation
  Marty Tenenbaum       Enterprise Integration Technologies
  Terry Winograd        Stanford University

Part 1: The Global/National Internet Community
The first part of the meeeting will be a general discussion about the 
state-of-the-art in (internet-based) information systems and where it 
is/should-be/will-be going.  How do the Internet community and Internet-based 
information tools fit into the development of a National Information 
Infrastructure in the U.S.?  What is the future of Internet-based information 
systems?  What are the biggest obstacles facing us in the next five
years?

Part 2: The S.F. Bay Area Internet Community (i.e. SIGWEB)
The second part of this meeting will focus more narrowly on how the local
community, i.e. SIGWEB, fits into the vision(s) elucidated in the first part.
Our intention is for the meeting to help forge a more solid identity/mission
for the group.  Who are we?  Why do we show up for these meetings?  Where are
we each/all going?  What is the role of SIGWEB?  If there's anything else we
should be doing, who is willing/able to do it and what kind of help do you
need?

Prepared statements will be kept to a minimum, this is an audience
participation free-for-all.  Please come prepared to join in the discussion.

Location: Amdahl Corporation - Sunnyvale, CA
    Date: February 3rd, 1994
    Time: 2:00 - 5:00 PM

Directions to be announced shortly.
