include:

	-- ONC and PC LANs 
	-- Market implications of ONC/NFS on mainframes

The keynote speech will be given by Dr. Douglas Engelbart of Stanford
University.  Dr. Engelbart, a computer industry visionary whose

vision of this project is to push the frontiers of information
management, hypermedia, groupware and organizational evolution with the
goal of bootstrapping organizations into the 21st century.
