PROBLEMEngineers and researchers working with minicomputers and data communication needed a venue to present and discuss emerging techniques.
MECHANISMThe Association of Electrical Engineers in Liege, Belgium organized an international conference for January 1975, inviting papers on topics including mini-computer architecture, protocols, software, fault tolerance and networks.
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENTThe conference brought together specialists to share advances in a rapidly evolving field, with papers accepted by July and presented with English and French translation.

§1Introduction

RFC 631 announces an international meeting on minicomputers and data communication to be held in Liege, Belgium from January 20-22, 1975, organized by the Association of Electrical Engineers. The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working with minicomputers in data communication applications.

There is a conference coming up in Belgium about small computers and how they talk to each other.

§2Topics and Submissions

Papers are invited on topics including mini-computer architecture, protocol definition and representation, software organization, fault-tolerant computing, system evaluation and simulation, terminal pooling, computer networks and packet switching. Authors should submit a 500-word summary and biographical note by June 1, 1974. Accepted papers will be selected by July 1, with full manuscripts due by September 1, 1974. Each presentation is limited to 30 minutes to allow ample discussion time.

You can send papers about the design of small computers, how they talk to each other, how to make them reliable, and networking ideas.

§3Language and Logistics

Papers and presentations may be in English or French, with simultaneous translation provided. Interested authors should submit their summaries and biographical information to Professor A. Danthine, the chairman of the steering committee, at the Universite de Liege in Liege, Belgium.
