The conference will offer tutorials on Athena Network Services: Kerberos (authentication service), Zephyr (instantaneous messaging service), Hesiod (naming service), and Moira (system management service). The conference will also offer discussions of distributed file services, changes made to UNIX (TM) to support distributed computing, installation, distributed printing, building applications on Athena Network Services, and the provision of On-Line Consulting and support services in a distributed environment. This conference will bring together a highly qualified panel of experts on various aspects of Athena-style distributed computing environments. The program will also include an organizing meeting to launch an Athena Users Group. Who should attend? The conference will be of particular interest to systems administrators and UNIX (TM) systems programmers developing tools which use Athena-style distributed computing. The conference sessions will be held from 8:30 to 5:00 on both days, with a dinner and meeting on Thursday evening, April 11th (see tentative agenda below).
