Maximize Your Performance and Security on the Web

Dear Colleague:

Are you involved in the support or development of Internet technologies and systems? Are you constantly being pressed to improve performance and security? If you are, this first-time symposium is a special opportunity to learn from real-life experiences and take home solutions to problems you face every day.

You can attend technical presentations which deliver reports of the latest research applicable to your home site. The technical presentations will put you on top of issues in caching, servers, security, applications, information retrieval, and monitoring.

On Monday, December 8, choose among four half-day tutorials on Java Security; Web Security; Enhancing Performance on the Web; and Fault-Tolerance, High Availability, and Network Design. Tutorials are led by experienced teachers who address your concerns; you'll enjoy these tutorials and use the information immediately. See the individual tutorials for detailed descriptions.

There will be plenty of time for meeting your peers and sharing problems and solutions in organized luncheons, receptions, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs). Remember, you can organize a BoF on any topic you choose, or present a Work-In-Progress Report on new work not ready to be published.

The program content is designed to put you on top of new technologies. The program quality is unsurpassed. You need this information. We are providing it at USITS '97.

I hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Carl Staelin,
Hewlett-Packard
Program Chair
