I'd be grateful if you could distribute the following notice to colleagues
with an interest in (tele)communications. There are twenty free places for
UK academic staff and research students. These will be allocated on a
first-come-first-served basis, so early registration is desirable.

FORCES Project Colloquium - Telecommunications Convergence
Monday 4th December 2000, IEE, London
Telecommunications services and the networks that support them are
converging in many respects. Fixed and wireless provision is being brought
under one umbrella. Voice and data transmission are becoming even more
integrated. Traditional carrier networks are being supplemented by IP
networks. Unifying service architectures and APIs are appearing.
Development methods are increasingly focusing on common object-oriented
platforms and languages.
The colloquium will bring together industrial and academic participants with
a common interest in making convergence happen. Presentations will address
the network technologies, service architectures, object-oriented languages
and development environments underpinning this convergence.
The colloquium description is available online as:
