Jon is right - there isn't a simple answer, the meeting evolved. And David & Derek are also right about UNIVERSE & UNISON contributing to the origin. Michael: I have in my archive (aka workshop) a printed proceedings for 1990 - but that may not be the first year we produced actual proceedings. And I hadn't noticed the Chilton computing site had put up some details of UNIVERSE - pity OUP pulped the unsold copies of the book years ago :-( As some of you know, I'm in history mode at the moment, having just finished the first draft of a history of JANET: so I'm doing a little checking - i.e., enquiring of one or two of the others responsible for the earliest meetings. I'll get back to the list.

When this project finished everyone thought that it would be a good idea to have an annual networks meeting in the Coseners House. I think this would have been the late 1980's. It became known as NGN much later than this, I think around the early 2000's, but I may be wrong here. >> >> David >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Next Generation Networking [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jon Crowcroft >> Sent: 28 April 2010 16:06 >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Subject: Re: When was the first cosner's meeting >> >> In missive <[log in to unmask]>, Ad >> am Greenhalgh typed: >> >>>> Can anyone remember when the first cosner's NGN meeting was ? >> Adam >> >> there isn't 1 answer - there's the NGNs since Ian has been running, >> but there were the MSN meetings before which as far as I know went >> back to the early/mid 1980s and evolved out of the Universe project >> (Cambridge, UCL,, Loughborough, Logica and others) >> and related work.... >> >> cheers >> >> jon > > This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment > may still contain software viruses which could damage your computer system: > you are advised to perform your own checks.
