Date: April 27 - April 29 Location: Breckenridge, Colorado As you know, John Griebling is managing the network design and construction project currently under way in EBS. The Research Group is actively involved in this effort which requires advanced quantitative skills in the area of stochastic optimization and stochastic processes (for modeling and forecasting Internet traffic flows). The objective of this meeting is to develop common language and accomplish transfer of skills between the two groups, to facilitate cooperation on this project in the future. We are inviting Ken Rice and Joe Hirko to this meeting. We would appreciate if you could speak, together with Joe and Ken, on strategic directions of EBS. It is important for a group of technical people, with relatively specialized technical skills, to understand the big picture. I am attaching the preliminary agenda for this meeting. Vince
