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 also inviting to this off-site senior management of EBS and plan to have on the agenda several presentations about strategic directions of EBS. The effort of network design and construction currently under way is unprecedented in terms of its scope and complexity and it is important for technical people, who often have highly specialized technical skills, to understand the broad picture. I would appreciate if you could join us for Friday afternoon (April 28) and Saturday (April 29). I understand that you have commitments on Thursday and Friday morning. We have reorganized the tentative agenda of the meeting to devote Friday afternoon to more general topics. Vince
