According to International Data Corp. (IDC), 70 to 75 percent of Internet-connected organisations have firewalls. In 1995, 10,000 firewalls were sold at an average price of US$16,000 each and in the year 2000, 1.5 million firewalls will be sold at an average price of US$650 each. Yet, users cannot tell whether and how well their firewalls are working. In order to help network managers make better purchasing decisions, the National Computer Security Association (NCSA) will be testing firewalls by putting them through a series of system attacks. The NCSA hopes to complete the tests by late May; results will be posted on the World-Wide Web. Products that have passed the test can display the NCSA stamp of approval. Only the members of the Firewall Product Developers' Consortium will have their products tested and only a few types of attacks will be used in the tests. Some analysts are therefore sceptical about the program's usefulness and the test group's credibility. "Users don't want to get burned in red-hot firewall market," Computer 29 (4) Apr 1996, 10. ISDN (INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK) SPECIFICATION: ISDN provides bandwidth on demand which is hard to adjust once the connection has been made, except when the same vendor's equipment is used on both ends of a call. A new specification, Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP), lets users tailor the amount of bandwidth they use according to the task being performed. For instance, a two-channel, BACP-based product will use zero bandwidth when no activity is occurring, one 64-Kbps channel during moderate traffic, and all 128 Kbps for very large file transfers. Moreover, a person using all 128 Kbps of bandwidth can reduce it in order to let a channel receive a fax or telephone call. If the specification is approved, costs related to using ISDN might be reduced and more users might be attracted to ISDN. "New standard makes ISDN more appealing," Computer 29 (4) Apr. 1996, 12.

Compaq will be shipping a new120MB floppy drive late this month or early next month. The drive is five times faster than existing (1.44MB) drives and the new floppy can hold eighty times more information. Compaq's floppy, LS-120, has a good chance of becoming the next standard; the drive, however, has drawbacks and faces stiff competion from existing products (Iomega's Zip drive, Syquest's 135MB EZ135 drive).

More than half of U.S. corporations will have intranets running by June, compared to 11% last June. Net performance will get worse as traffic is expected to increase fourfold between November 1996 and May 1997. Factors fuelling traffic growth include (1) the increase of new users (due to cheap or even free access); (2) the increase of new Web sites -- the number is expected to double this year to reach 94.7 million; (3) new multimedia content (live radio broadcast, real-time video); and (4) new automated browsing/searching technologies (programs that search and deliver customized news at specified intervals without the user's intervention).

To date, security concerns have been the biggest impediment to Web commerce. Improved security and the growth of the electronic-commerce infrastructure, however, have prompted some rosy projections. A study by Forrester Research indicates that worldwide revenues from interactive online sales have increased from US$240 million in 1994 to US$350 million last year. By 2000, sales could reach US$6.9 billion. "Digital bucks? Stop here," PC Magazine 15 (10) May 28, 1996, 54. Electric money. [Cash, checks, and coupons are all going digital.

Well over 5,000 viruses have been unleashed since the first one in the mid-eighties and there are about four new ones each day. According to IBM, for every 1,000 computers in a large entreprise, one machine will bring in a virus every quarter. And roughly 1% of all computers in well-protected medium to large businesses in North America are infected. In 1994, virus infections cost the average corporation with 1,000 PCs nearly US$300,000 in lost productivity and costs. With growing interconnectivity and interoperability of computer networks and the coming of intelligent agents, virus will likely spread at an accelerating pace. IBM's Anti-Virus Science and Technology group, a unique centre for studying computer viruses, is doing groundbreaking work in automatic virus detection and eradication. Machine-learning techniques (for virus detection) was used to develop its AntiVirus product. The group also developed a prototype computer immune system which can detect and eradicate unknown viruses. The group plans to integrate the system with AntiVirus once the tests are over.

A survey of 2,100 organizations reveals that respondents expect their budgets to increase 6.7% annually over the next 3-5 years. The main drivers are the shift to new architectures, the explosion of the Internet and corporate intranets, and the deployment of client/server technology. Companies implementing or using client/server systems will be increasing their spending at a rate of about 8%. "Enterprise computing," Datamation 42 (9) May 1st, 1996, 66-72. Excavate your data.

The performance of an intelligent information system depends heavily upon the quality and adequacy of the information it is capable of representing about its task and its environment. Drawbacks of using classical logic as a representation formalism include the underlying assumptions that the available information is complete and static over time. Unfortunately, these assumptions are unrealistic for most domains. Addressing the problem of the incompleteness and change of knowledge would be a major step towards more powerful intelligent information systems. Approaches that have been proposed to address these problems include various forms of nonmonotonic reasoning and belief revision, but also methods that draw plausible conclusions based on probabilities and decision-theoretic considerations. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the problems outlined above to discuss results and ongong work of theoretical or practical nature. Contributions on pragmatics, implementations and applications are particularly welcome, since these aspects have been mostly neglected in the past. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: --Novel approaches related to the problems of incomplete and changing information. --Theoretical foundations, in particular the uncovering of strong interconnections among different approaches. It is particularly important to combine qualitative and quantitative methods. --Implementations, example sets, performance evaluation. --Actual and potential applications in diagnosis, decision support, software engineering, operations research, legal reasoning etc. For more information: http://www.cs.engr.uky.edu/~mirek/pricai-wsh.html \EOA * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CALL FOR PAPERS - Info and Communications Technology in Tourism * * Hannes Werthner, Univ of Vienna * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Fourth International Conference on Information and Communications Technology in Tourism - ENTER'97 Prospering in the Digital Economy January 22-24, 1997 Edinburgh, Scotland ENTER'97 is an international forum dealing with the use and development of information systems and communication technologies in the domain of tourism. Advances in the use and development of tools, agents, technologies and methodologies that have facilitated the efficient netting of information and communication systems in the tourism industry are to be presented and discussed within ENTER. Apart from scientific and technical sessions the conference offers additional tutorials, workshops and presentations for practitioners in the area of tourism. ENTER is directed towards two target groups: system developers and practitioners which are actively involved in the field of touristic information technology and methodology as well as system users interested in a further discussion of the subject. Each year the conferences is headed by a general topic which will especially be dealt with by the presentations for the practitioners. The theme for ENTER'97 is Prospering in the Digital Economy.

Enterprise modelling is widely used as a catch all title to describe the activity of modelling any pertinent aspect of an organisation's structure and operation in order to improve, and/or reposition, selected selected parts of the organisation. Typically enterprise modelling has been applied to the gathering and reasoning about various apsects of organisations, such as: processes, information flows, organisational boundaries, organisational policies, strategy and corporate vision, job design, security and ontologies. Presentations on industrial aspects and applications of enterprise modelling are particularly welcome.
