     Baltimore County (UMBC) in collaboration with the University of
     Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) and in

     Society - Gigabit Networking Technical Committee will hold the 5th
     Maryland Workshop on Very High Speed Networks on March 14-16, 1994 at
     the UMBC campus.  The Workshop will be held in Lecture Hall 5 of the
     new Engineering and Computer Science(ECS) Building on the UMBC Campus.

     The goal of the Workshop is to bring together experts in related
     areas to discuss progress and research issues in the design and
     implementation of very high speed communication networks. Each of
     the previous workshops attracted approximately 170 researchers
     representing academia, industry and government. The three day
     meeting will include invited speakers and contributed presentations.
     Papers on selected presentations will appear in a special issue of
     the Journal of High Speed Networks.

     A registration fee of $255.00 will include three lunches and conference
     proceeding. For questions regarding the technical content of the workshop
