Abstract
With the rapid advances in networking technology, and the exploding demand for network access, resources, and services, Penn finds itself needing a new network architecture as it struggles to complete its present one! Through the work of a small but dedicated group, the campus is following a careful, structured methodology to develop its next-generation network. A partnership was forged between individuals responsible for major campus-wide client/server initiatives, representatives of the major schools, and the separate organizations responsible for telephony and data/video communications. To keep the campus community informed, World Wide Web is used to publish not only finished products of the project, but work-in-process as well. Paper presented at CAUSE94, the full proceedings of which are available through this Library as PUB1094.
