JANUARY:
Thursday, January 19, time 7:00PM (social), 7:30pm (presentation)
Topic: Network Appliance's NFS server
Speaker: Dave Hurley, Network Appliance Senior Systems
Engineer, formerly with AUSPEX
Location: CAIP Auditorium, Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ
Dave's technical presentation will cover the bottlenecks inherent in
NFS and methods for overcoming them. He will also review reliable file
systems and storage techniques in an NFS environment. This will
include information on FAServer and its ways of addressing user
requirements for faster and more reliable NFS servers.
The "FAServer" has a lot of interesting and innovative features. This
talk should be of interest to anyone that manages large NFS file
servers.

**ELECTIONS***
Speaker: Nathaniel Borenstein, <nsb@nsb.fv.com>,
Chief Scietist, First Virtual Holdings
Topic: Open Protocols for Information Commerce
Location: TBD
Traditional one-way payment mechanisms, such as cash, credit cards, and
digital cash, presuppose the necessity of payment validation in advance
of the completion of a transaction. In contrast, a "closed loop"
protocol that verifies both payment information and customer
satisfaction permits a far simpler payment engine in an open Internet
environment, and is well-suited to a broad sub-class of Internet
commerce applications. In this talk, I will present the underlying
philosophy, design rationale, and specification overview for a
recently-developed set of open protocols for information commerce.
