Tutorial 1: Network Integration - Why has it been so exclusive

		Richard Thompson; University of Pittsburgh, USA

This philosophical tutorial describes the history and science of Integrated Networks. After investigating the rationale for integrating our networks, we examine several failed attempts (ISDN and ATM) and try to extract some lessons that we continue to ignore. Then, after appreciating the incompleteness of the OSI model, and taking a comical look at potential analogies to integrating things other than networks, we focus on what may be the principle issue that has been overlooked - that quality and integration may be incompatible. This tutorial promises to be controversial, and lively disagreement is encouraged. Author's biography - http://www.tele.pitt.edu/people/faculty_bios.htm#Thompson
