Distinguished experts panel: Integrated management in a virtual world

Abstract

The panel discussion addresses IM '97's theme, "Integrated Management in a Virtual World," reflecting our increasing interest in overall management solutions applied across all types of networks, enterprise connection systems, distributed computing systems and applications. It continues to move our attention beyond the purely technical to focus on real and virtual, comprehensive management solutions in a world increasingly filled with virtual corporations, virtual LANs, inter-enterprise networking, real and virtual service management, outsourcing, and electronic commerce.
