Re: [802SEC] ASN.1 Seminar

Roger-

I think it is superb that you have arranged for this seminar.  It is an 
important topic for those of us who have anything at all to do with the 
management aspects of our standards.

I am very disappointed that the seminar was not announced to us until 
after most folks had made travel and hotel arrangements.
I would like to attend  the full seminar but will not be arriving until 
during the day on Sunday. I will attend what I can.

The primary focus is on 802.16, but it appears that the room will be large enough to accommodate a few other people. Any other IEEE 802 participants who wish to attend should notify Bancroft, since he is tracking the anticipated attendance to match it with the space.

This tool will allow the seminar attendees to easily create ASN.1 types, check the syntax for correctness, use a graphical message editor to create and view message instances, and examine at the bit level how messages are constructed in PER. The attendees will leave the seminar knowing how to define messages in ASN.1, and will understand the effect of the various syntax choices on the size of PER-encoded messages.  They will also leave with clear knowledge of how to safely change or extend ASN.1 types, and what changes to never make because they result in backward compatibility problems.
