DDC OPEN SYSTEMS: A Consumer's Guide to BACnet, LonWorks,& Networking Standards 
A TWO-DAY SEMINAR

LOCATION & DATES:
June 1-2, 2000 Embassy Suites Buckhead, Atlanta, GA (404) 261-7733
September 25-26, 2000 Hotel rooms at Hyatt Regency Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI Seminar held at Midwest Express Center (414) 276-1234
October 2-3, 2000 Sheraton Newton, Newton, MA, Boston Area (617) 969-3010 

ABOUT THE SEMINAR Here's the seminar that will help you sort out all of the new developments and practical issues associated with both purchase and specification of direct digital control (DDC) and open systems technologies. The program begins with a technical review of (DDC) and building automation systems, covering hardware, firmware and network systems, as well as the personal computer interface. You'll gain the practical knowledge essential to evaluate whether systems networking, communications and interface standards will actually improve your operations. You'll get the help you need to understand how protocols and network standards relate to open systems, as well as where existing products such as LonWorks and BACnet fit in. Topology, including both proprietary and standard based components-as well as gateway and router systems-are clearly explained. Issues crucial to effective specification of open systems, including connectivity of components, controls integration, and interoperability are fully examined.
