   New Office Champions Support for NII Applications

   NIST recently created the Office of Enterprise Integration to
   coordinate NIST's laboratory efforts to provide the technical
   under-pinnings for applications of information technology in areas
   such as manufacturing, construction, health care and government
   services. "We want to help NIST's customers in industry to make
   better use of the NII," says NIST Director Arati Prabhakar. To
   streamline service, the OEI provides an initial point of contact for
   policy makers and researchers in industry, academia and government
   interested in learning more about NIST activities related to
   information infrastructure development, enterprise integration and
   electronic commerce. Cita M. Furlani has been named to head the OEI,
   which is part of NIST's Computer Systems Laboratory. The new office
   also supports NIST's participation in the Clinton Administration's
   effort to develop the National Information Infrastructure. Contact
   the Office of Enterprise Integration at Rm. 102, Bldg 415, NIST,
   Gaithersburg, Md. 20899-0001, (301) 975-4529, fax: (301) 948-7242,
   e-mail: jbrooks@nist.gov (via Internet).
