The Second Topical Seminar on "Global and Local Network for Research and Education" will take place at the Certosa of Pontignano near Siena, Italy, from . The conference will be transmitted live via the Web.
GENERAL INFORMATION
PROGRAM
The Seminar is the second in a series devoted to information networks in
research and education. The previous one was held in 1994
on 'The World Wide Web and beyond in Physics Research and Applications'.
Today the Internet is used more and more as a universal platform and the
number of users has dramatically increased over the last few years.
The Seminar will focus on the discussion of present and future developments
and applications of information and communication technologies for
research and education.
Research benefits from using networks of high transmission capacity for
exchanging documentation and data, for sharing computer resources, for
the remote control of experimental apparata, and for organizing meetings
and videoconferences.
Telematic applications in Education and Training offer the possibility
of improving the quality and efficiency of dedicated educational systems and
also enable the general public to access new sources of knowledge, thus
meeting the challenges of an effective distant and lifelong learning.
Special sessions will be dedicated to new information technologies for
human and historical sciences.
The Seminar will consist of review talks summarizing the progress and
perspectives in the major sectors, and shorter talks discussing specific
issues. The presentation of posters and demos is also foreseen.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance will be by invitation and limited to approximately one hundred participants. Those interested should [e-/s-]write to the Organizing Committee.
