Submissions covering the following six areas are welcome:
1.Co-operation Between European Universities
European Universities in the 21 Century will benefit from cooperation
across national boundaries. What are the main areas in which such
co-operation should be promoted? What examples of cooperation are there
existing? Which experiences of succesful cooperations have already been
made?
2.Supporting change in Learning and Teaching
Under the impact of international influences and new media new
approaches were made to the way in which the learning process takes
places in Universities. The web is the mediawhich is bringing about most
of these changes. This conference will consider these new approaches and
the support issues we are all face. We welcome contributions which
examine the opportunities and challenges presented by on-line learning,
web based instruction and distance learning.
3.Changes in University Organisation and Structure
The application of technology leads to significant changes in the
Universities' administrative processes. This will also have an impact on
the structure of management within the University. Security and staffing
issues are also affected. Contributions which describe how these changes
have been implemented, how they have affected University administrative
staff and their working practices are welcome. The funding of the
information technology will also be an issue of the conference.
4.New Technologies, New Capabilities and New Opportunities
Our business is changing as new technologies arrive. High performance
computing and networking including supercomputing, cluster computing,
computational grids and metacomputing, or visualization including
realtime applications like video-on-demand or virtual reality,are
examples of capabilities which become even much more important for
scientific computing at universities in the future. Which emerging
technologies and capabilities are there? How should we as promoters of
information systems in our Universities respond? How can we support the
ever-growing list of new areas of application and new technologies?
Which cooperation possibilities are there on national or European levels
aiming at latest high-end technology in a period of small budgets?
5.Libraries and Multimedia in the Digital Age
In the digital age the activities of libraries, multimedia centres and
computer centres increasingly overlap. This has not only an impact on
the work of these individual departments within the Universities, but
also leads to questions of whether some convergence of structure should
be considered. What are the main opportunities for collaboration between
these separate functions? Which examples of collaboration are already
there and from which others can benefit?
6.IT and Network Computing Security
Universities are confronted with a multitude of potential security
problems using IT in teaching and research and using networks,
originating from the inside as well as from malevolent attackers
outside.
What procedures can be established to deal with security-related
incidents? How can training and education in Network Computing Security
improve the reliability of digital services? What new concepts and
trends in Information Security will affect our universities in teaching
and research in the near future?
