The First International Workshop on
=====================================================
Cooperative Research Information Systems in Physics:
CRISP97
=====================================================
Aug. 31 - Sept. 4, 1997, Oldenburg, Germany
Sponsored and supported by:
- The European Physical Society (EPS)
- Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG)
- Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Wissenschaft,
Forschung und Technologie (BMBF)
Scope of the workshop:
----------------------
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together physicists,
computer scientists, and other experts to discuss issues
related to cooperative scientific information systems.
Internet and electronic communication methods have greatly
affected the way scienceis published and distributed, and
the importance of these issues will increase in the future.
It is therefore very important for the scientists, publishers,
and computer experts to meet and map their needs and discuss
the directions for the future development of electronic
communication in sciences.
Central Topics of CRISP '97 Include:
-------------------------------------
- Content: Scientific documents, educational systems,
administrative information treatment, etc.
- Electronic publishing
- Information Infrastructure in Physics (and sciences
in general), cooperative work and distributed systems
- Technical issues: user friendly interfaces, metdata,
protocols, formats, methods, standards, etc.
- Dedicated systems, expert systems, tools, etc.
