ECMS: THE WAY FORWARD
An International Electronic Copyright Management Systems Conference. City
Conference Centre, London. 13-14 November 1997
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Conference is being organised by the COPEARMS (Co-Ordinating Project
for Electronic Authors' Rights Management Systems) Consortium. The
conference will examine different issues surrounding the adoption of ECMS
Systems. These include notions of trust and privacy, user requirements,
different methods of protection and ECMS adoption patterns. The concept
of interoperability will be a theme throughout the conference.
Discussions will examine why interoperability is desirable and trying to
determine the required level of interoperability and how this can be
achieved without compromising security.
The first day of the conference presentations from international experts
will include introductions to the main issues and a look at some of the
solutions both in and outside Europe. On the second day delegates will
get the opportunity to attend a workshop, to discuss specific subjects in
more detail.
