<p>Submission of Papers
<br>Submissions covering the following six areas are welcome:
<p>1. Co-operation Between European Universities
<br>European Universities in the 21 Century will benefit from cooperation
<br>across national boundaries. What are the main areas in which such
<br>co-operation should be promoted? What examples of cooperation are there
<br>existing? Which experiences of succesful cooperations have already
been
<br>made?
<p>2. Supporting change in Learning and Teaching
<br>Under the impact of international influences and new media new
<br>approaches were made to the way in which the learning process takes
<br>places in Universities. The web is the mediawhich is bringing about
most
<br>of these changes. This conference will consider these new approaches
and
<br>the support issues we are all face.
<br>We welcome contributions which examine the opportunities and challenges
<br>presented by on-line learning, web based instruction and distance
<br>learning.
<p>3. Changes in University Organisation and Structure
<br>The application of technology leads to significant changes in the
<br>Universities' administrative processes. This will also have an impact
on
<br>the structure of management within the University. Security and staffing
<br>issues are also affected.
<br>Contributions which describe how these changes have been implemented,
<br>how they have affected University administrative staff and their working
<br>practices are welcome.
<br>The funding of the information technology will also be an issue of
the
<br>conference.
<p>4. New Technologies, New Capabilities and New Opportunities
<br>Our business is changing as new technologies arrive. High performance
<br>computing and networking including supercomputing, cluster computing,
<br>computational grids and metacomputing, or visualization including
<br>realtime applications like video-on-demand or virtual reality, are
<br>examples of capabilities which become even much more important for
<br>scientific computing at universities in the future.
<br>Which emerging technologies and capabilities&nbsp; are there? How should
we
<br>as promoters of information systems in our Universities respond? How
can
<br>we support the ever-growing list of new areas of application and new
<br>technologies?
<br>Which cooperation possibilities are there on national or European levels
<br>aiming at latest high-end technology in a period of small budgets?
<p>5. Libraries and Multimedia in the Digital Age
<br>In the digital age the activities of libraries, multimedia centres
and
<br>computer centres increasingly overlap. This has not only an impact
on
<br>the work of these individual departments within the Universities, but
<br>also leads to questions of whether some convergence of structure should
<br>be considered. What are the main opportunities for collaboration between
<br>these separate functions? Which examples of collaboration are already
<br>there and from which others can benefit?
<p>6. IT and Network Computing Security
<br>Universities are confronted with a multitude of potential security
<br>problems using IT in teaching and research and using networks,
<br>originating from the inside as well as from malevolent attackers
<br>outside.
<br>What procedures can be established to deal with security-related
<br>incidents?
<br>How can training and education in Network Computing Security improve
the
<br>reliability of digital services?
<br>What new concepts and trends in Information Security will affect our
<br>universities in teaching and research in the near future?
<br>&nbsp;
<p>Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts containing results related
to
<br>the above mentioned subjects to the Chairman of the Programme Committee.
<p>Abstracts must be submitted in electronic form to the email address
<br>below; they can be in any of the following formats: plain text, HTML,
<br>Word97 (or earlier) or LaTeX as attachments.
<br>Abstracts should contain at least 100 words and no more than 300 words.
<br>Abstracts must be submitted in English or French, the latter with an
<br>English translation.
