Aims and mission of the conference:
During the last decade electronic information and communication provided facilities of increasing importance
for the development of
research and education in mathematics and the dissemination of
achievements in mathematics to applications. A growing network of
different types of digital libraries and other electronic information
services became a basic infrastructure for the daily work of
mathematicians and professionals interested in mathematics. In
relation to all sciences this lead to a new field of research and
development aiming to promote the theory and practice of processing,
dissemination, storage, search and analysis of various digital data.
Complex information systems emerged, development and use of which
require solution of numerous scientific, technological, methodological,
economic, legal and other issues. Handling mathematics in such an
environment leads to particular challenges on one side and to enhanced
facilities for the communication of research on the other side.
The objective of this satellite conference to the ICM 2002 is to
provide an opportunity for experts and professionals in the field of
electronic information and communication in mathematics for discussing
ideas and new achievements and for make contacts for closer
co-operation. The direct link of this conference to the ICM is expected
to attract as many experts attending the ICM from all over the world as
possible, using this unique possibility for collecting high quality
presentations from professionals world-wide, giving a comprehensive
survey of the state of the art, and initiating fruitful future
co-operations. Mathematicians as well librarians, mathematical
publishers and other providers of information in mathematics are
welcome to present their achievements and ideas concerning the subject
of the meeting. In view of this,papers describing the current offers,
advanced directions of research and proposals for co-operations will be
appreciated.

| Topics:
|
The conference topics include but are not limited to:
- Models and standards for information and meta-information representation.
- Methods and tools for data search, discovery, retrieval and analysis.
- Access to distributed and heterogeneous digital collections:
interoperability, scalability, relevant information discovery,
meta-information integration.
- Intelligent user interfaces in electronic libraries, agent technologies, co-operative work on the data.
- Advanced technologies of digital collection generation in mathematics.
- Authoring tools and preparation of electronic publications in mathematics.
- Business models for the generation and distribution of digital
collections.
- Data security and information protection.

|
During the ICM there will be a small session on electronic information
and communication in mathematics, organised by the IMU-Committee for
Electronic Information and Communication (CEIC). This will be
coordinated with the conference in a way offering both events as a joint enterprise, though being organised separately.
