CRISP '97, Cooperative Research Information Systems in Physics
About CRISP '97
Purpose of the meeting:
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 science
is 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.
To create both technically reliable, fast
and secure, and scientifically accurate and comprehensive information
systems, input from developers, publishers and users is needed.
At the moment there are several independent projects to develop
general methods and protocols for electronic communication in
science and research: EuroPhysNet (EC application), EC funded
DESIRE, and EC funded INFO2000 Programme, to mention a few.
We strongly encourage student participation.
Central topics of CRISP '97 include:
- Content: Scientific documents, educational systems,
administrative information treatment,
dynamic automated catalogues, tools, etc.
- Electronic publishing
- Information Infrastructure in Physics (and Sciences in general),
Cooperative work and distributed systems
- Technical issues: (user friendly) interfaces,
protocols, formats, methods, standards, etc.
- Dedicated systems, expert systems, tools, etc.
Side meetings:
The side meetings are scheduled for the second day (Tuesday, Aug. 2) of
the workshop.
