It is concerned with all aspects of society making increasing use of information and communication technologies, with special emphasis on the roles of knowledge and information. There will be sessions on the following topics: - e-Commerce - New Media and Culture - Electronic Governance - e-Health Services - "e-work or social contract?" - Opportunities for sustainable models of work - The vulnerability" of the e-society, data protection and IT Security - New Approaches of Technology Assessment and Forecasting The deadline for submission of short abstracts outlining the foreseen content of a presentation is June 11.
