Theme
I-9: The Emergence of Virtual Laboratories: Towards New Policies
and Strategies for Knowledge Handling – Dr. J. Rose (UNESCO)
Presentation abstracts
will appear here as soon as possible.
The role
of networking multimedia communication tools is becoming a major,
even an essential, part of distributed computing within countries,
disciplines and beyond geographical boundaries. Classification
and taxonomies of communication services must be considered in
a different light, as the concept of Virtual Laboratories will
lead to many diverse ways of linking to perform scientific activities.
The rapid internationalization of world science and technology
can facilitate the integration of numerous aspects of our civilizations.
UNESCO
and CODATA are joining forces to bring together, in this session
on "Virtual Laboratories and their Emergence", world experts to
help create harmonious collaborations based on "data sharing"
at all levels of acquisition and modeling.
