International Journal Universal
Access in the Information Society
1st Issue: February 2001
Universal Access in the Information
Society (UAIS) is an international,
interdisciplinary refereed journal that
solicits original research contributions
addressing the accessibility, usability,
and, ultimately, acceptability of
Information Society Technologies by
anyone, anywhere, at anytime, and
through any media and device. The
journal publishes research work on the
design, development, evaluation, use,
and impact of Information Society
Technologies, as well as on
standardization, policy, and other nontechnological
issues that facilitate and
promote universal access. Paper
submissions, in English, should report
on theories, methods, tools, empirical
results, reviews, case studies, and best
practice examples, in any application
domain and should have a clear focus
on universal access. In addition to the
above, the journal will host special
issues, book reviews and letters to the
editor, news from Information Society
Technologies industry, and
standardization and regulatory bodies,
announcements (eg, conferences,
seminars, presentations, exhibitions,
education & curricula, awards, new
research programs) and commentaries
(eg, about new legislation).
The journal will be published by
Springer.

8th International Conference
on Database Theory
London, 4-6 January 2001
ICDT is a biennial international
conference on theoretical aspects of
databases and a forum for communicating
research advances on the principles of
database systems. Initiated in Rome, in
1986, it was merged in 1992 with the
MFDBS symposium series initiated in
Dresden in 1987. ICDT aims to attract
papers of high quality, describing original
ideas and new results on theoretical
aspects of all forms of database systems
and database technology. While special
emphasis is put on new ideas and
directions, papers on all aspects of
database theory and related areas are
presented.
ICDT 2001 will be preceeded by a new
International Workshop on Web
Dynamics which ICDT participants are
most welcome to attend.

37th Dutch Mathematical Congress
Amsterdam, 19-20 April 2001
CWI and the Vrije Universiteit in
Amsterdam will jointly organise the
37th Dutch Mathematical Congress.
This congress, under the auspices of the
Dutch Mathematical Society, is the
yearly meeting point in The
Netherlands of the Dutch
mathematicians. Invited talks will be
given on cryptography, statistics,
analysis and discrete
math/combinatorics. Minisymposia will
be organised on the same four subjects,
supplied with applied math, systems
theory, numerical analysis, computer
algebra, financial math, and
optimization of industrial processes.
Location: Vrije Universiteit in
Amsterdam.

Optimal Control and Partial
Differential Equations – Innovations
and Applications: Conference in
Honor of Professor Alain
Bensoussan’s 60th Anniversary
Paris, 4-5 December 2000
The conference will be divided into
two parts: the first day dedicated to
fundamental research animated by
international wellknown scientists will
present the state of the art in the fields
where Alain Bensoussan’s
contributions have been particularly
important: filtering and control of
stochastic systems, variational
problems, applications to economy and
finance, numerical analysis, etc. The
second day will devoted to the tight
links between research and applications
and the impact of research on the ‘real
world’ especially through valorization
of research results. This theme will be
enlighted through three round tables on
the following topics: space, spatial
applications, science and technology
for information and communication. A
fourth panel will be devoted to Europe
as a priviledged example of the
collaboration between research and
industry.
Alain Bensoussan was the first
president of ERCIM from 1989 to
1994.

VisSym ‘01 – Joint Eurographics -
IEEE TCVG Symposium
on Visualization
Ascona, Switzerland, 28-30 May
2001
Papers and case studies will form the
scientific content of the event. Both
research papers and case studies are
invited that present research results
from all areas of visualization. Case
studies report on practical applications
of visualization to data analysis.
Topics for research papers include, but
are not limited to: flow visualization,
volume rendering, surface extraction,
information visualization, internetbased
visualization, data base
visualization, human factors in
visualization, user interaction
techniques, visualization systems, large
data sets, multi-variate visualization,
multi resolution techniques.
