Organizers: Francois Bergeron (CRM), Jonathan Borwein (PIMS, CEIC co-chair), Joe Buhler (MSRI co-chair), Bradd Hart (FI), Martin Groetschel (IMU, CEIC), Peter Michor (EMS, CEIC), Andrew Odlyzko
Description:
The workshop will take place almost exactly five years after the 1994 MSRI meeting on "The Future of Mathematical
Communication" and is intended to provide a snapshot at the start of the millennium of the present state of mathematical
communication and a provocative look at the future --- from various perspectives and engaging diverse stake-holder
groups. It is hoped that this will provide a useful precursor to world-wide mathematical activities in the World
Mathematical Year, WMY 2000, as the IMU has designated the year 2000.
The workshop will be preceded by a half-day training workshop on the use of streaming video. The workshop itself will take place Wednesday through Friday, and will followed on Saturday by a one-day symposium, aimed at broader audience, that will cover issues in scientific publishing, and on Sunday by a day of working sessions of the IMU's Committee on Electronic Information and Communication (CEIC).
