Description:
During the last decade electronic information and communication provided facilities of increasing
importance for the development of research and education in mathematics and the dissemination of
achievements in mathematics to applications. A growing network of different types of digital libraries and
other electronic information services became a basic infrastructure for the daily work of mathematicians
and professionals interested in mathematics. In relation to all sciences this lead to a new field of research
and development aiming to promote the theory and practice of processing, dissemination, storage, search
and analysis of various digital data. Complex information systems emerged, development and use of which
require solution of numerous scientific, technological, methodological, economic, legal and other issues.
Handling mathematics in such an environment leads to particular challenges on one side and to enhanced
facilities for the communication of research on the other side.
The objective of this satellite conference to the ICM 2002 is to provide an opportunity for experts and professionals in the field of electronic information and communication in mathematics for discussing ideas and new achievements and for make contacts for closer co-operation. The direct link of this conference to the ICM is expected to attract as many experts attending the ICM from all over the world as possible, using this unique possibility for collecting high quality presentations from professionals world-wide, giving a comprehensive survey of the state of the art, and initiating fruitful future co-operations. Mathematicians as well librarians, mathematical publishers and other providers of information in mathematics are welcome to present their achievements and ideas concerning the subject of the meeting. In view of this, papers describing the current offers, advanced directions of research and proposals for co-operations will be appreciated.

This Satellite Conference will be held on August 29-31, 2002 in Beijing, the capital of People's Republic of China, where the International Conference of Mathematicians (ICM) 2002 will be held just before that date. Participants will present the latest developments in publishing mathematical documents in the Web, and discuss the issues and challenges facing the mathematical community with the Internet as it moves into the 21st Century.
Tsinghua University will host the conference. The Department of Mathematical Sciences is responsible for the preparation and technical works for the conference.
This conference is an event following the ICM 2002.
