Publisher's Synopsis
Research presented in this volume covers three themes: Informatics and Education, The Vulnerability of the Information Society and Informatics for Environmental Protection. The emphasis is on putting theory into practice, therefore many of the papers report on actual experiences.;Society is increasingly looking to people in the Informatics profession for assistance in solving (or at least working on) very complex and difficult problems so it is encouraging to note that two of the six streams of the conference, as well as several symposia, focus on education, social and professional issues. The papers in this volume represent insights into a number of critical issues by researchers from around the world.
