Information'2000 --
An International Interdisciplinary Conference by INFORMATION
Journal and Yamaguchi University
October 16-19, 2000, Fukuoka Garden Palace, Fukuoka, Japan
Conference Program
(updated)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS
The most distinctive feature in the development of
modern sciences and technologies is that various sciences, which were classified
so far according to their research objects and methodologies, penetrate and
combine with each other gradually. Therefore, many new disciplines and
technologies were born from boundary areas of those existing sciences. Today,
from classical sciences to modern technologies, almost all sciences and
technologies are depended on each other so closely that they cannot exist and
grow independently and have to grow in harmony with each other. There is an
abstract, general and cross-cutting concept that concerns all scientific
methodologies and sciences, it is "Information".
The International
Conference on Information is an interdisciplinary international conference
series which will be held every two years. It provides a forum for all
scientists and technicians throughout the world to exchange scientific
information such as original ideas, research methods and research results
related to all scientific fields.
The first conference,
Information'2000, will be held in Fukuoka Garden Palace, Fukuoka, Japan on
October 16-19, 2000. Information'2000 will include keynote addresses, invited
speeches, special workshops, contributed presentations (Lectures or Posters).
The conference proceeding will be published by International Information
Institute (ISBN 4-901329-00-6) and available to delegates at the time of
registration. And the papers presented in the conference will be selected for a
special issue in INFORMATION : an
international interdisciplinary journal (ISSN 1343-4500). More updated
information can be found at the conference offical website
http://www.sv.cc.yamaguchi-u.ac.jp/~informat/info2000.html
The
conference language will be English.
The keyword "Information" is being
permeated to all fields in sciences and technologies. This conference reflects

the keyword "Information":
(A) Mathematical and Natural Sciences
(B)
Human and Social Sciences
(C) Agriculture and Engineering
(D) Medicine and
