BACKGROUND & 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.

INFORMATION2002 will be held in Beijing, China from July 24 - 27, 2002, and include keynote addresses, invited speeches, special workshops, contributed presentations. The conference proceeding will be published by International Information Institute and available to delegates at the time of registration. Excellent papers presented in the conference will be selected for a special issue in INFORMATION: An International Interdisciplinary Journal. More updated information can be found at the conference official website.

The keyword "Information" is being permeated to all fields in sciences and technologies. This conference reflects this change by choosing a broad scope with covering the following areas around the keyword "Information":
(A) Mathematical and Natural Sciences
(B) Human and Social Sciences
(C) Agriculture and Engineering
(D) Medicine and Life Sciences
