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 and the second conference Information'2002 has been held grandly in Fukuoka and Beijing separately. The third conference, Information'2004, will be held in Boissonado Tower, Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan on November 26-29, 2004. Information'2004 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) and available to delegates at the time of registration. And the papers presented in the conference will be selected as regular papers for publication in INFORMATION : an international journal (ISSN 1343-4500) published by International Information Institute and Asian Information-Science-Life (ISSN 1541-8219) published by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. More updated information can be found at the conference offical website

The conference language will be English.

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
