FINAL CALL FOR PAPER - IDIMT-2001 =================================

The Prague University of Economics (Czech Republic) and The University of Linz (Austria) have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the

9th Interdisciplinary Information Management Talks (IDIMT-2001) in Zadov (Bohemien Forest) - Czech Republic September 19th - 21st, 2001

http://www.sea.uni-linz.ac.at/conferences/idimt2001/idimt2001.html

The aim of these annual talks is to provide an interdisciplinary and informal forum for an interchange of holistic concepts and ideas on Information Management, Information Engineering, Business Processes, System Theory and Design, and related topics. The increasing interest in information as a vital resource makes it necessary to consider both technology transfer and opportunities for establishing technical and commercial co-operation internationally. The co-operation of technical and economic research institutes and of researchers with different economic and historical backgrounds provides an interesting basis for interdisciplinarity.

Due to the nowadays increasing pervasiveness and ubiquitousness of computers the focus of this year's conference will be dedicated to the challenges, advantages and problems brought about by modern ICT's and the new opportuni-ties offered by them.
