------------------------ TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE -----------------------
The BIWIT aim is to develop exchanges between researchers, developers,
industrialists and users working in different areas of computer science.
Each year, BIWIT workshop deals with a different theme. In 1997 the topic o=
f
the workshop is "Data Management Systems".
Three invited speakers will present their research work or the state of the
art in their speciality :
STEPHANO CERI is Professor of Database Systems at the Dipartimento di
Elettronica e Informazione, Politecnico di Milano. His research interests
are focused on extending database technology to incorporate data
distribution, deductive and active rules, and object-orientation. He has
published articles on International Journals and Conference Proceedings, is
co-author of several books and associated editor of several international
journals. He is member of ''VLDB Endowment'', ''EDBT Foundation'' and ''DOO=
D
Steering Committee'' and is currently project manager at the Politecnico di
Milano of the Esprit Project P6333, ''IDEA: Intelligent Database
Environments for Advanced Applications''.
The title of the Invited Conference presented by Professor Stefano Ceri is =
:
Designing Applications with Objects and Rules: the IDEA Methodology.
TOMAS ISAKOWITZ is Professor on the faculty of the Information Systems
Department at New York University's Stern School of Business. His research
interests are hypermedia technology and its applications, decision support
and temporal databases. Professor Isakowitz has more than 10 years of
experience working in the field of hypertext, and is a leading expert in
hypermedia design. He has published over thirty articles on hypermedia and
actively participates in the organisation of conferences and workshops. He
has published in Communications of the ACM, IEE TSE, ACM TOIS, ACM TODS,
Journal of Management Information Systems and Decision Support Systems
Journal among others. Professor Isakowitz is a frequent lecturer on

----------------------- CULTURAL INFORMATION ---------------------------
The history of the Basques and the Basque language goes back to pre-histori=
c
Europe and to primitive times.
The Basque country is essentially a linguistic and cultural community. It
has always meant keeping their eyes open on the world. Basque whalers and
sailors have a long tradition of trading and interchange with the Greeks,
the Vikings, and the great Muslim sea trading nations. Christoper Columbas'
map-maker was a Basque, as was the first navigator to sail round the world,
Juan Sebastian El Cano - the only captain to return from the Magellan
expedition."
ADMINISTRATIVE AND GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION
Situated on either side of the Pyrenees mountains (the 'backbone' of the
Basque country) and bordering the Atlantic ocean, the official Basque name
for the country is Euskal Herria.
Administratively today, it is divided between France (three provinces of
Baxe-Nafarra, Lapurdi and Xiberoa, 3000 sq. kms, 250,000 inhabitants which
form the Northen part) and Spain (four provinces of Araba, Bizkaia, Gipuzko=
a
and Nafarroa, 18000 sq. kms, and a population of 2,500,000 inhabitants,
which form the Southern part).
GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES
More than half of the Basque country is formed by mountains of between 400
and 2500 metres high, in a relatively anarchic layout. Throughout the
country there are both many forests and rich pasturelands, freshwater
springs, sharp rising peaks dominating long winding valleys, and massive
cliffs plunging down into the ocean. Equally there are gentle and more
accessible slopes ideal for good farmland. The Pyrenean peaks axis slanting
through the Basque country divides it into two main zones ; one, the
Atlantic side, has a mild ocean climate and green landscape; the other, the
meridional side, is predominantly influenced by the Mediterranean climate
and colour.
THE NORTHEN BASQUE COUNTRY
The Northern Basque country covers all the areas north of the river
Bidassoa. Here the more modern coastal zone is in sharp contrast with the
old farming traditions of the hinterland. It was Napolean III who, at the
end of the last century, began to make it a holiday seaside resort.
The main economic activity of the Northern Basque country is centred in and
around Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz (known as the BAB). It is predominantly a
services sector, with a relatively fast-growing industrial sector as well.
It is worth noting that the nucleus of international firms well-established
here (in the fields of aeronautics, smelting, electronics and
telecommunications) has caused a development spin-off of smaller and
medium-sized firms in highly specialised areas.
The BAB also has the advantage of being situated in a truly Euro-region,
with a population of nearly 5 million multi-lingual inhabitants radiating
over 200 kms on either side. It is an access to one of the most powerful an=
d
wealthy parts of the Iberian peninsula and an obligatory transit zone for
all movement of people and goods from Northern to Southern Europe.
CONFERENCE LOCATION : BIARRITZ
Biarritz, where the conference is located, was dedicated to whaling and
fishery activities until the end of the 18th century. Then, fishery econom=
y
went down and the city orientated towards health activities becoming a
health resort.
The golden Belle Epoque of princes, princesses, statesmen and intellectuals
begun when Wellington's English officers shew to their compatriots the
beauties of the city. But Biarritz really came into fashion when Napoleon
III and his court choose it as his holidays seaside resort.
Now, Biarritz is mainly dedicated to tourism.
The visitor has a variety of attractions to choose from, depending on the
season. There are the many fine sandy beaches where you can see local and
international surfers ride the rollers sweeping in from the Atlantic. There
is the magnificent forest of Chiberta behind the dunes, with a wonderful
golf course laid out among the pine trees. At any time of the year you can
enjoy a good game of golf or try your chance at the gaming tables of the
Casino. There are leisure centres of all kinds, for sport or fitness and
relaxation which complement all the various cultural activities going on
throughout the year.
WEATHER
Average temperature for Basque country in july is 25 C.
