==============================================================
- EDBT Summer School -

Information Systems during the Information Revolution:
Methods, Tools and Architectures

Capri, Italy
September 8-13 , 1997
===============================================================

Promoted and Sponsored by the EDBT Foundation
Organized by IASI-CNR
in Cooperation with the University of Toronto

The EDBT Summer School for 1997 will take place in Capri during the week
of September 8. The summer school is sponsored and promoted by the EDBT
Foundation and organised by the Institute for System Analysis and
Informatics, CNR-IASI.The school is intended for young researchers looking
for interesting research problems, professionals who want to find out the
latest trends in their field, and graduate students begining their reseach
career.
This year, the subject matter for the school addresses recent and
strategic innovations that will characterise, both methodologically and
technologically, the next generation of Information Systems. The school
programme consists of seven teaching units which are intended to offer an
overview of formal foundations, as well as significant coverage of the
state of the art. The teaching units will be given by distinguished members
of the scientific community.

The school will take place at the Hotel "La Palma" in Capri. Lectures and
other organized events are intended to allow attendees and speakers to
freely interact during the whole week.

PROGRAMME

The school programme is organised in two sections which together
consist of seven teaching units, and two additional units. Each unit
takes half a day: three hours with an intermediate half-hour break, except
on Monday, with a shorter welcome unit and a longer introductory teaching
unit. The default timetable for the week is:

> Morning session: 9,00 - 12,30
> Lunch break: 12,30 - 4,00 (free)
> Afternoon session: 4,00 - 7,30
> Course Dinner: 8,00 - 9,30

The two sections are:

"Methods and Tools" - which focuses on new approaches for building and
evolving Next-Generation Information Systems.

"Systems Technologies and Architectures" - which focuses on generic
technologies and surrounding technical issues that determine the
architectures, the operations, and the life-cycle of Next-Generation
Information Systems.

On Friday afternoon there will be a Poster Session dedicated to the
attendees wishing to present and discuss their work, both problems and
research results, with other participants. On Saturday morning there will
be a final panel to summarise what has been presented during the course and
to draw
impressions and/or conclusions on the state of the art in research and
practice.
