THE COOPERATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS PARADIGM

The paradigm for cooperative information systems (CISs) involves large numbers of information systems (ISs) distributed over large, complex computer/communication networks (e.g., Intranets, the Internet, the World Wide Web). Such ISs will manage or have access to large amounts of information and computing services and will need to cooperate with each other. They will support both individual and collaborative human work.

THE CONFERENCE

The Third IFCIS International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS'98) is the premier event in Cooperative Information Systems. It is sponsored by the International Foundation on Cooperative Information Systems (IFCIS), and replaces the erstwhile international workshops on Interoperability in Multidatabase Systems (IMS) and the conference series on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS & ICICIS).

Cooperative Information Systems - the area and the conference - brings together scientists and ideas from artificial intelligence, computer-supported cooperative work, database systems, distributed computing, and user interfaces.

The General Chairs, James Geller and Frederick H. Lochovsky, cordially invite you to participate in CoopIS'98, which is being held in New York City in cooperation with VLDB'98. A discount is being offered to those who register for both conferences.
