The first years of the new millennium and recent world events have cast into
bold relief the role played by information in a complex global society. We are
seeing a new awareness of the importance of the free flow of necessary and time-sensitive
information and the technologies that support it. Information organization,
access and transfer are more than ever recognized as essential elements in all
aspects of business and daily interaction. That information plays a profound
role in building and sustaining community on a local and global scale has been
vividly demonstrated by the reactions of individuals and institutions when faced
with a major disaster. The ability of our institutions to react to cataclysmic
events has been shown to be dependent on an information infrastructure that is
stable, secure and adaptable, highlighting the roles of disaster preparedness
and preservation. The information technologies which we have begun to take for
granted have, when challenged, been dynamically adapted to new situations.
The 2002 ASIST conference will provide an opportunity to explore these and other
information phenomena and their contribution to the transformation of our society.
Papers, posters and presentations are solicited in a wide variety of information
and technology related areas, including (but not limited to):
* Ethical, social, political, legal and economic issues related to the role of
information in society, such as privacy, copyright, information policy.
* People and information use cultural and behavioral issues, the digital divide,
collaboration and community, role of the WWW.
* Information production and delivery electronic publishing and dissemination.
* Information management, organization and access, including classification and
representation, metadata, taxonomies, indexing, XML, information architecture,
digital libraries.
* Information retrieval information system performance, search engines, natural
language processing, data mining, intelligent retrieval, multi- and cross-lingual
retrieval.
* Interactivity user and usability studies, design of interfaces, visualization.
* Technologies for computing and networking information communication, collaboration,
information security, e-commerce.
