ESPRIT ’90 : Proceedings of the Annual ESPRIT Conference Brussels, November 12–15, 1990

The 1990 ESPRIT Conferene is being held in Brussels from the 12th November to the 15th November. Well over 1700 participants from all over Europe and overseas are expected to attend the various events. The Conference will offer the opportunity to be updated on the results ofthe ESPRITprojects and Basic Research actions andto develop international contacts with colleagues, both within a specific branch of Information Technology and across different branches. The first three days of the Conference are devoted to presentations of Esprit projects and Basic Research actions structured into plenary and parallel sessions; the scope of the Conference has been broadened this year by the inclusion of several well-known international speakers. All areas of Esprit work are covered: Microelectronics, Information Processing Systems, Office and Business Systems, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Basic Research and aspects of the Information Exchange System. During the IT Forum on Thursday November 15th, major European industrial and political decision-makers will address the audience in the morning. In the afternoon, a Round Table will discuss the impact of Information Technology on society. More than 100 projects and actions will display their major innovations and achieve­ ments at the Esprit Exhibition which will be, for the first time, open to the general public.
