Résumé :
|
Electronic communication using computer networks has experienced tremendous growth during the past few years. A workshop on internet applications was held at the european forest institut in august 1995 to overview the ways in which the global forest and environment community is using computer networking to address new problems, and to widen their reach of electronic communication around the world. These proceedings comprise some of the presentations given at this workshop. One of the purposes of this workshop was to widen the reach of electronic communication throughout the forestry and environment community all arround the world. Savings in both time and money will be achieved when electronic communication is fully utilised. Especially institutions and researchers in the third world and access to libraries and journals. In order to overcome the unequal opportunity caused by poor national infrastructures in some countries, we must collaboratively search for solutions to involve everybody in the process. Indeed, in this workshop there were 32 participants from 16 countries. Ten participants were from countries where the telecommunications infrastructure currently is a seriously limiting factor. The purpose of this workshop was to make an overview of the ways that the global forest and environment community is using computer networking to address new, previously untangible problems. Because of the rapid advancement of technology,a comprehensive tutorial was providet in the workshop. We wanted to involve our colleagues from all countries, not just the technologically developed world, and enhance co-operation between people across the network by lowering the constaints imposed by space and time, and to experiment with new kinds of co-operative work processes in research and education.
