ECSS 2015 - Program and Registration
PROGRAM
We are happy to announce that the program of the ECSS 2015 is now online. As in previous years the program is very exciting, with some of the world's most distinguished academics on the stage the Summit will not be short of inspiration and stimulation.
The ECSS 2015 will be held in Vienna, Austria, October 12-14, hosted by the Faculty of Informatics, Vienna University of Technology. The central theme of this year conference is "Informatics in the Future - in the Year 2025". Informatics as the science behind IT has two faces: Informatics ´in itself´ and Informatics ´for others´ as a tool or methodological approach in other sciences and application fields. It is interdisciplinary quasi by nature. How will all these aspects and interconnections evolve? How will computing scientists need to evolve? How will our institutes and departments cater for that evolution? These and other critical aspects related to Informatics in the future will take centre stage at the ECSS 2015 with inspiring speakers propelling us into the future.
