Objectives of the Summer School 
-------------------------------
The EUNICE network has been created to foster the mobility of 
students, faculty members and research scientists working in the field 
of information and communication technologies and to promote 
educational and research cooperations between its member institutions.

The 2000 EUNICE Summer School, which will be the sixth of its kind, 
focuses on Innovative Applications for the Internet. The main goal of 
the Summer School is to give Ph.D. students the oppertunity to present 
their work at an international level, and to exchange information with 
Ph.D. students from other organizations who are working on related 
topics. Next to presentations by Ph.D. students, the Summer School 
will also include a number of tutorials, presented by experts in the 
field, and demo's of courses and software developed within the 
EUNICE-Candle project.

    

Call for Contributions

In the next few years we may expect many new and innovative Internet 
applications to appear for areas such as tele-teaching, logistics, 
healthcare, E-commerce etc. Examples of new applications are video 
conferencing, video on demand, voice over IP, Internet radio, Internet 
auctions and CSCW. In this Summer School we will discuss techniques 
for, and preliminary expierences with such new applications.
