Some of the aspects which will receive special emphasis are: formation of new scientific concepts and solution of problems using existing data; needs for new, evaluated data to test new working hypotheses; critical evaluation of data; promotion of data reliability in scientific applications. Presentation will be in the form of papers and poster sessions. Scientists from many parts of the world representing different disciplines will participate in sessions specifically devoted to natural and controlled ecosystems, biological sciences, geosciences, computer storage and dissemination of data, large data banks, data in industrial applications, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and other submitted contributions.
