Electronic Information and Communication in Mathematics

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the ICM 2002 International Satellite Conference on Electronic Information and Communication in Mathematics, held in Beijing, China, in August 2002. The 18 revised and reviewed papers assess the state of the art of the production and dissemination of electronic information in mathematics. Among the topics addressed are models and standards for information and metainformation representation; data search, discovery, retrieval, and analysis; access to distributed and heterogeneous digital collections; intelligent user interfaces to digital libraries; information agents, and cooperative work on mathematical data; digital collection generation; business models; and data security and protection.
