* Description *

The concepts of information society, information era, infosphere and
infostress have by now been widely accepted. But what does it really mean
for the society, science, technology, education, governments, our lives? The
Information Society multiconference deals with information technologies,
which are of major importance for the development of Europe. IS 2011 will
serve as a forum for the world-wide and national community to explore
further research directions, business opportunities and governmental
policies. For these reasons we host a scientific meeting in the form of a
multiconference, which will consist of several independent conferences with
themes essential for the development of the information society. The main
objective is the exchange of ideas and developing visions for the future of
information society. IS 2011 is a high-quality multidisciplinary conference
covering major recent scientific achievements.
