Many institutions of higher education are trying to integrate new information and communications technologies into current curricula or to develop new learning paradigms for learning.

This volume contains case studies, theoretical papers and project development reports on one of the greatest challenges facing the new digital enterprises: the life cycle approach to management and production. Main issues discussed in the book include CAD/CAM/CIM/CAE, intelligent manufacturing, and control and robotics applications.

This volume examines the many aspects of the integration of ICT into the school of the future. It includes perspectives from both developed and developing countries as they prepare for future educational systems of the Information Age.

The ISCO conferences were instigated by the former Task Group FRISCO (an acronym for "FRamework of Information System Concepts"), charged by the IFIP Working Group 8. Its report, entitled "A Framework of Information System Concepts" (the "FRISCO Report" for short), is available on the World Wide Web via the address: http://www.

You can also take advantage of the CNOM (Committee on Network Operation and Management) web site where a virtual discus sion agora has been set up for IM'97 (URL: http://www.cselt.stet.it/CNOMWWWIIM97.html). Hopefully, you will also be joining the virtual world on the web for discussions with authors and others who were at the Conference.
