This event will examine the role of research and the production of  
knowledge in the information society, with special emphasis on  
developing areas of the world. "Past, Present, and Future of Research  
in the Information Society" (PPF) is a three day conference that  
immediately precedes the second phase of the World Summit on the  
Information Society (WSIS), in Tunisia (November 2005). Core issues  
of the conference lie at the intersection of Science and Engineering,  
Information and Communication Technologies, and Development. While  
WSIS is sponsored by the UN Secretary-General, with the International  
Telecommunication Union in the lead role, this conference is a  
"satellite event" of WSIS without political affiliation.
PPF is a decentralized event, organized by an International Program  
Committee composed of one representative each from a loose coalition  
of organizations.
