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.
