IV World Congress of Computer Law Alfa-Redi
"Policies and regulatory framework for everyone’s information society"
11 to 15 October 2004
Cuzco - Peru http://www.alfa-redi.org/congreso/ivmundiali.asp
Dear colleagues and friends,
Alfa-Redi, a non-governmental organization, is pleased to invite all
students and professionals interested in the development and progress of
informatics and its social and regulatory impact, to participate to the IV
World Congress on Cyber-Law. The event will be held from the 11 to the 15
October 2004 in the city of Cuzco, in Peru.
This event is the opportunity to share and exchange opinions, experiences
and to propose policies for the better use of new technologies, taking into
account the social development of each country and community.
The IV World Congress on Cyber-Law is organized as a follow-up to the
previous world congresses held in Quito (Ecuador)
(http://comunidad.vlex.com/conmundial/), Madrid (Spain)
(http://www.derechoinformatico.info) y La Habana (Cuba)
(http://www.alfa-redi.org/congreso/iiimundial.asp). These events where at
the origin of proposals that became either laws adopted in several
countries or that where welcomed as guidelines by different decision-making
public and private organs dealing with new technologies or the information
society development.
In conformity with current trends, the IV World Congress seeks the
participation of multidisciplinary teams. This is the reason why we invite
to participate every professional interested in the development and
application of new technologies, such as lawyers, sociologists,
anthropologists, engineers, and mathematicians, among others, who will
contribute with their views in order for the final product the
recommendations and proposals of the event to cover any kind of problems
in all domains.
Current subjects in the area of new technologies requiring answers and
solutions from decision-making entities will be addressed during the event.
In this line of thoughts, a first chapter on “Policies in the information
society” will take place, where e-government and de-democracy issues will
be part of the debates. Also, a chapter concerning “Intellectual property
in the digital era” aimed at discussing domain names and content
[protection issues will be held. The “Digital economy” is the title of
another chapter suggested by the organizers of the event, where matters
such as e-commerce and e-payment will be addressed. “Human rights in the
digital era” and “Society, Law, and Technology” are important chapters that
will include subjects like data protection and privacy issues, access to
the Net of priority groups, gender and new technologies, e-learning, Jobs
in the digital era, among others.
The event will combine the speeches (presentations) with working groups to
discuss cases and find solutions to these particular realities.
As you can see, the IV World Congress hopes to focalize the discussion and
to elaborate proposals in order to solve particular cases raised by the use
of new technologies and the Internet. Our wish will not become true without
your participation, therefore we hope you will be among the participants to
the event.
Cuzco (Peru) opens its arms to you. Be welcome to experience a debate of
modern matters in a place with a historical culture! We hope to see at the
Congress! Your attendance is very important to us.
