Netties 2005

Netties 2005 Invitation 12 - 15 October 2005 Government Quarter St. Pölten Austria Seite 1 von 22 Seiten Scope of the Conference The 10th International Netties Conference will be held at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences, Austria, from 13th – 15th October, 2005. The conference will comprise a mix of research sessions, panel discussions and lectures, bringing together academics and researchers interested in the technologies of the future. NETTIES 2005 is planned as a three-day event on various theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of the organisation and application of telecommunications and telematics. In keeping with the three main subject areas of St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences – Social Sciences, Economics and Technology – Netties 2005 will focus on interactive media applications. The modern interactive media open up a large number of possibilities. To apply these media successfully, however, one must consider the needs of the potential users, the technical potential and the economic benefit alike. The conference thus addresses the question of e-inclusion and interprets it in a wider sense as including strategies for the dismantling of technological and economic barriers.

From the foyer 280 steps lead up to the viewing platform which is at an altitude of 46.88 metres. The Sound Tower is conceived as a landmark for acoustic art in Austria and wants to convey acoustic art as a complex experience of the senses.
