Register for "Mapping Knowledge Domains" -- the upcoming Sackler Colloquium

[Eugene Garfield]

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the National Academy of Sciences I am inviting you to register
for the upcoming Sackler colloquium entitled "Mapping Knowledge Domains" to
be held in Irvine, CA on May 9-11, 2003.  Colloquium speakers will present
state-of-the-art research on databases, formats, and access; data analysis
algorithms; visualization and interaction methods; and promising
applications.

Using a database of several years of publications in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, participants will illustrate and compare the
use of their techniques, algorithms, and approaches by identifying
aggregates of research areas, experts, institutions, grants, publications,
and journals, by finding the interconnections among these, by tracking the
speed and growth of scientific subfields, and by exploring social networking
that underlies scientific progress.  The registration fee includes meals,
transportation between the Beckman Center and colloquium hotel, sessions and
abstracts.

Please feel free to share this invitation with your colleagues, graduate
students and post-docs.  There is some limited financial support available
for graduate students.

More information, including the preliminary program and registration forms
are on the web at:
