During the life of a dam, changes in safety standards, legislation
and land use will inevitably occur, and functional deterioration
may also appear. To meet these challenges, these Proceedings from a
panel of international experts assess, define and re-evaluate the
design criteria for the construction of dams and the many attendant
issues in on-going maintenance and management. Authors include
international specialists: academics, professionals and those in
local government, utilities and suppliers. Practitioners from these
same fields will find the book a useful tool in acquiring a
comprehensive knowledge of managing and retrofitting dams, so that
they can continue to meet society's needs.
Over the past few years, the Institute for Prospective
Technological Studies (IPTS) has been carrying out research in the
field of ageing, with a focus on the role that Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) can play to promote Active Ageing.
IPTS has looked at the issue from several perspectives, including
the socio-economic and technological dimensions of both the ageing
phenomenon and the Active Ageing policies that the EU is now
adopting. "Information and Communication Technologies for Active
Ageing" attempts to reflect aspects of the contribution ICT can
make to quality of life for older citizens in Europe. Benefits can
be found in health, employment, housing and elsewhere. The
potential market for innovative solutions in ICT for Active Ageing
is crucial for the European economy and for the society at large.
The European Union has the opportunity to become a research and
market leader through innovative applications and services for
ageing. Moreover, the promotion of societal values in Europe
regarding ageing can serve as a model for other ageing societies.
This book is to be expected to contribute to the debates on ICT for
Active Ageing and provide important hints for research in the field
fostered by the European Commission's Directorate General for
Information and Media.
