In August 1978, one hundred or so scholars from several countries
around the world met in Crete, Greece to discuss the progress made
in designing information systems and the relation of information
science to this activity. This was the Third Advanced Study
Institute supported by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
Brussels, Belgium. The first Institute was conducted in 1972 and
held in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. The results of this Institute
were published by Marcel Dekker and titled Information Sc. ience:
Search for Identity. The'second Institute was held at the College
of Librarianship, Aberystwyth, Wales in the summer of 1974. The
proceedings were published by Noordhoff International Publishing,
Leyden, The Netherlands, entitled Perspectives of Information
Science edited by A. Debons and Hilliam Cameron. The three
institutes that were conducted shared a common purpose, namely, to
assess the state of affairs of information science and to share
this assessment with inter national community. Information science
can be said to have emerged during the past two, three decades in
response to the significant increase in data-knowledge processing
technology, the growth of knowledge as the result of these trends
and the increase in problem solving, decision making complexity
that faced all institutions at all levels throughout the world.
Information systems, for many reasons, remain as an abstraction.
Nevertheless, considerable funds and human efforts are being
expended on them. Thus, such systems are of vital concerns to both
scientists and technologists who are involved in them."
