This second aim of efficient dissemination of knowledge is organised in the following way. Each participant will be responsible for the dissemination of the knowledge among the SAC research groups in their region or country, but also in the field of their particular strength. Exchange of information will take place through the electronic network and a distributed database, workshops, conferences organised by the participants, meetings or visits on an individual basis, bulletin boards and the newsletter, under the responsibility of an editorial committee. The distributed database will be accessible by third parties. It will be modelled on two very successful existing systems.
Information servers build and maintain a database.
Clients can look for any piece of information or file in any of the databases that a server provides. One of the essential features of this proposal is the preeminent usage of electronic networks. It will not only be used for electronic mail, but it is also possible to share documents and computations if there are computing facilities that are accessible to all parties. Part of this proposal is to develop the facilities necessary for such tele-research . For the management of the network a scientific committee and a network coordinator are responsible.
