TUTORIAL: INTERNET
According to the latest survey results by Network Wizards of July 1995,
there are now approximately 6,642,000 computers connected to Internet,
the global computer network. This means that the number of hosts
increased with 1,790,000 since the previous survey in January 1995. The
rapid growth of Internet as a new means of telecommunication has far
reaching consequences on many important legal issues. The JURIX
Conference organises a tutorial about this subject, comprising: a
general introduction to Internet, and a presentation and discussion of
the legal aspects of this rapidly evolving means of telecommunication.
Although the general introduction aims at informing those who are not
yet familiar with Internet, it will undoubtedly contain new information
for those who regularly "surf The Net". On-line demonstrations of the
Internet's possibilities accompany the introduction and there will be
ample opportunity to ask questions.
The tutorial also focuses on legal aspects of telecommunication using
real life examples readily available on the Internet. Examples are
given and legal implications are discussed. For example: (nearly)
unbreakable encryption; liability for the information provided; data
exchange between governmental agencies across borders; the discrepancy
between what is legally desirable and technically possible; on-line
registration and licence checking; monopolies on information sources;
electronic banking; electronic payments; smart paymentcards, etc. The
actual examples are based on current issues of discussion on Internet
and can be subject to change.
Instructors:
Professor J.M. Smits, University of Technology, Eindhoven
Professor J.M.A. Berkvens, Rabobank Nederland, University of Nijmegen,
Nijmegen
Dr. L.A. Plugge, University of Limburg, Maastricht
Extended information on the tutorial can be found on the WWW pages
of JURIX '95. Registrations for the tutorial should be received before
November 1, 1995. There is a minimum of 10 participants.
