>  Abstract:
> >     Next generation information systems will blend leading-edge
> >     technologies from networking, storage systems, and computing.
> >     They will seamlessly combine communications, software, and
> >     contents.  They will incorporate the best features of today's
> >     voice and data networks.  They will support fully distributed
> >     secure 7x24 storage systems that utilize IP-based network
> >     technology and provide Quality-of-Service access to multimedia
> >     data.  They will provide users with support for content-based
> >     retrieval, queries with approximate answers, data mining
> >     capabilities, security, privacy, and full data interoperability.
> >     This talk will present a grand tour of a wide variety of next
> >     generation information systems, highlight their characteristics,
> >     and introduce a number of new research projects that address these
> >     challenges.
