ELECTRONIC CONFERENCING ON THE INTERNET - THE FIRST ELECTRONIC COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY CONFERENCE

摘要

The First Electronic Computational Chemistry Conference (ECCC) was held in November 1994 entirely on the Internet. This paper discusses the design, preparation, organization, and outcome of this conference. The principal aim of the conference was to explore the use of this new medium for holding conferences. The success of the ECCC points toward further implementation of electronic conferences as a means for chemists to exchange ideas. [References: 13]
