The network is structured into three distinct but interrelated frameworks:
Research coordination is supported by the activities of Research Area Coordinators for each of the Areas mentioned on our server. These include the organisation of technical meetings and workshops, support for related events and conferences, and information collection and dissemination. The number of Research Areas has recently been increased, to give the network a broader scope and to promote newly-emerging areas with high potential for industrial exploitation. Some of the new Areas are to be jointly coordinated with other Networks of Excellence.
Within the framework of Industrial Action a programme of activities is carried out jointly with industrial nodes, software developers and vendors, and includes conferences, workshops and special industrial seminars. Industrial Task Forces and Special Industrial Interest Groups help to identify industrial needs and to focus reactive research and technological development.
Education and Training coordinates and promotes the training and mobility of researchers within the network using schemes such as HCM and TMR. It is planned to set-up distributed Masters and PhD programmes in Computational Logic, which will make use of both advanced distance-teaching methods and equipment as well as student visits to network nodes. A section of the annual European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information is co-organised and supported by the network, to provide further opportunities for acquiring skills and training.
Infrastructure and Information provides the essential communication frameworks for rapid information dissemination and exchange, efficient coordination, as well as environments to sustain remote computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) between nodes of the network. Major nodes will be equipped with advanced CSCW workstations to enable video conferencing, advanced communication, cooperative work and information exchange.
