INTRODUCTION
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Texas at Dallas have partnered to host a research forum on 15 – 17 December 2010. The forum will address how the current global economic crisis will impact education programs and the orientation of research in the future.
We are calling for contributions in the form of regular or position papers concerning new research problems and new training initiatives.
The forum encourages an interdisciplinary momentum, coherent with the nature of the global crisis.
