*Dear Informatics Europe Members, Dear Colleagues,
*

We are happy to announce that the program of the ECSS 2016 is now online 
and registrations are open. As in previous years the program is very 
exciting, with some of the world's most distinguished academics on the 
stage, the Summit will not be short of inspiration and stimulation.

The ECSS 2016 will be held in Budapest, Hungary, October 24-26, hosted 
by the Faculty of Informatics, Eötvös Loránd University. The central 
theme of this year conference is /*"Informatics Driving the Digital 
World"*/.

Worldwide, efforts are multiplying towards digitising all aspects of 
life and work in modern society. The world simply becomes digital. 
People communicate and connect over social digital media, economic and 
political decisions are based on analysing digital data, mobility is 
supported by digital devices, manufacturing is based on cyber-physical 
systems, health systems are using globally interconnected knowledge 
bases, etc. Informatics and Information Technology are at the core of 
all these endeavours. New insights in theory and practice of Informatics 
are fueling the innovative progress in each of these application areas. 
With progress also come heightened expectations. Stakeholders expect 
systems to become safer, more complex, more performing, more affordable, 
and more easily accessible. This opens a rare and remarkable opportunity 
for Informatics, as a basic science and as an application field, to 
leverage its in-depth knowledge to advance theory and practice, and 
policy. Although existing information technologies have tremendous 
potential to drive the digital world, significant challenges will need 
to be overcome for them to fully realize this potential.

ECSS 2016 will focus on the challenges for the Informatics discipline in 
driving the digital world. Prominent academics, industry leaders and 
decision makers will address the topic, offering food for thought in 
state of the art lectures and engaging panel discussions:

  * Erika Ábrahám, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
  * Judith Bishop, Microsoft Research, USA (tbc)
  * Jan Bosch, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden
  * Manfred Broy, TU Munich, Germany
  * Anthony Finkelstein, The Alan Turing Institute, UK
  * Roland Jakab, Ericsson, Hungary
  * Willem Jonker, EIT Digital, Belgium
  * Laura Kovács, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
  * Domenico Laforenza, ERCIM, Italy
  * László Palkovics, Ministry of Higher Education, Hungary
  *   Alexander Wolf,  University of California Santa Cruz USA
