AIS Newsletter issues

(no longer published)

The AIS Newsletter is a periodical reminder of what has happened and what is going to happen in our work which sooner or later will have implication on your professional life as well.

We are trying to send you a whole series of keys which allow you to jump into our Web site whenever you spot something which interests you for your own needs.

We are publishing the newsletter in English only, at least for the time being. The intended frequency of the newsletter is
2 issues a year.

We value your feedback and would like to know what you think about this initiative and the newsletter in particular. We will reply to all feedback received either personally or via the next issue for the most general questions. Please send us your comments to: AIS Webmaster

Presented on this page are the previous and most recent issues of our AIS Newsletter.

Happy reading!

AIS Webmaster
