Emerging Computer Applications 2007 Conference

Celebrating half a century of the BCS and 40 years of the Sussex Branch

This one-day conference brings together quality speakers from a wide
variety of fields, including gaming, medicine, finance and music, to
demonstrate emerging advances in the application of computers.

The presentations will be entertaining, informative and generally
