Open Problems of Information Systems Research and Technology

Computer science and technology is an area of very intensive research and development. It is estimated that the half-life period of knowledge in this area is about 12 to 18 months. No other branch of science has such short half-life period. Therefore new problems have to solved. At the same time some of the old open problems must be solved. This invited talk aims at a systematic survey of open problems and proposes a number of solutions to their solution. We structure these open problems in structuring problems, into size or more generally complexity problems, functionality problems, interactivity problems, distribution problems, and general problems.
