Information Systems and Databases as Alternatives

The influence of information technology on the development of computerised information systems which can contribute to reduction and replacement of animal experimentation is considered. Particular emphasis is placed on access to information from computer databases as an alternative in itself. The role of databases in support of modelling (molecular and statistical), simulation and risk assessment is also described.
