Facets and Challenges of the Information Technology Evolution

Our ultimate aim as astronomers or space scientists is to contribute to a better understanding of the universe and consequently to a better comprehension of the place and role of man in it. To this purpose, together with theoretical studies, we carry out observations to obtain data that will undergo treatments and studies leading to the publication of results1. The whole procedure can include several internal iterations or interactions between the various steps as well as with external fields (instrumental technology, etc.), scientific disciplines and information handling methodologies. The trend is also clearly towards panchromatic astronomy as opposed to ‘photonic provincialism’ (Wells, 1992).
