The focus will lie on mobile communication used in the health system. Three working groups of experts selected from different disciplines have been set up. The first is developing a technical demonstration project, the second is caring for the assessment methodology, and the third is dealing with user demands and organizational framework. The whole project is planned to run over a period of about two years. Contact: Dr. Horst Nienstaedt Gottlieb Daimler-und Karl Benz-Stiftung, Dr.-Carl-Benz-Platz 2, 68526 Ladenburg, Germany, Tel. *49-6203-15924, Fax: *49-6203-16624 I am participant to working group 2 and consider to contribute in two ways. Firstly I plan to work out a value tree which covers all safety and security aspects and puts them in perspective. Secondly I will focus on the military and terroristic dangers of mobile communication in combination with navigating systems like the global positioning system (GPS). The broad question is what interrelations there are between civilian and military developments and applications of mobile communication. Another aspect is the feasibility to use such a system to locate a mobile user as target of an attack or to use it to direct a weapon to a fixed target. Could you provide me with any relevant information on these questions? Did you work about one of these topics or can you recommend literature or contact persons?
