This will be the second time an International School on Disarmament and Research on Conflicts (ISODARCO) summer course will focus on information technologies and their relation to war and international relations. The course, on "Computers, Networks and Prospects for European and World Security", will be focused on Cyberwar (CW), Netwar (NW), the current Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and related issues. Issues of major importance in such a discussion are: the relation between computers and regional defense; the threat of "cyberterrorism" as well as "cyberwar"; new forms of group organization like "networks" and how information technology supports them; the impact of information technology developments on military doctrine and organization of military forces.
