This book results from a German-Lithuanian co-operation project, which culminated with a specialist workshop with the same title held in Vilnius,Lithuania on 2-4 October 2000. A number of authors explore matters related to sustainability and information technologies (IT) and discuss approaches and methods aimed at using IT as a tool for sustainable development.

An interesting feature of the book is that texts in English are paralleled by texts in Lithuanian, thus being accessible to a wide range of people and institutions, especially in the Baltic region. Details on the workshop are available at: http://www.science.ktl.mii.lt/SDIS
