In recent years, virtual teams have become a feature of most corporate workplaces, yet few academic programs prepare students to work in virtual teams, and few textbooks support the development of key skills for virtual teamwork. The primary purpose of this book is to enable higher education students to participate in virtual teams with students from other institutions, who potentially operate in different countries, time zones, and/or cultures. The book guides students through the process of working in virtual team projects for their classes, and helps them to engage with the learning experiences, and to respond to potential challenges. The book is directed towards students within any of the following disciplines: Business; Information Technology; Communication Studies; and Engineering. One section of the book also guides teachers through the process of organizing virtual team projects, and explores the teacher/teacher collaboration that is an inevitable consequence of organizing inter-institutional student virtual team projects. It provides advice for teachers on how to manage administrative challenges such as conflicting institutional schedules and grading mechanisms. In addition, it discusses research themes and data gathering and analysis techniques for teachers who wish to publish findings about the virtual team process and outcomes. As well as students and teachers, the book is also useful for researchers exploring any of the following themes: Technology use in virtual teams; Communication strategies and international communication in virtual teams; Communities of learning, e-learning, and virtual teams; Challenges of virtual teamwork; Planning a virtual team collaboration project; and Gathering and analyzing data about virtual collaboration.

The power of modern information systems and information technology (lSIIT) offers new opportunities to rethink, at the broadest levels, existing business strategies, approaches and practices. Over the past decade, IT has opened up new business opportunities, led to the development of new strategic IS and challenged all managers and users of ISIIT to devise new ways to make better use of information. Yet this era which began with much confidence and optimism is now suffering under a legacy of systems that are increasingly failing to meet business needs, and lasting fixes are proving costly and difficult to implement. General management is experiencing a crisis of confidence in their IS functions and in the chiefinformation systems officers who lead them (Earl and Feeney, 1994:11). The concern for chief executive officers is that they are confronting a situation that is seemingly out of control. They are asking, 'What is the best way to rein in these problems and effectively assess IS performance? Further, how can we be certain that IS is adequately adding value to the organisational bottom line?' On the other hand, IS executives and professionals who are responsible for creating, managing and maintaining the organisation's systems are worried about the preparedness of general managers to cope with the growth in new technologies and systems. They see IT having a polarising effect on general managers; it either bedazzles or frightens them (Davenport, 1994: 119).

IFIP/SEC2000, being part of the 16th IFIP World Computer Congress (WCC2000), is being held in Beijing, China from August 21 to 25, 2000. SEC2000 is the annual conference of TCll (Information Security) of the International Federation of Information Processing. The conference focuses on the seamless integration of information security services as an integral part of the Global Information Infrastructure in the new millenniUm. SEC2000 is sponsored by the China Computer Federation (CCF), IFIP/TCll, and Engineering Research Centre for Information Security Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ERCIST, CAS). There were 180 papers submitted for inclusion, 50 papers among them have been accepted as long papers and included in this proceeding, 81 papers have been accepted as short papers and published in another proceeding. All papers presented in this conference were reviewed blindly by a minimum of two international reviewers. The authors' affiliations of the 180 submissions and the accepted 131 papers range over 26 and 25 countries or regions, respectively. We would like to appreciate all who have submitted papers to IFIP/SEC2000, and the authors of accepted papers for their on-time preparation of camera-ready fmal versions. Without their contribution there would be no conference. We wish to express our gratitude to all program committee members and other reviewers for their hard work in reviewing the papers in a short time and for contributing to the conference in different ways. We would like to thank Rein Venter for his time and expertise in compiling the fmal version of the proceedings.
