Crossing the Border:  Encounters between Cultures and Disciplines

Throughout centuries cross-cultural encounters between civilizations enriched the culture of nations by adding new elements in the sphere of the economy, religion, politics, culture, languages, science and technology.

The historical encounter between Europeans and Asians; linguistic influences between cultures, the interaction between religions, the personal grown of individuals in a cross-cultural setting, information technology crossing the border between fields such as, mathematics, logic, linguistics, psychology, computer technology, operations research, the graphic arts, communications, library science, management.
