Description
This 3-volume publication explores the driving forces that will shape the computing and communications industry, applications and research over the next 5 years. It includes invited and submitted presentations from international experts on the state-of-the-art (highlighting a global orientation) and debates on 8 critical linking issues selected for highly interactive discussion, with emphasis on those areas which intersect. Volume I considers: Hardware and Software Technology; Theoretical Foundations of Computing. Volume 2 examines: Computer and Communications Applications; Social Impact of Computers and Communications. Volume 3 investigates: Computers and Communications for Developing Countries; plus the Linking Issues. As a whole, the multi-volume provides a consolidated source of information which it is hoped will stimulate continuing activity and research in the field. Volume Ill Linkage and Developing Countries Volume edited by K. Duncan, Health Information Systems, Los Altos, CA, USA and K.
Krueger, The World Bank, Washington, DC, USA IFIP Transactions A: Computer Science and Technology Volume A-53 'The third volume of Information Processing 94 is divided into 2 sections: Computer and Communications for Developing Countries; Linking Issues. The first considers the implications of computers and communications in improving the economic welfare of developing countries. Theoretical concepts and practical experience are combined in its examination of issues as diverse as human resources, trade policy and infrastructure. The second section explores critical issues at the heart of contemporary scientific, industrial and societal concerns about the future of the communications industry and its impact on the world.
