Description
Among the fundamental tasks facing the information technologies of the 1980s and beyond are the production of appropriate, high-quality, low-cost software, and the laying down of a world-wide digital telecommunications network. The importance of these tasks, and the progress being made in their specific aspects, are reflected in several surveys in this volume.
