European Science Notes Information Bulletin Reports on Current European/ Middle Eastern Science

Abstract

The emergence of the personal computer, the growing use of distributed systems, and the increasing demand for supercomputers and minisupercomputers are causing a profound impact on the European computer market. Microelectronics (the microchip) is the driving force for developments in both computers and telecommunications and is the factor that has led to their merging. The European Community is concentrating on R & D in computers, telecommunications, and electronics; it is also driving forward toward standardization. Another important consideration in Europe is the speed with which Europe follows the U.S. example toward privatizing and liberalizing the public telecommunications service. Keywords: Compilations, Europe, Computer hardware, Telecommunications, Electronics, Esprit, Eureka, Race.
