Abstract
Advanced communication technologies are fundamental for an advanced information society. Today, information telecommunication systems are being networked through interconnections, and it is expected that such systems will play a leading role in the future flow of advanced information. Therefore in order to predict future technological developments, it is necessary to elucidate the themes of the development of communication technologies related both to network construction and administration, and to analyze user needs sufficiently. From this perspective, the Key Technology Center initiated its 'Research in Advanced Communications Technology' project. Designed as a 3 year project, it was launched in FY 1986. In FY 1986, we analyzed user needs in terms of the jobs to be processed by networks and the requisite job processing level, thereby elucidating the environment for the development of advanced communications technology. In FY 1987, we studied the trends of the development of advanced communications technology by systematically examining network interconnection technology, network resource management technology, network administration and management technology, etc., and identified urgent technical themes. Finally, in FY 1988, we examined the trends of advanced communications technology in terms of advanced communications networks. We also assessed the possibility of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology, explored security technology, and identified themes applicable to advanced communications networks.
