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 1 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 II Applications and Impacts Volume edited by K. Brunnstein, Universitat Hamburg, Fachbereich Informatik, Hamburg, Germany and E. Raubold, GMD, Institut fur Tele-Kooperationstechnik, Darmstadt, Germany IFIP Transactions A: Computer Science and Technology Volume A-52 The second volume of Information Processing 94 is divided into 2 sections: Computer and Communications Applications; Social Impact of Computers and Communications. The first provides a broad-ranging consideration of applications, which have been a vital element in the computer and communications business since the very beginning. Now that technology has become so powerful and flexible, application requirements can dictate what and how a technical system should perform. Great emphasis is therefore placed on ideas for new and useful applications and their quick and efficient realisation. Accordingly, this section is subdivided into: New and Important Applications; Modem Application Design Methods. The second section considers the diverse aspects of the related implications of applications, such as changes in national and international relations and legal systems, public and economic organisations, work, practice and management, health and education.
