“In Tomorrow's Office” — Networks and Microelectronics
Martin Cripps · Journal of the Operational Research Society · 1983
Advances in micro-electronics and networking will bring steadily increasing computing power into tomorrow's office. There are differing approaches to the way in which local area networks and intelligent workstations will use a balance of local and remote computers and network sophistication. Emerging standards will assist the user in choosing amongst them. Improvements in microelectronics are changing the computer itself as new architectures to exploit parallelism are designed and new programming languages to instruct them are developed.
