Frontiers in computer science research
William F. Miller · 1983
Old frontiers in Computer Science continue to expand. New frontiers emerge as better theoretical understanding, dramatically improved hardware characteristics, and improved techniques for software open new vistas. Much of the excitment and drive towards new frontiers still stems from new hardware characteristics which make it possible to attack a host of new problems. Conversely, the drive to improve hardware characteristics and to utilize computer systems more effectively has presented many challenging problems for computer science and engineering.
