Distributed processors and processing with microcomputers

Abstract

This paper discusses the role and effects of microcomputers in the information industry. It considers some of the technological advances of recent times and how they may affect the future. The complexity of systems and systems control are discussed as are the problems of communication, both machine‐to‐machine and machine‐to‐human. It discusses the spread of microcomputers and concludes that this will have a marked effect on the information networks and systems of the future.
