J.-E. Dubois and N. Gershon This book was inspired by the Symposium
on "Communications and Computer Aided Systems" held at the 14th
International CODATA Conference in September 1994 in Chambery,
France. It was conceived and influenced by the discussions at the
symposium and most of the contributions were written following the
Conference. This is the first comprehensive book, published in one
volume, of issues concerning the challenges and the vital impact of
the information revolution (including the Internet and the World
Wide Web) on science and technology. Topics concerning the impact
of the information revolution on science and technology include: *
Dramatic improvement in sharing of data and information among
scientists and engineers around the world * Collaborations (on-line
and off-line) of scientists and engineers separated by distance . *
Availability of visual tools and methods to view, understand,
search, and share information contained in data * Improvements in
data and information browsing, search and access and * New ways of
publishing scientific and technological data and information. These
changes have dramatically modified the way research and development
in science and technology are being carried out. However, to
facilitate this information flow nationally and internationally,
the science and technology communities need to develop and put in
place new standards and policies and resolve some legal issues.
