✦ Synopsis

This book gives an insight of the expected characteristics, needs and solutions that will support the design of new highly sophisticated technology to overcome the problems that will have to be faced in the design of the 1990's computers, as well as the new theoretical foundations and technologies that will lead to new computer system realization.

This book also presents the results of the two years investigations done by the Japan Information Proceedings Development Centre (JIPDEC) on the most desirable types of computer systems for applications in the 1990's, and how the development projects aimed at the realization of these systems should be carried forward.
