[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in future digital libraries: This sub-element includes work in both technologies and applications, … will lead to significant advances in the generation, storage and use of digital information of different kinds across high-speed networks.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993, recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in future digital libraries: This sub-element includes work in both technologies and applications, … will lead to significant advances in the generation, storage and use of digital information of different kinds across high-speed networks. A digital library is a knowledge center without walls, open 24 hours a day and accessible by way of a network. Research areas range from advanced mass storage, online capture of multimedia data, intelligent filtering, knowledge navigation, effective user interfaces, system integration, and prototype and technology demonstration.”
