This is due, at least in part, to political, economic and social developments on the world scene which are reflected in a changing environment for scientific research and technological development. Indeed, the manner in which research and development (R&D) are carried out in future years will be strongly influenced by the so-called electronic revolution, the era of enhanced electronic communication. The arrival of the Internet is having a profound influence on communications among scientists and engineers on the one hand, and between the researchers and the general public on the other hand.", }
