Technology and Computer Science

Authors:

Collective volume

Description:

In this volume Technology is defined as the deliberate conversion of knowledge into useful products (including the know-how that corresponds to this conversion). This conversion is achieved through a series of processes that include the design, production, quality assurance, transport of products, as well as the recycling of the raw materials and measures taken to protect the environment. The emphasis that is placed on Computer Science, as the title of the volume notes, is attributed to the explosive development observed the last fifty years in the area of production, transfer and storage of information.
