Description

Martin C. Libicki. This report looks at the growing but confusing body of information technology standards by concentrating on seven areas: UNIX OS; OSI for data communication; DoD’s CALS; the Ada programming language; ISDN, narrow band & broadband; multimedia standards (text, database, & image compression), & five specialized standards (encryption, electronic chip design, machine tools, maps, TRON). Each realm is examined from several viewpoints: the problems that need to be solved, the degree of success of standards, the role of public policy in the standards process, & major trends in each area. Charts & tables.
