Computer networking is a vital information and computation resource, necessitating institutional planning. Overcoming political, organizational, and economic hurdles is key to realizing its full potential in research and education.

Area of Science:

Information Science
Computer Science
Educational Technology

Background:

Computer networking is recognized as a significant mode for information and computation.
Institutions are increasingly considering networks in technology replacement decisions.
The practical viability and permanence of computer networks are now widely acknowledged.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the factors hindering the full development of computer networking in research and education.
To explore the potential of networks to address current deficiencies in computing and information services.
To emphasize the critical importance of 'how' networks are developed and applied, not just 'if'.

Main Methods:

Analysis of conclusions from EDUCOM seminars.

Related Experiment Videos

Identification of political, organizational, and economic barriers to networking adoption.

Assessment of current institutional computing and information service shortcomings.

Main Results:

Technological challenges are not the primary bottlenecks; political, organizational, and economic factors are more significant.
Existing computing services suffer from waste, duplication, and user unresponsiveness.
Networks offer a vehicle for change but do not inherently solve problems; effective implementation is crucial.

Conclusions:

Computer networks are a practical and essential resource for information and computation.
Addressing non-technological barriers is critical for successful network implementation.
Effective development and application of networks, with a focus on standards and documentation, are vital for improving research and educational computing.
