Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Technology

Background:

  • The approaching year 2000 presented a significant challenge for computer systems.
  • Many systems incorrectly interpreted the year 2000 as 1900, leading to potential failures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the impending "Year 2000 problem" or "Millennium Bug".
  • To evaluate strategies for mitigating date-related system failures.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of date-sensitive software and hardware.
  • Assessment of code remediation versus system replacement.

Main Results:

  • Date-sensitive materials risked causing system malfunctions.
  • The need for either rewriting existing code or implementing new applications became apparent.
