The impact of solid-state technology, as it emerges in the form of large-scale integration of computer functions, is dramatic. The effects are felt at all levels-by users, systems designers, and the technology houses; the ground rules of design and the economic tradeoffs have been changed, and the structure of the business is being affected. This impact and the emerging technology itself were the subject of a workshop conducted by the Computer Society's Computer Elements Committee last June in Vail, Colorado.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
