Abstract :
This book is vol. 13 in a series of 16 state-of-the-art reports put out by Infotech. The book, as in the other Infotech reports that have been reviewed [1]-[3], appears to be more like the proceedings of a conference. The report is definitely not meant to be an introduction to minicomputers. Consequently, the novice student or unfamiliar engineer would be better off using the publication as a reference after he has become conversant in the field.
