Abstract :
Gives an overview of the field of real-time data acquisition in high-energy physics experiments. It presents the problems encountered in real-time data acquisition and describes current solutions to some of them. It is intended as a tutorial introduction, having the main purpose to educate non-physicists about the challenges met by the designers of computer systems for supercolliders, the largest scientific instruments ever built by humans
