The Computerworld Smithsonian Awards 1 Nm Fk I The Computerworld Smithsonian Awards 1 nm fk i sifigy nmm mm % 1 c, r fl ft 5 tffWS111 ■ 1 The Computerworld SmithsonianAwards arepresented on an annual basis to recognize andpromote the outstanding achievements ofindividuals who use information technologyfor the benefit of mankind. In order to unlock the truly evolutionary power of information technology, it must be linked closely to human values which drivepositive change: Cooperation. Leadership. Dedication. Responsibility. Vision. In making heroes of those who guide the use of information technology with these values in mind, standards will be setfor succeeding generations as we enter the 21st century. Remarkable achievements will be attained if information technology is applied to seemingly insurmountable problems. It is the goal of thisprogram to encourage individuals in their struggle to solve such problems, and to recognize thempubliclywhen they succeed. The Computerworld Smithsonian Awards were established in 1989 to demystify information technology for the general public. Award winners become part of the ongoing Information Age exhibit at the Smithsonian Institutions National Museum of American History. As part of the Smithsonian's collection, the winners' names and applications will become a permanent part of the history of information technology in the United States of America. The Awards are presented in June of each year. Major partners of the Computerworld Smithsonian Awards include a select group of sponsoring com- panies, the Chairmen's Committee, Computerworld and the SmithsonianInstitution's National Museum of American History. The Computerworld Smithsonian Awards will be presented in thefollowing ten categories: Business, Education, Environment, Finance, Government, Manufacturing, Media, Medicine, Science and Transportation. Nominationsfor the Computerworld Smithsonian Awards clearly demonstrate the positive impact of information technology.

Corporation Center, The Computerworld Smithsonian Awards The Computerworld Smithsonian Award Program was founded in 1989 to honor men and women who have achieved outstanding progress for society through the visionary use of information technology. By recognizing these individuals we seek to demystify public perceptions of computer technology and to clearly identify the benefits this technology brings to the lives of the general public. The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History joined with Computerworld, the leading newsweekly in the information industry, and our Chairmen's Committee to seek out these individuals. The Chairmen's Committee is comprised of 72 ofthe leading chairmen in the information technology industry. These chairmen and their companies serve as the select nominating group for the Awards. The Computerworld Smithsonian Awards is a nonprofit program. The Smithsonian Institution will be the recipient of an annual endowment generated from the Awards. All winners will be displayed in the Information Age Exhibit at the museum. In addition, all nominations will become part of an on-going national historical database of applications of information technology which will track, over time, the ways in which technology contributes to positive change in our world. 11A MountAuburn Street Cambridge, MA 02138 USA Tel: 617-349-3704 Fax: 617-349-3599 IT~ Smithsonia„ lns„tutiontHNEWS Media only: Susan Foster (202) 357-3129 Sept. 27, 1990 Smithsonian Institution Joan Geoghegan (617) 661-6330 Cudaback Strategic Communications SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION ESTABLISHES NATIONAL DATA BASE FROM COMPUTERWORLD SMITHSONIAN AWARD NOMINATIONS The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has announced the creation of a national historical data base drawn from the nominations for the annual Computerworld Smithsonian Awards David Allison, curator in the museum's Division of Computers, Information and Society, said the data are historically valuable because the awards process is a careful annual review of information technology and its changing impact on society In the past two years of the awards program, more than 400 nominations describing new applications of information technology have been submitted for consideration.

  • Trade Mark Opposition Decision (O/396/02)
    TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER of application No. 2165852 by Yorkshire Co-operatives Limited and IN THE MATTER of opposition thereto under No. 50738 by Sun Microsystems Incorporated. Background 1. On 6th May 1998 Yorkshire Co-operatives Limited (YCL) applied under the Trade Marks Act 1994 to register the mark SUNWIN for the goods and services specified in ANNEX A. 2. The application was accepted and published. On 21st February 2000 Sun Microsystems Incorporated (‘the opponents’) filed notice of opposition to the application. They are the proprietors of a large quantity of marks, registered in the UK and the under the Community system, a number of which are on display in ANNEX B to this decision. They state that these marks constitute a ‘family’ of marks, and have traded under the SUN and SUN prefixed trade marks since 1983, producing a wide range of ‘..computer hardware, software and other microelectronic goods and services..’ becoming, as a result, a market leader in computer workstations, servers and operating systems. 3. The opponents’ first grounds of opposition to registration is under s. 5(2)(b) of the Act, and relates (in particular, but not exclusively) to the following goods and services which are considered to be similar: Class 9: Computers; computer hardware, software and firmware; scientific apparatus and instruments; apparatus and instruments all for the recordal, storage, transmission and reproduction of audio, visual and audio visual data. Class 38: Installation and repair services relating to electrical apparatus and instruments, data processing apparatus and computers. Class 38: Telecommunications. 4. The opponents also consider that, as their earlier trade marks have a reputation in the United Kingdom, use of the applicants’ mark would be contrary to Section 5(3) of the Act, for goods and services which are not considered similar under Section 5(2).

    The History of Computing in the History of Technology Michael S. Mahoney Program in History of Science Princeton University, Princeton, NJ (Annals of the History of Computing 10(1988), 113-125) After surveying the current state of the literature in the history of computing, this paper discusses some of the major issues addressed by recent work in the history of technology. It suggests aspects of the development of computing which are pertinent to those issues and hence for which that recent work could provide models of historical analysis. As a new scientific technology with unique features, computing in turn can provide new perspectives on the history of technology. Introduction record-keeping by a new industry of data processing.

    BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Chairman, Joint Economic Committee, United States Congress Industrial Policy: Case Studiesjn The I Japanese Experience i’ ’ Within a larger framework of monetary and fiscal policies, Japan has adopted a number of industry-specific policies to achieve its economic goals. GAO reviewed Japan’s industrial policies during the post-war period in the computer, aircraft, robotics, textile, and shipbuilding industries. Al- though there have been basic underlying consistencies in Japanese policies, there has also been enough flexibility lo effec- tively respond to the economic changes which have occurred during the last 30 years. This report is a companion volume to “Industrial Policy: Japan’s Flexible Ap- proach” (GAO/ID-82-32). QAO/ID-83-11 ’ OCTOBER X41982 UNITEO STATES GENERAL ACC~UN-~INGOFFICE WASH1NGTON, D.C. 20548 INTRINATIONAL DlVlSION B-209015 The Honorable Henry Reuss Chairman, Joint Economic Committee Congress of the United States Dear. Mr. Chairman: This report is a companion volume to our June 23, 1982, report "Industrial Policy: Japan's Flexible Approach" (GAO/ID-82-32) and contains case studies which explain in detail the assistance provided by the Japanese Govern- ment to five key industries. As you requested, our case studies include three high technology growth industries-- computers, aircraft and robotics --and two industries faced with unfavorable world market prospects--shipbuilding and textiles. Japan in the postwar period adopted economic policies that fostered economic growth. These policies were imple- mented with a mix of macro-level monetary and fiscal policies and micro-level industrial policies. Monetary and fiscal policies promoted investment by keeping interest rates low and holding government spending to a consistent share of na- tional income.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.
