Abstract :
Three important developments during 1988 are discussed. They are: the availability of global models of cooperative security systems for use on PCs; the blending of artificial-intelligence-based heuristic search and concepts associated with optimization in operations research and automatic control; and the use of novel technologies to improve semiconductor reliability.<>
