The Information Society is based around a set of core
technologies, systems and infrastructures.
|
|
| |
|
| This
key action focuses on these building blocks, promoting their development
and introduction across Europe as well as broadening their field
of application. It addresses the convergence of information processing,
communications and networking technologies and infrastructures.
It will therefore focus on technologies and infrastructures which
are common to several applications. |
