Abstract
The two topics on information and instrumentation dealt with by the four speakers in this session were most clearly linked by the third paper on computer networks presented by William McHenry. Here a technology was assessed which, as part of its more general impact on science and technology in the USSR, may already be influencing significantly the effectiveness of information flows and the speed of communications within and beyond the Soviet scientific community.
