Bengelsdorf, I S

Does this mean that university computer courses should become more programming orientated. The importance of avoiding narrow specialisation in such a rapidly changing field is stressed. The most important arena in which universities can help avert Japanese dominance is in the field of artificial intelligence and expert systems.
