Abstract | The West Virginia Network for Educational Telecomputing (WVNET) was formed in March 1975 and provides a full range of academic and administrative information processing services to fifteen State supported colleges and universities. This paper briefly reviews the purpose of, rationale for, and configuration of the network. Accomplishments and shortcomings are discussed, as are current efforts toward developing "common administrative applications systems." Certain short range efforts, necessary for surviving the near-term period, appear to hold promise for the longer haul ahead. Finally, it is seen that some particularly attractive opportunities for "distributed" information processing exist. An examination is made of how one might go about turning opportunity into reality over the next several years. (Author) |
