To mark the opening of a study of Comparative Innovation Policy: Best Practice for the 21st Century the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) convened a symposium providing an overview of areas to be examined in the study and topics requiring further policy attention. The event highlighted the policies and programs of leading nations and provided valuable insights into some of the common challenges of growing and supporting high-technology industry and the commercialization of public investments in R&D. This report contains a summary of the symposium proceedings and an introduction analyzing the issues and placing them in a broader policy context.
Advanced Software Applications in Japan
Original articles on all aspects of numerical mathematics, book reviews, mathematical tables, and technical notes. Covers advances in numerical analysis, application of computer methods, high speed calculating, and other aids to computation.
In 1990, while reading the Japanese journal ¿Computer Simulation,¿ author David Kahaner was surprised by an article about a computer simulation of the Loma Prieta earthquake damage to the San Francisco Bay Bridge that occurred on 17 Oct. 1989, complete with 3-dimensional color graphics showing the second level of the bridge collapsing onto the first. The article reported that a video of this computation was shown on the NHK TV News program and was very well received. The computations were done by the Ohbayashi Corp. at their Technical Research Institute on the outskirts of Tokyo. This provided a good opportunity for Kahaner to review the computational activities of this facility, a summary of which is presented here.
You don't have to understand quantum physics to understand that we are in a worldwide 'quantum boom.' With strategic, economic, and business implications, huge investments are being made and strategic plans are being developed by countries and companies to grab such opportunities. From quantum-secure communications and breaking supposedly unbreakable codes to computers with vastly greater capabilities and sensors with highly improved sensitivity, quantum technologies are viewed as a 'game-changer.' This book covers R&D of all the quantum technologies - quantum computing/simulation, quantum cryptography/communications, and quantum sensing/metrology - providing unique and timely insights acros...
