Information Technology Engineering and Measurement Model: Adding Lane Markings tothe Information Superhighway

摘要

Development of the National Information Infrastructure (NII) will depend uponbuilding vast networks on the interconnected computers communicating over high-speed digital lines. This paper describes the growth of the NII concept and proposes a model-the Information Technology Engineering and Measurement (ITEM) model-that may be useful in describing the set of services an operational NII may contain.
