- Summary
- Proceedings of a July 1997 NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in Bled, Slovenia. Unlike traditional proceedings, the editors note, it contains not formal papers but "the essence of ideas and discussion" that arose during the workshop and presents "the full polarity of ideas generated ... in the form of descriptions of session content." Sessions cover topics including scientific, economic-strategic, and practitioner perspectives on assessing technologies; stories of technology management; key research questions and challenges; and tools for the technosophic approach, which combines data, knowledge, and experience in assessing and analyzing technology. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
