Designing a National Scientific and Technological Communication System: The Scatt Report (Anniversary Collection) - Hardcover

From the Prologue

The primary purpose of the project reported here is not what it appears to be: to produce a design of a National Scientific Communication and Technology Transfer (SCATT) System that would in some sense be preferable to the one currently available. Rather, its purpose is to mobilize the large number of relatively autonomous subsystems of the current system into a collaborative effort directed at redesigning their system and implementing their design. The idealized design process used is intended to stimulate such a mobilization, and the design produced is intended to serve as a platform from which that mobilization can spring.
