Rather than beginning with the history of hardware, this project takes as its point of departure the way in which actors in different sectors of society used computer technology in order to achieve a higher degree of control over crucial processes, whether through electronic data processing systems, process control or technical/scientific computation. %G English %Z TC 9 %Z WG 9.7 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01564631/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01564631/file/978-3-642-23315-9_48_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01564631 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01564631 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC9 %~ IFIP-WG9-7 %~ IFIP-HINC %~ IFIP-AICT-350
