Final Report and Recommendations on Regional Computing Centre Development

The Draft Report of the Joint Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Regional Computing Centres of the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario made a tentative recommendation that a regional computer center should be developed for the use of Ontario universities. However, on further investigation it was found that such a computer center would be financially unfeasible at the present time. Thus, the subcommittee recommends that the Ontario universities establish a full-time Computing Coordination Group to study alternate computer possibilities, such as the use of commercial facilities, and to ensure that information relating to computer technology is distributed to all Ontario universities.
