Description
CRATOS (Center for Research on the Applications of Telematics to Organizations and Society) research activities are directed towards the invention and the study of new applications of information and communication technologies to industry, commerce and, more generally, to all of society.
Telematics is the discipline that deals with the systems deriving from the combined use of information and communication technology. It came about with the first networks for the transmission of electronic data between computers, and developed above all with the introduction of packet switching and of digitalization; while the former led to the Internet, the first global telematic network, the latter extended the benefits of the combination of communication and computing to information of all types, including audio, video, and fixed images.
The progress of telematics has always been fueled more by technology than by applications. Only in recent times have we woken up to the real use that telematics can be put to in the manufacturing, commerce and service industries, as well as to the profound influence that its widespread introduction into daily life will have on society in general. A small, but growing, group of researchers have therefore begun to shift their attention from the problems of technology to applications, ranging from engineering to the socio-economic impact of telematics.
