Outline:
Approximately 600 visitors came to the RWC booth over the four days. Many
visitors asked many questions and/or requested brochures on the RWC Project and
Optical Interconnection Distributed Laboratories.
Optical interconnection, which is now attracting major attention, will be a
critical key technology in the development of seamless computers (parallel
super-PC systems connecting many PCs) in the future.
