He focuses on the editor's role in producing such a book but also provides information for contributing authors. He discusses much of the strategy used to produce the 'IBM 9370 Enterprise System (ES): Technology and Development' book, which contains 27 papers by 51 authors about such diverse topics as computer architecture design, circuit packaging enhancements, and operating system tools. Although the example focuses on computing systems, the principles elaborated can be used to create a technology book for almost any product.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":259373,"journal":{"name":"International Professional Communication Conference 'Communicating to the World.',","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129151843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
