The developing software industry of Taiwan

The Taiwan government, through the Institute for Information Industry, is undertaking several nationwide projects and developing new products and technology. There are four government-sponsored national programs that clearly indicate the local industry's ability to create software for large-scale computer systems. These projects are the financial information system (FIS), the Taiwan meteorological system, the residential registration system (RRS), and the patient care system. The government, with cooperation and guidance from the private sector, is also addressing the critical need for increased software R&D.<>
