Driven by the demand of more-for-less, ICT researchers are involved in a global race focussing on miniaturisation, mastering the convergence of computing, communications and media technologies, including further interoperability between systems and the convergence with other relevant sciences and disciplines, and building systems that are able to learn and evolve.

TARGET is currently being developed further by the Eurosystem. The intention is to develop it into a system with a single technical platform (TARGET 2), to minimise the potential susceptibility to breakdown of a decentralised system with its many interfaces and to improve efficiency.

Third, computers, similar to those used by police forces for direct access from their vehicles to centrally located computer files be provided to fire department vehicles so that at the scene of a transportation accident the firefighters could access the central databank to find out what was carried in the involved means of transport.

This is so absurd that Canadians must ask, ``What is going on?'' It is absurd that people responsible for security have computers that do not link up with computers used by other agencies.
