摘要
The development of a new technology like microsystems is not only a technological step, but also a process of the society in correlations with many fields of our personal and social life. This paper has the intention of looking at the dynamics of microsystems in the field put up by technology, economy and society. The following are the three main questions: 1. What are the typical features of microsystems? Where are the advantages and drawbacks? 2. What is known about the microsystems market and its dynamics? Published market studies are critically reviewed. 3. What are the most important prerequisites for application? Four main topics are identified. availability of production, performance, reliability and cost. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
