The biennial conferences of the Society for Underwater Technology have
achieved an excellent reputation for the quality of their presentations,
which cover topics of the most acute current interest, as well as those
at the forefront of review and development. The 1994 conference on
Subsea Control and Data Acquisition formed no exception, since it covers
subjects at the cutting edge of modern technology. It is a matter of
increasing concern that products are becoming overspecified, resulting
in excessive costs and longer development schedules, while not
conferring an equivalent benefit in reliability of the finished product.
Subsea Control and Data Acquisition is vital reading for all subsea
control system designers, manufacturers and operators, equipment
consultants, application engineers, academics in the subsea engineering
field, and all subsea engineers.
