Abstract
Academic computing can be divided into three main segments: administration, research, and education. Historically, computing for these three segments has been provided by large timesharing systems. (Many universities have uncoupled administrative computing from research or educational computing for security reasons, but they still use the common technology of timesharing.) More recently, the price and performance of personal computers have made them attractive for educational computing, usually on a stand-alone basis.
