七十年代这十年间由于多种学科、多种船只和许多国家的研究计划给我们带来了广阔的海洋科学。若没有计算机,我们就无从整理这种计划所产生的空前未有的大量资料。尽管有了计算机,我们可能还不理解所收集到的这些资料。正如大会计划所总结的问题。“我们现在面临一个充满矛盾的时期。有些海洋学家认为必须使航海船上计算机的大小和能力不断升级……而另一些海洋学家则感到必须把海上的计算强度减少到最小并且利用标准电讯技术的方便在岸上完成更高级的处理。我们注意到一个研究机构的科学家使用另一个研究机构船只的倾向在增加。我们看到了 In the seventies of the last decade, due to a variety of disciplines, many kinds of vessels and many countries’ research programs brought us vast marine science. Without a computer, we have not been able to sort through the unprecedented amount of information generated by such programs. Despite the computer, we may not understand the information collected. As the General Assembly plan to summarize the issue. "We now face a time of conflict, and some oceanographers think it is necessary to escalate the size and capabilities of computers on board a marine vessel ... while others believe it is imperative to minimize the computational power at sea and to use standard telecommunication technologies We are aware of the increasing tendency of one research institute scientist to use another research institute vessel. We have seen
