Abstract

It has been almost a third of a century since the world was caught up in a complex computing and software political clash. The clash was over something originally called the Strategic Defense Intiative (SDI), later somewhat-facetiously called "Star Wars," the notion of an anti-missile system that would shoot down an incoming enemy missile. The time was around the mid- 1980s. The two most vehement sides on the issue were - academic and theoretic computer science types, who thought it couldn't be done. - practitioner engineers and software people, who thought it could.
