What should catch up with India? Is it the direction of China's software industry? 2002-05-31
This year, it is called "Software Year", saying that "as long as the talent structure is reasonable, the Chinese software industry can be more than two years can catch up with India." The so-called "catch up with India", what is it over? Walking the road of "Technical Industry and Trade", developing our core technology first look at the "Trade Technology" and "Technical Industry and Trade". The basic development strategy of the Indian software industry can be summarized in "trade technology", namely, with trade head, production needs to drive technology development, and more specifically, the achievement of Indian software is mainly from labor export trade. Since the development goals are not domestic, although India's software labor export trade volume is very considerable, there is no master core technology, the entire software industry is running in someone else and married clothes for others, the result, its information industry Still backward, all walks of business, people's living environment, social culture and science education, and even the quality of the national qualities, there is no substantive development benefit from the Software and Information Industry as the United States. Is this the development direction of China's software industry? In this issue, the author urged the academician Ni Guangnan, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Ni Guangnan said: For China, "Trade and Technology Techniques" is in theory and practice; China needs to develop independent and complete software industry systems, which has developed with India to rely on the processing of US software industry, It is different; now, many people emphasize to learn the Indian software industry, I think it is necessary to make attention: I can learn some experience in India, but I can't imitate the development model of India. The views of Ni Guangnan academicians are very reasonable. From safe consideration, China must have their own core technology and its set of software industry standards. Microsoft's software products are unsafe, not only in China, but also in the United States is also a consensus of many institutions and customers. At the end of last year, newspapers and periodicals such as "New York Times" said that the US Federal Investigation Bureau made a warning. It is recommended that customers take preventive measures to Microsoft Window Series Software Products to ensure safety. At the same time, the US "Wall Street Technology" magazine shows that many US Banks and financial companies have a big question of Microsoft's product quality and whether data security is guaranteed, so it has been very cautious about adopting the company's products. For these warnings and questions, Microsoft did not come up with a convincing answer. According to reports, the company is doing, which is the basic training of 9,000 employees to receive information security. Microsoft's mother-in-law is not at ease, China naturally can't get lightly. From the development of national strength, China needs their own core technology, the atomic bomb and aerospace technology is a powerful proof. At present, China's atomic bomb and space technology may not be as good as the United States and Russia, but they have, the national defense strength and international status of the whole country have improved, and there are technologies, how to climb higher levels. . If China's atomic bomb and space business are also engaged in "trade technology", then today's China will not be respected by the whole world. The same truth, in the era of information science, there is no core technology and industrial standards in the information industry, the trade volume is great, and the national strength is also difficult to get substantially improved. The strategic difference between "Technical Industry and Trade" and "Trading Technology" two ideas is self-evident. Respect the basic principles, seeing historical conditions from Chinese characteristics, China is very necessary to develop their own software industrial standards. English tools and software can spread all the corners of the global information industry, not the result of the so-called "language hegemony", but the result of long-term technology development.
In 1948, the US Bel lab room flash farmers and other scientists have proposed the basic theory of modern information. According to these principles, IBM and other companies have developed a series of information science techniques until the establishment of structural relations data theory in the 1970s, forming from operating systems. , Data model, algorithm language, programming tools, application software and communications, etc. A complete set of English software technology and industrial standards, these technologies and standards are still in development. In other words, English tools and software can have today's development advantage, which is the result of decades for decades. Indian software industry does not need to ask modern information scholarships and language text methods, very simple: Due to historical reasons, India's second language is the basic construction of the Indian software industry, and Western countries such as the Indian software have been completed. The Chinese software industry has no historical conditions for the Indian software industry. For example, only the Chinese character encoding system, from the beginning to the present, the average is updated every five years, according to this speed, it takes 10 to 15 years for the existing Chinese characters to have a character set; this character set is suitable for Chinese data I haven't made a scientific inspection and evaluation of persuasiveness; "Wan Ma (code) Pentium" for many years, no matter how high the "patriotism" toned, they are basically moved, not based on Chinese data Designed. "Hanhua" and moved on English can solve the basic operational problems such as input and output and search of Chinese data, but can not solve the problem of comprehensive management of Chinese data. For example, Chinese data sorting and algorithm language, it is easy to make ambiguous error without a space-free text mode. Regardless of the data management model and algorithm, etc. Need? The basic principle of modern information is solved these problems is the objective requirement of Chinese data. It is also the basis for developing their own software industrial standards. These infrastructure issues need to be solved by developing core technologies, and export labor trade is not good. As for those who resort to "Language Hegemony", "Intellectual Property Excellers", or Chinese English is good, it is almost rather than or use emotional instead of scientific and technological arguments, and has the development of their core technology and complete industrial standards, no Any positive significance. How many opportunities have the Internet provide? The popularity of the Internet seems to get rid of Microsoft mode and build their own orbit to provide a chance. However, if the development idea is to catch India, then this opportunity will not help. The Internet is different from Microsoft mode. Direct performance is the opening of the source code, and the substance is not open or not. IBM has provided actual experiences for this. In 1995, in the face of the world's popular boom, IBM made strategic decisions: giving up its own operating system OS / 2 and personal computer business, concentrating strength to do a good job in network large and medium-sized hosts and basic research. At that time, many people believe that IBM surrendered to Microsoft Window system; in fact, IBM is three openings of the entire enterprise, the leading ideology is three open: the network is open to all operating systems, all departments and enterprises within the enterprise are open to each other , Social information resources and information technology open, through these openings, share resources, improve corporate productivity and improve cost-effectiveness. IBM's open network is very successful, promoting the netization and social networking of large enterprises such as GE. With this successful foundation, regardless of Microsoft's actions, they will not affect the overall situation of the US information industry. Therefore, the US government dares to make anti-monopoly prosecution to Microsoft. The starting point of the Indian software industry is the computer network, but the road to it is closed.
