Computer and Information Science and Technology

RAND was at the forefront of early computer science and information technology innovations, building computers in the 1950s to improve our researchers' analysis and modeling capabilities and developing data communications technologies that were the forerunner of the Internet. Today, RAND researchers recommend policies and best practices to support continued technological innovation and adoption around the world.
