Explorer is a dynamic service. We add and remove technologies to reflect their changing importance and impact on the research and business environments.

Discontinued Technologies

Explorer adds and removes technology areas according to both clients' interest and the commercial status of technologies. Discontinued technologies are areas that the Explorer service once covered but whose importance and impact on the business environment have changed such that they no longer lend themselves to Explorer coverage as stand-alone topics. Explorer analysts continue to watch these subjects to identify any new opportunities or technology developments that might arise, and they report any such developments in other related Explorer technology areas.

Explorer offers 30-day Web access to the publications archives of these technologies. If you would like access to these documents, please contact us to discuss pricing and details.
