			In 1983 Zakharov, then back at CERN, was commissioned by the University of Geneva to conduct a study on the computer infrastructure. The conclusions, of what came to be known as the “Zakharov Report”, recommended a considerable increase in computing resources and advocated for a pool of specialized machines, administered in a centralized manner. Furthermore, it appeared essential to enable, through a network, uniform access to the resources thus created. At the same time, it was recognized that individual workstations should not be regarded as isolated units, but rather as components of an overall structure.<ref>Dies academicus 1984, http://web.archive.org/web/20210116063421/https://www.unige.ch/archives/files/2815/4512/0999/Discours-recteur-1984.pdf.</ref><ref>Zakharov, Vasilii V, et Université de Genève Centre universitaire d’informatique.
