Sumario: | This volume embodies the substance of technical presentations made at the first of two major computer conferences to be held this year. Taking a name which designates when it took place, rather than its geographic location, the 1962 Spring Joint Computer Conference heralds recognition that these meetings are nationwide in scope, no longer mere regional conventions. AFIPS continues the tradition of the former Western Joint Computer Conferences by bringing together from all parts of the country men of talent who can provoke and inspire us to meet the challenges which face our industry today. Each paper presented has been selected for the unique contribution which its author can make toward satisfying our industry's appetite for new ideas. Rather than catering to any one specific theme, this program touches the highlights of new developments, points out trends, summarizes progress, and orients the computer field with other disciplines. We trust that this book will meet the need for which it was designed: to serve as a valuable source of reference to a collection of technical literature for the computer industry.
