|
| With the advent of resource-sharing computer systems that distribute the capabilities and components of the machine configuration among several users or several tasks, a new dimension has been added to the problem of safeguarding computer-resident classified information. The basic problems associated with machine processing of classified information are not new. They have been encountered in the batch-processing mode of operation and, more recently, in the use of remote job-entry systems; ... |

| Authors:
David Hugh Adams; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| The Fast Fourier Transform is an algorithm for the computation of Discrete Fourier Transforms in less time than allowed by any other algorithm available. The use of special purpose digital machines to reduce those times even further is of interest for real time spectral analysis. The main principles of Fast Fourier Transforms are presented. The design of a full-parallel eight sample processor is presented as a point of reference for ... |

|
| The motions of thin and thick low density (q = omega subscript p 2/omega subscript c 2 much smaller than 1) crossed-field electron beams have been studied on the computer. Theoretical indications that such beams can be stable or unstable depending on the geometrical and electrical arrangements are supported, and the large amplitude behavior of a typical unstable configuration is found. In particular, thick, re-entrant beams can be quite stable ... |

| Real-time computer systems and real-time computations are defined for the purposes of this report. The design of software for real-time systems is discussed, employing the concept that all real-time systems belong to one of two types. The types are classified according to the type of control program used; namely: Pre-assigned Iterative Cycle and Real-time Queueing. The two types of real-time systems are described in general, with supplemental broad flow diagrams. ... |

| Authors:
Eugene Pentecost; CALIFORNIA UNIV LOS ANGELES DEPT OF ENGINEERING
|
| Optimal sequential linear estimators based on the work of Kalman and others require a recursive computation of the covariance matrix of the estimation error. The matrix multiplication required by the sampled case may become prohibitive for an operational computer designed to solve a practical problem in real time. To obtain a linear estimator with fewer computations the system state vector is partitioned into subsystem state vectors. The equations for approximating ... |

One function of the CBIS is the development of real-time models in the form of computer programs that teach. With these programs, we can perform a second function which is to conduct research relating to the decision processes necessary for teaching. A second ... |

| For the behavioral scientist, the computer provides a means of performing complex statistical analyses and a method of simulating systems of interacting variables. Data processing techniques have been applied to educational studies, information handling and communication problems. The computer has served not only as a powerful investigatory tool but also as an instigator of more significant problems. In both of these roles computers have been having a profound effect on ... |

Applications in these fields are briefly described. Education is discussed in terms of the types of information problems that are woven through the fabric of the entire educational process; from problems of collecting, storing, communicating, retrieving, and displaying information; to problems of receiving, learning, and using information. These problems ... |

| Authors:
Don W. Rain; ILLINOIS UNIV URBANA COORDINATED SCIENCE LAB
|
| A class of sequential machines which display certain symmetries in their state diagrams is investigated with emphasis on the cascadeparallel interconnection of elementary, rather than arbitrarily complex, asynchronous sequential machines. It is shown that additional feedback around a (Huffman model) machine may be used to eliminate certain states of the state diagram. This feedback is restricted only in that the delay through the feedback path must be greater than the ... |

Roger E. Levien; RAND CORP SANTA MONICA CALIF
|
| The paper is concerned with formalization of the notion of computational algorithm, determination of the class of functions computable by such algorithms, and development of a formal definition of 'general-purpose computer'. Functional systems, consisting of a set and a function in that set, were introduced and two definitions according to which they may be considered to compute functions were proposed. It was demonstrated that under the first, and more elementary, ... |

 | A graph is presented that shows a 1:1,000,000 increase in the single-address speed of representative machines at particular points between 1900 and 1960, beginning with tabulating equipment and continuing to such electronic data processing machines as STRETCH and LARC. A second graph pictures the time-phased development of speed and storage capacity between 1951 and 1960, the single-address speed in thousands of operations per second being plotted against the directly addressable ... |
