Promising avenues for computer research

Abstract

Part I of the session is a presentation by the four panelists. We would like to give you our views on computing as it can be in the year 1970. In Part II, we invite the audience to comment. We'll be very pleased to have you air controversial views. We on the panel agree we do not know all the answers. First, we want to isolate promising avenues of research related to the potential payoff, secondly, we want to emphasize either existing research that should be encouraged or research that is not now active and is needed.
