Analyst Assistance Program (AAP)

Abstract

Analyst Assistance Program (AAP) is an on-line graphically oriented conversational computing system designed to perform small nonrecurring numerical computations. It is implemented to run under a multiprogrammed time-shared system (developed at the U. S. Naval Weapons Laboratory) on an IBM 360/40 computer. AAP is currently operational via two user consoles consisting of an IBM 2250 cathode ray tube display with alphanumeric keyboard and light pen, and a slow speed printer. The system is reentrant, and thus is capable of driving more than two terminals, if available.
