Results include a model which simulates the growth of a forest in a particular time dependent environment and an implementation of that model using a digital computer and assumed data. At present the model is somewhat restricted in level of detail and range of applicability. It is, however, believed to be a pioneer in plant sciences, and further study will surely suggest directions for refinement in level of detail. The range of applicability is constrained by factors not modeled to a young, growing forest of natural occurrence in a particular environment. Validity is anticipated, not for individual trees, but for the entire forest presented as an ecological system.","PeriodicalId":180876,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the April 30--May 2, 1968, spring joint computer conference","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1968-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128705099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a machine must be able to scan letters on a normal printed page, then recognize the scanned letters and punctuation, and finally convert the resultant character strings into an encoded form that may be perceived by some nonvisual sensory modality. Within recent years, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an opaque scanner has been developed, and an algorithm for recognizing scanned letters has been devised. The output display can take many forms, but the form that we feel is best suited for acceptably high reading speeds and intelligibility is synthesized speech. Effort has recently been focused on the conversion of orthographic letter strings to synthesized speech.","PeriodicalId":180876,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the April 30--May 2, 1968, spring joint computer conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124523973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
