As visualized by the working group, such programs have two basic objectives:\u0000 (a) Providing the student with training in Computer Science preparing him for major positions in the industry.\u0000 (b) Testing and preparing the student for more advanced work leading to a doctorate.\u0000 Though it is not the intention of the Committee to provide a guide to the formation of a graduate program in Computer Science, it is recognized that many new programs are being developed, and thus it is hoped that the final guidelines will serve as a standard on which the various programs can be measured. To this time efforts have been concentrated on programs directed to the above objectives. It should be recognized that the question of special masters programs such as those for teachers, are not now under consideration.\u0000 The structure of the proposed program will be presented, as well as the underlying philosophy of the program. The proposal has been reviewed in several meetings of C3S, and by several departments now offering masters degrees in Computer Science.\u0000 The comments and suggestions of the various Committee members and interested professionals will be summarized, and the program will be compared with existing masters degree programs.\u0000 This presentation will be of a working document. One of the motivations for presentation of the proposal is to elicit further comments and suggestions from those attending the National Computer Conference.","PeriodicalId":376661,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS National Computer Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124477329","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}

In the private sector, there are many such systems used for tying together sales offices and warehouses or ticket offices and data banks of reservations systems, as well as serving various other scheduling, financial control or logistics operations in large corporations.

Industry interest in the terminal is focused on its potentially great advantages for retailers in improving their productivity and performance in merchandise control and credit customer control. The electronic point-of-sale terminal's appeal over the standard cash register lies in its potential for impacting the total merchandise system through increasing the speed and accuracy of transactions and providing a method of capturing greater quantities of data essential to the effective management of the merchandise system. At the check-out counter, the terminal equipped with an automatic reading device and credit verification equipment will permit the rapid completion of the sales transaction and, at the same time, capture and enter into the central system all the data necessary for closer, more effective control of the merchandise system.","PeriodicalId":376661,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS National Computer Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125862502","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}

The techniques to be covered will include systems based on tape, the various laser activated systems, and the holographic memory approaches. At least one of these approaches is directed at a homogeneous replacement for the entire memory hierarchy of the present day system. Other random access memories can reduce the need for conventional main frame memory if the system programmer properly writes his operating system. The low cost (10-6 cents/bit) memories will permit the economic storage of large data bases for a variety of users and will force the system architect to solve the large storage management problem for the mini computer user.","PeriodicalId":376661,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS National Computer Conference","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129322883","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}

One reason for this power is the ability of small computer systems to adapt to specific uses, making them an attractive and economical alternative to large- or medium-scale general purpose systems for many applications. The provision of micro-programming on many of these systems has much to do with this adaptability, since it permits the efficient design and implementation of a virtual machine suited to the needs of the particular application or intended use of the system. In this way the bare hardware can be molded to support the necessary (and often sophisticated) data and control structures desired.","PeriodicalId":376661,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS National Computer Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130569009","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}
