Summary:

The ninth Joint Computer Conference which was the fourth Western Meeting under joint sponsorship, was held for the first time in San Francisco this year. The change in the site for this Western Meeting from Los Angeles to San Francisco bespeaks the increased activity and interest in computers on the West Coast. More emphasis was placed this year than at the past few conferences on the strictly engineering phases of computers. Thirty-eight technical papers were presented, with parallel sessions being used on four occasions. As has become the custom, exhibits of computer systems and components formed a part of the conference program together with a number of inspection trips to local computer installations. The registration of over 1,000, as well as members of the public, was able to inspect exhibits in 39 booths prepared by 25 companies prominent in the computer field.
