Summary:

This volume records in part the technical material presented at the 1965 Fall Joint Computer Conference. Contained in this publication are the formal papers selected from a record number of contributions submitted to the Technical Program Committee. No attempt has been made to incorporate the material presented at panels and tutorial sessions of the Conference, nor have the invited papers presented on the final day of the Conference been included. The Conference Committee hopes that a subsequent volume will emerge to catch the living spirit of such deliberations. Still, the size of this volume is large, just as the scope of the Conference is broad. This is, in part, deliberate, since the Conference attempted to provide the opportunity for professional communication on every level. Recognizing the increasing degree of specialization in the hardware and software fields, the Technical Program Committee added a third information channel to the Conference to focus attention on management and applications. These sessions dealt with questions of marketing and economics as well as applications in the scientific and humanistic fields. Thus to the orientation in hardware and software was added the direction of applications and management in the disciplines that are concerned with information processing. The most distinctive feature of this Conference, however, must be the five "discuss-only" sessions for which preprints were available before the Conference. Hopefully, new dimensions were added to the papers through a searching examination of the material on the floor of the Conference. We regret that we cannot record the results and evaluate the technique. The real and permanent contribution of the 1965 Fall Joint Computer Conference is still the technical material presented in this volume. The credit goes to the authors with greatful appreciation of the role of the Technical Program Committee and Session Chairmen who engineered the structure. Behind them are the contributions of many others who, as members of the various committees, made the Conference possible.
