- Summary:
- The National Computer Conference is an institution of the U.S. computer industry. Each year at the NCC, thousands representing companies, government agencies, and universities gather, and a forum is provided for hundreds of them. Much of what occurs is of course ephemeral, a great deal is of current and very practical value, and some lasts for many years. The Proceedings of the NCC is a principal element of that set of things from the conference with lasting value. This 1981 Conference Proceedings, the fiftieth volume in the series, is an exhibit of the labors of Dr. Alex Orden, Program Chairman of the 1981 NCC. The myriad of details connected with organizing a program of this scope are treated in Professor Orden's introduction, and the reader will be wise to use that section as a road map before beginning to traverse the extensive volume. Authors of papers appearing here have contributed a great deal also, as have referees, session organizers, panelists, and other presenters of information at the conference whose contributions could not be made fully apparent in this volume. Another person who must be mentioned is the one who shepherded production of this Proceedings, Elizabeth G. Emanuel of AFIPS Press; her work was excellent and in keeping with the fine tradition at AFIPS established by Nelle W. Morgan many years ago.
