A data processing system for State and local governments.
Expert InsightsPublished 1962
An approach to data systems for state and local governments that looks beyond mechanization of present procedures to the development of fresh concepts of information handling through the use of electronic data processing (EDP) technology. The paper emphasizes the period from 1970 to 1975 both as to foreseeable EDP equipment capabilities and as to trends in governmental characteristics that affect data systems. The entire complex of functions performed by states, counties, cities, townships, and districts is considered rather than the particular operations of any specific agency. 13 pp.
