Expert InsightsPublished 1967

The November 1967 issue features a 25-page article on the logical organization of the VNIIEM-3 control computer. The issue also includes articles on heuristic programming; the Pattern Recognition Laboratory at Novosibirsk; the Glushkov survey of management systems; the management system at the Barnaul Radio Plant; and on the automation of national planning calculations at the Ukraine GOSPLAN. This latter article mentions problems caused by hardware shortcomings, unreliable tapes, slow input/output, lack of organized program exchange, and shortages of programmers and mathematical economists. The monthly summary of relevant press items reports that Moscow traffic is to be unjammed by sensor- and TV-controlled signals. The present five-year plan calls for over 600 new automated management control systems and 230 computer centers.
