[Soviet Cybernetics : Recent News Items], No. 6.

Wade B. Holland

Expert InsightsPublished 1967

The July issue features three articles on problems in the Soviet computer industry. The Ministry of the Radio Industry, which manufactures computers, does not equip them with input-output devices, standard programs, algorithms, or compilers for algorithmic languages. Users must create their own. The best models operate reliably for several hundred hours, but input-output devices break down nearly every day. Magnetic tapes are noninterchangeable, and information can be stored on tape for no longer than a month. Other articles describe the RITM and BESM-3M computers, computer work in Armenia and Novosibirsk, and the new Kiev Management Information System. Also included are some photographs and annotated listings of relevant articles appearing in the Soviet press in June 1967. 94 pp.
