[Soviet Cybernetics Review], Vol. 3, No. 5.

Wade B. Holland

ResearchPublished 1973

Over half this issue is devoted to reporting all available information (some conflicting) on the ES computers, including input formats and the (translated) instruction set. Dissension plagues the six-nation consortium. According to the chief Gosplan project spokesman, Cuba has recently been added. On other topics, two researchers report R&D costs far outstripping productivity gains; another, that doubling automotive production quadruples information processing labor. Articles describe: an ambitious planned automated production management system for an automotive plant; nonstandard peripherals for the BESM-6; "automatic advisers" for production control workers, also usable in automated systems; AIST timesharing systems; M-6000 control computer production; automated management of calculator production; a robot equipment operator; thirteen typical industrial management systems; relevant 1973 State Prize nominations; and proposed new "bit computers" with digital representation for accuracy and analog processing for speed. The Soviet press now prints friendly articles on U.S./USSR cooperation rather than attacks. 91 pp.
