ResearchPublished 1969

The June issue initiates a new title for the former [Soviet Cybernetics: Recent News Items]. One article gives the first concrete evidence of a new direction in Soviet computers toward third-generation machines that are program-compatible with the IBM System 360; the M-1000, -2000, and -3000 are the first being developed. Other hardware discussed are the Ural-14, Razdan-3, BESM-4, Ruta-110, Minsk-22, -23, and -32 computers and the Robotron-300 high-speed data processing complex. One article concludes that a multimachine operating mode promises more efficiency than does multiprogramming. Several articles stress the importance of fitting computers for national economic planning and automated control systems. In an article on modeling artificial intelligence, the leading Soviet researcher on medical cybernetics points out that the creation of large-scale intelligence is only a matter of time. However, unless it is not an automaton but a personality, with a program of consciousness and imaginativeness, intelligence like man's cannot be approximated. 125 pp.
