It is generally recognized that, at the present stage of development, businesses must process data to produce reports useful for management guidance in making decisions. Such reports are, however, often more dependent upon what data are available and the mechanics of processing than upon managerial needs for facts and abilities to use them. This arrangement might be called the "push" or "supply" approach to data processing.

Before making any attempt to outline the course of future development in computer systems technology, it is well to review briefly the present state of the art and how it arrived at that state. The system designs of the first digital computers such as the Harvard Mark I, the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (Eniac), and others were largely influenced by ideas presented 100 years earlier by Babbage. In general, the system was comprised of a set of decimal registers, each capable of transmitting numbers in parallel fashion to and from other registers. When a register received a number from another source it was capable of adding that number to any number already contained in that register. Computations were achieved by transmitting numbers back and forth among the various registers with, of course, suitable refinements to obtain the desired results.

At The National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a new large-scale digital system has been designed for carrying out a wide range of experimental investigations that are of special importance to the Government. The system can be utilized for investigating new or stringent applications of these general types: 1. data-processing applications, in which the system can be used for performing accounting and information-retrieval operations for management purposes; 2. mathematical applications, in which the system, can be used for performing mathematical calculations for scientific purposes, including scientific data-reduction; 3. control applications, in which the system can be used for performing realtime control and simulation operations, in conjunction with analog computer facilities or in conjunction with other instrument installations, remotely located if necessary; and 4. network applications, in which the system can be used in conjunction with other digital computer facilities, forming an interconnected communication network in which all the machines can work together collaboratively on large-scale problems that are beyond the reach of any single machine.

In the design and development of today's complex computers, the ratio of routine and repetitive work to creative engineering is getting larger and larger. The factors which make the development of a large scale computer a lengthy and time-consuming process are more and more the sheer mass of detail work that must be performed; the drafting and checking of logic diagrams; the assignment of circuit components to printed cards, of printed cards to panels, of panels to gates and frames; the routing of signal and power wiring between the thousands of circuit components; the production of the many pieces of paper needed to convey to manufacturing, production control, cost engineering, maintenance engineering, etc., the details they require to do their work. There would be every reason to question the feasibility of embarking on a new development project were it not for the fact that a considerable number of these detail tasks are practical computer applications.
