Series Foreword
This book is the third to appear in a new series devoted to all aspects of the history of computers and of information processing. Earlier volumes have been devoted to such topics as technical innovation and the decisions leading to a new computer system or the memoirs of a major pioneer in the area of computer design and operation. It is planned that future volumes will deal with the many aspects of the development of systems, of hardware, and of software. There will be both general works and specialized monographs.
Some books being planned for the series will be of a biographical or autobiographical nature. Others will concentrate on particular aspects of computer history, such as the development and use of a major programming language. It is hoped that there will be technical histories of the industrial companies that have been part of the computer revolution as well as studies of the role of universities and of individuals in this revolution. One goal of the series is to sponsor historically based inquiries into the social, political, and economic aspects of the introduction and use of computers and of information processing.
