Abstract
This is the twentieth anniversary of "microprogramming," a term coined by M. V. Wilkes of Cambridge University, England to describe a method he proposed for a more orderly approach to the design of the control sections of computers. During these twenty years the techniques of microprogramming have served engineers well. For systems designers at IBM it provided a tool to produce the most successful family of computers in history --- the 360's.
