Abstract
Large systems architectural ideas progressed very rapidly during the middle of the 60's but is currently in a sort of hiatus. This hiatus is largely due to the need to digest the significance of the preceding developments and is currently reinforced by the economic recession. These architectural developments have yielded announced or about to be announced products like the IBM 195, the CDC 7600 and STAR, and the ILLIAC IV. These machines represent not only different solutions to the problem of high performance, but also different views of what constitutes the problem. These concepts of problems, along with their solutions, goes from: consisting of identical processing performed at each of a great many points---so put in many execution units run by a single instruction control---and ranges to: problems require quite diverse functions rather locally---so make it possible to utilize these diverse facilities concurrently. These machines above are listed in the order of their degree of independence of problem regularity when it occurs. The common denominator of these machines is the intent to capitalize upon the existence of concurrently executable sequentially independent process strings.

Trends in electronic business data systems development
AIEE-IRE '54 (Western): Proceedings of the February 11-12, 1954, western computer conference: Trends in computers: automatic control and data processingWhen I began a week or ten days ago to think seriously about preparing for this talk, I came up with the conclusion that it is probably considerably more difficult now than it was a few years ago for a luncheon speaker to prepare a talk on the ...
Recent trends in Middle Eastern scientific production
We compared the scientific output of 16 countries from the Middle East during the period 1996---2014 to 27 countries from West Europe and to the average world production, analyzing data year by year, in order to find trends. Overall, our data shows that ...
Representing trends and trend dependencies with multiple granularities
TIME '06: Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Symposium on Temporal Representation and ReasoningIn this paper we propose a formal framework allowing the expression of temporal trends which involve multiple granularities. We first discuss the representation of trend dependencies and then we propose a characterization of trends according to ...
