  • Abstract
    The computer is often utilized in a less than ideal environment, but where an inversely proportional reliability is required. In Vietnam, Air Force planes are routed, controlled, and logistically dispersed by computer-processed military data. Soon civilian aircraft in our home skies will be similarly monitored-by necessity, not choice. Process-control applications are making possible efficiencies and productivity previously unattainable. Considering our dependency on the machine, Dr. Elmer Engstrom recently said, "A central processor which becomes disabled can, in fact, disable the functioning of an entire company."
