PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER-CENTERED DATA BASE SYSTEMS

摘要

The Second Symposium on Computer-Centered Data Base Systems was held on 20-21 September 1965. The symposium was sponsored by System Development Corporation, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Electronic Systems Division, Air Force Systems Command.nAfter introductory speeches by spokesmen for the sponsoring organizations, two tutorial papers were given--a state-of-the-art survey of data base systems and a hardware survey. This was followed by individual work group sessions.nPrior to the symposium, a data base problem had been submitted to the designers of several data base systems. At the symposium, the spokesmen for these systems described how each handled the problem.nAt the dinner, Captain C. W. Turner, DDR&E, spoke on computer-centered data base systems in support of high military command.nThe work groups continued on the morning of the second day. Following lunch the participants saw laboratory demonstrations of several of SDC's data base systems--LUCID, General Purpose Display System, and ECCO-EPIC. Following the demonstrations, the chairmen of the work groups presented the results of their meetings.
