Application of the IBM 360/50 On-Line Computer System to a Forensic Science Survey Data Handling Problem

摘要

The application of on-line programs to the handling of data from a survey is discussed with reference to the general requirements and organisation of a survey. The general programs subsequently designed are described using a glass survey as an example, and flow diagrams and listings of these programs are also given. The scope of the technique and the success of the current system are indicated.
