WHAT SHOULD WE COMPUTE,

Abstract

If computers are to be used efficiently (that is, in a manner that is healthy for both the user and the vendor), then we should define what consti tutes a good computer problem. It seems patently obvious that if the wrong problems are put on the machines, inefficiency-or bankruptcy-will re sult. Fortunately, many problems are good com puting problems intrinsically and intuitively. As with many things, the extremes are obvious; the purpose of analysis is to allow us to dis criminate between the borderline cases. (Author)
