SOVIET CYBERNETICS: RECENT NEWS ITEMS, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 3, 1969
Abstract
The issue features an article on small computers and a progress report on the State Network of Computing Centers. Two articles, one popular and one technical, describe the planned Sirena-1 system for airline reservations. The system differs from Western systems in two respects: (1) It does not apply to all of Aeroflot's ticket sales and reservations, but only to the Moscow airport, with some tie-ins to other major airports for return flights to Moscow. (2) It provides automated printing for individual passenger tickets. A description of the computer science curricular and support activities of Moscow State University is provided by an article on the University Computer Center. Other items of interest include (1) a biography of Academician, Engineer-Admiral Aksels I. Berg, on the occasion of his 75th birthday; (2) a critique on how scientists spend their working hours; (3) an article on the Lvov Information Control System (designed by Glushkov for the Lvov TV Factory), which the Ukranian Academy of Sciences has ordered to be generalized for use in a wide range of factories engaged in mass production of a limited variety of products.
