Soviet Cybernetics Review. Volume 1, Number 6,
Abstract
Noteworthy among many articles on implementing the Party Congress directives to push automation is a Science and Technology editorial warning against a narrow, production-oriented approach--a broad, socio-economic approach is needed. A Pravda editorial recounts barriers to automated production control; a Socialist Industry article specifies them with unusual directness--lack of authority to match responsibility for automation, unrealistic training, little help from some adivisory institutes, nondissemination of successful methods. Other articles discuss specific problems. Irkutsk is experimenting with a regionwide control/management system. Centralized territorial servicing of Minsk computers is highly successful in Riga but has not been adopted elsewhere or for other makes. The goal of 12-15,000 Ryad computers, publicized abroad, has yet to see print at home; the internal version is given. Other articles discuss information retrieval; tracking the Salyut orbital station; computer grading of written examinations and prediction of epidemics; establishment of an Administration of Scientific Instrument Construction.
