ARPA Policy-Formulation Interrogation Network

Abstract

The report summarizes the first year's results of a project to develop a group-via-computer interrogation network. Most of the effort to date has been devoted to programming and preliminary system tests with up to five terminals. The current version (Release 3) of the interrogation network computer program has been completed according to the specifications given in the previous semiannual report. Three documents attached to this report provide greater detail on the architecture and operation of the interrogation network computer program. These are (1) the Programmer's Guide, which describes the system programs and file structures; (2) the Chairman's Guide, which describes and provides instructions for the running of an inquiry via the interrogation network; and (3) the Respondent's Guide, which gives simplified instructions for participation in such an inquire.
