Annual Technical Report to the Director, Advanced Research Projects Agency, for the Period 17 May 1972-16 May 1973

Abstract

Research under the contract is oriented toward the application of computer science and technology to problem areas of high impact. The research program is composed of five elements: (1) Programming Research Instrument - the development and exploration of a major time-shared microprogramming facility; (2) Automatic Programming - the study of acquisition and utilization of problem knowledge for program generation; (3) Computer Software Assurance - methods to assess the viability of the security and protection mechanisms of operating system software; (4) Network-Supporting Research - packet-switched network communications technology development including voice, data, and image use in remote conferencing applications; (5) Programmed Automation - the application of computer science technology to automation of DOD high procurement areas, including impact studies and definition of development requirements. Also reported is the development and operation of TENEX computer facilities supporting ARPA-sponsored Institute projects and some 400 external users via the ARPANET.
