ARPA Policy-Formulation Interrogation Network

Abstract

The report describes progress made in the development of network- oriented system for teleconferencing. The program is called FORUM. Most of the preliminary software tests have now been completed. The current version (Release 4) follows the specifications given in the previous semiannual report, of which the general systems features of the Programmer's, Chairman's, and Respondent's Guides are still applicable. The present document addresses itself more specifically to a review of practical experience in the use of FORUM both at the Institute and within the ARPANET community. It is divided into three sections describing: (1) the current program status; (2) user experience to date; and (3) implementation plans beyond Release 4. An analysis of user reaction at USC- ISE is described in the second section of the report, with background data as a special appendix to the report.
