CONCOMP: Research in Conversational Use of Computers
Abstract
The report describes the final research results of the CONCOMP project: Research in the Conversational Use of Computers, which was funded from 1965-1970. This research involved the design, development, and testing of computer programs for graphical input of problem statements and graphical output of results from a computer; the application of the techniques so developed to speech synthesis, systems design research, and research in the logic of computers; the study, design, implementation, and testing of systems for describing graphical operations within the format of procedure-oriented computer programming languages. All of this work was predicted on the availability of IBM 360/67 hardware and software. When TSS was unavailable, CONCOMP undertook two additional tasks: (1) development of the conversational aspects of an operating system for the central computing facilities to support effective man-machine interaction; (2) development of an effective hardware interface for the support of the remote terminal devices.
