HARVARD SYMPOSIUM.
Proceedings of a Symposium on Large-Scale Digital Calculating Machinery. Jointly Sponsored by The Navy Department Bureau of Ordnance and Harvard University at The Computation Laboratory 7-10 January 1947. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1948.
WITH: Proceedings of a Second Symposium on Large-Scale Digital Calculating Machinery ... 13-16 September 1949. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1951.
Together, 2 volumes. 4to. Illustrated. Original blue cloth. Both ex-library (the first H.M. Nautical Almanac Office, the second N.A.C.A.) with miscellaneous markings and de-accession stamps, including numbering removed from spines.
THE FIRST PUBLISHED PROCEEDINGS OF A LARGE CONFERENCE ON HIGH-SPEED COMPUTING. The first Harvard symposium took place on January 7-10, 1947 and was attended by 336 participants. MTAC reported that "Harvard University and the Bureau of Ordnance are to be congratulated for their enterprise in making possible this significant meeting. The extensive program reflected every phase of the sweeping progress being made in the field of large-scale calculators" (January, 1947, see lot 163). Both symposia were organized by Howard Aiken as Head of the Computation Lab.
Contents of the first include papers on the Harvard Mark I and Mark II, the ENIAC (OOC 924) and the Bell Labs Relay Calculator; George Stibitz on "The Organization of Large-Scale Computing Machinery" (OOC 913); Jay Forrestor of MIT and Jan Rajchman of RCA on storage devices (OOC 609, 848); Wassily Leontief of Harvard on "Computational Problems Arising in Connection with Economic Analysis of Interindustrial Relationships" (work for which he later won the Nobel Prize in economics); John Mauchly on "Preparation of Problems for EDVAC-Type Machines" (OOC 1136). Origins of Cyberspace 414 and 417.
