PUBLICATIONS

A New Journal:

1968 and 1969 NATO Software Engineering Reports: These very famous reports, not previously readily available to our students are now available on-line, thanks to Bob McClure, who scanned and reformatted the originals, and with the permission of NATO. These should surely become "must read" items for our SE students!
The IEEE Computer Society Press has initiated a series of publications on the history of computing.
Here is the collected abstracts for the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing from Volume 15 onwards, together with other access to the IEEE Computer Society information. Click on Abstracts once in the Computer Society gopher file.
The IEEE Computer Society Press is becoming a significant publisher of books in the area of the history of computing. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Computer Society, and the 50th Anniversary of ENIAC, I am writing a series of mohtly columns entitled "looking.back" in the IEEE Computer that highlight the events in the history of computing that took place each month. For those of you who want to play reviewer, the draft versions are on-line also. Once in the directory, use your browser's finder to locate a particular month. Your comments on future columns are truly welcome! Obviously this directory is being expanded monthly!
The Jones Telecommunications and Multimedia Encyclopedia has an update section that includes both a history of computing and a history of the personal computer. We would hope that these entries stay on-line!
The beginnings of a history of computing in Sweden has been posted on the web as of 96/06/18. There are two paragraphs on Swedish history and then links to several other sites in Europe. Hopefully this will expand to give us a better understanding of the history of computing in Sweden.
