  • Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153
    Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length.

  • THE PROVISION of WIDE-AREA NETWORKING FACILITIES Dr
    - 240 - THE PROVISION OF WIDE-AREA NETWORKING FACILITIES Dr Barrie J Charles Joint Network Team of the Computer Board and Research Councils, c/o Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, CHILTON, Didcot, Oxon 0X11 OQX, UK ABSTRACT The academic community in the United Kingdom is currently engaged in an extensive programme to provide comprehensive networking facilities within and among the 47 universities and numerous research institutions in the British Isles. The programme is described and the possible provision of similar facilities on an international scale discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION Since the 1960s, funds for large scale computers in universities and academic research institutes in the United Kingdom have been provided centrally through organisations reporting to the Department of Education and Science. This central funding made possible the establishment of national or regional facilities designed to handle the needs of users which could not be met by an institution's local computing equipment. The distance between these users and the central machines encouraged the early establishment of data communication facilities. Today the primary requirements for wide-area networks are seen as: access to large national or regional centres; facility or resource sharing between sites; database access; electronic mail; software distribution; a tool for multi-site scientific collaborations; a means for the itinerant worker to access his home base. Many of these activities are also now becoming practical internationally and local networks are seen as satisfying similar requirements on a smaller geographical scale. - 241 - HISTORY During the early to mid 1970s many separate networks were set up in the UK academic community. These were based either on the packet- switching techniques made popular by the advent of the ARPA network in the United States or on proprietary RJE protocols such as IBM HASP, CDC 200UT or ICL 7020.

  • The Kermit File Transfer Protocol
    THE KERMIT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Frank da Cruz February 1985 This is the original manuscript of the Digital Press book Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, ISBN 0-932976-88-6, Copyright 1987, written in 1985 and in print from 1986 until 2001. This PDF file was produced by running the original Scribe markup-language source files through the Scribe publishing package, which still existed on an old Sun Solaris computer that was about to be shut off at the end of February 2016, and then converting the resulting PostScript version to PDF. Neither PostScript nor PDF existed in 1985, so this result is a near miracle, especially since the last time this book was "scribed" was on a DECSYSTEM-20 for a Xerox 9700 laser printer (one of the first). Some of the tables are messed up, some of the source code comes out in the wrong font; there's not much I can do about that. Also (unavoidably) the page numbering is different from the printed book and of couse the artwork is missing. Bear in mind Kermit protocol and software have seen over 30 years of progress and development since this book was written. All information herein regarding the Kermit Project, how to get Kermit software, or its license or status, etc, is no longer valid. The Kermit Project at Columbia University survived until 2011 but now it's gone and all Kermit software was converted to Open Source at that time. For current information, please visit the New Open Source Kermit Project website at http://www.kermitproject.org (as long as it lasts).

  • The Alvey Programme
    6/6/2018 The Alvey Programme Informatics Informatics Department The Alvey Programme Informatics → Alvey Overview The Alvey Programme was the dominating focus of Information Technology research in the period 1983 to 1988. Prior to the Alvey Programme, university, industrial and government research were primarily separate activities. The Science and Engineering Research Council's research grants were, on the whole, reactive in that proposals were sent in and SERC either accepted or rejected them. In the late 1970s, SERC had become more pro-active with the appearance of Specially Promoted Programmes such as the Distributed Computing Systems Programme that ran from 1977 to 1984. Here the emphasis was placed on a coordinated programme of research in an area which was regarded as particularly relevant. The Alvey Programme made a major change to the way computing research was organised in the UK as a whole. For a variety of reasons, it was decided that there needed to be a more focused way of doing industrial and university research in this important area. Some of the main points were: The area was pre-competitive advanced information technology research The focus was four areas that seemed particularly relevant at the time: Software Engineering Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems Man Machine Interaction Advanced Microelectronics (VLSI Design) Research was a collaboration between academia, government and industry Research was directed into important areas and coordinated Funding was substantial, £350M at 1982 prices The involvement of Informatics Department in the Programme came about because of its role in coordinating the DCS Programme and later the Software Technology Initiative. Bob Hopgood, Rob Witty and David Duce were the three academic coordinators over the life of the DCS Programme.

  • Kermit Protocol Manual
    KERMIT PROTOCOL MANUAL Sixth Edition Frank da Cruz Columbia University Center for Computing Activities New York, New York 10027 June 1986 Copyright (C) 1981,1986 Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York Permission is granted to any individual or institution to copy or use this document, except for explicitly commercial purposes. Preface to the Sixth Edition The sixth edition (June 1986) of the Kermit Protocol Manual is being issued for two major reasons: to correct minor errors in the fifth edition, and to include new sections on two major protocol extensions: long packets and sliding windows. No attempt has been made to reorganize, rewrite, or otherwise improve the protocol manual. The Kermit protocol has been presented in an entirely different -- hopefully more thorough, organized, coherent, and useful (if not more formal) -- manner in the book, Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, by Frank da Cruz, Digital Press, Bedford MA (1987), ISBN 0-932376-88-6, DEC order number EY-6705E-DP. If you have the book, you won't need this protocol manual. On the other hand, if you don't have the book, this manual should still contain all the necessary information. The Kermit Protocol Manual will continue to be freely distributed in perpetuity. The bare-bones C-language Kermit program that appeared as an appendix in previous editions has been removed. It was not a particularly good example of how to write a Kermit program, and made the manual unnecessarily thick. For sample Kermit programs, see the source code for any of the hundreds of Kermit implementations, or follow the program fragments in the book.
