S&P editor in chief Carl Landwehr presented Ware with the award on 6 November 2006 at RAND in Santa Monica, California. S&P’s editorial board and RAND executives attended a reception immediately following the ceremony. Ware joined Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study in 1946, contributing to the design of the first parallel and asynchronous digital computer with John von Neumann. In 1952, he joined RAND and remains a senior computer scientist emeritus. In addition to his work at RAND, the early 1970s saw Ware chair the Special Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems. The committee’s report, nicknamed the Ware Report, was the cornerstone of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. The late US President Gerald Ford appointed Ware to the Privacy IEEE Security & Privacy editor in Protection Study Commission, which authored a report that remains the most definitive exami- chief Carl E.

    Computer Oral History Collection, 1969-1973, 1977 Interviewee: Morris Rubinoff Interviewer: Richard R. Mertz Date: May 17, 1971 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History MERTZ: Professor Rubinoff, would you care to describe your early training and background and influences. RUBINOFF: The early training is at the University of Toronto in mathematics and physics as an undergraduate, and then in physics as a graduate. The physics was tested in research projects during World War II, which was related to the proximity fuse. In fact, a strong interest in computational techniques, numerical methods was developed then, and also in switching devices because right after the War the proximity fuse techniques were used to make measurements of the angular motions of projectiles in flight. To do this it was necessary to calculate trajectories. Calculating trajectories is an interesting problem since it relates to what made the ENIAC so interesting at Aberdeen. They were using it for calculating trajectories, unknown to me at the time. We were calculating trajectories by hand at the University of Toronto using a method which is often referred to as the Richardson method. So the whole technique of numerical analysis and numerical computation got to be very intriguing to me. MERTZ: Was this done on a Friden [or] Marchant type calculator? RUBINOFF: MERTZ: This was a War project at the University of Toronto? RUBINOFF: This was a post-War project. It was an outgrowth of a war project on proximity fuse. It was supported by the Canadian Army who were very interested in finding out what made liquid filled shell tumble rather than fly properly when they went through space.

  • Building Computers in 1953: JOHNNIAC"
    The Computer Museum History Center presents "Building Computers in 1953: JOHNNIAC" Willis Ware Bill Gunning JOHNNIAC Designer JOHNNIAC Project Engineer Paul Armer Mort Bernstein RAND Department Head JOHNNIAC Software Developer 5:30 PM, Tuesday, Sept. 15, 1998 Computer Museum History Center Building 126 Moffett Field Mt. View JOHNNIAC was one of an illustrious group of computers built in the early 1950's, all inspired by the IAS computer designed by John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Some of these machines were MANIAC (Los Alamos) and ILLIAC (Univ. of Illinois), as well as WEIZAC, AVIDAC, and ORDVAC. JOHNNIAC was built at RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, and named after John von Neumann himself (he "disapproved", but didn't complain too much). This talk will be given in front of JOHNNIAC itself, the actual machine, since it is now part of the Computer Museum History Center at Moffett Field, the world's largest collection of historical computer hardware. JOHNNIAC ran for the first time in March, 1954. It pioneered the development of time shared operating systems with JOSS (the JOHNNIAC Open Shop System). JOSS could support several dozen users with drum swapping -- there were no disk drives then, so no disk swapping, but instead large rotating drums for magnetic storage. JOHNNIAC also inaugurated the commercial use of magnetic core memory, iron doughnuts on wires, which dominated computer memories for the next decade. Among other tasks, JOHNNIAC was also used to develop digitizing tablets for computer input. Our speakers were all working on JOHNNIAC over 40 years ago.

  • Computer History II
    Key Events in the History of Computing II Post World War II 1945 Grace Murray Hopper, working in a temporary World War I building at Harvard University on the Mark II computer, found the first computer bug beaten to death in the jaws of a relay. She glued it into the logbook of the computer and thereafter when the machine stops (frequently) they tell Howard Aiken that they are "debugging" the computer. The very first bug still exists in the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian Institution. The word bug and the concept of debugging had been used previously, perhaps by Edison, but this was probably the first verification that the concept applied to computers. 14 February 1946 ENIAC was unveiled in Philadelphia. ENIAC represented still a stepping stone towards the true computer, for differently than Babbage, Eckert and Mauchly, although they knew that the machine was not the ultimate in the state-of-the-art technology, completed the construction. ENIAC was programmed through the rewiring the interconnections between the various components and included the capability of parallel computation. ENIAC was later to be modified into a stored program machine, but not before other machines had claimed the claim to be the first true computer. 1946 was the year in which the first computer meeting took place, with the University of Pennsylvania organizing the first of a series of "summer meetings" where scientists from around the world learned about ENIAC and their plans for EDVAC. Among the attendees was Maurice Wilkes from the University of Cambridge who would return to England to build the EDSAC.

In her classroom, I finally understood why history mattered: it informs how we think of our world.

We're here today. I'm Dag Spicer with the Computer History Museum. I'm here with Akrevoe Emmanou— Akrevoe Emmanouilides: Emmanouilides. Spicer: Emmanouilides. And could you just spell that for us so we have it on camera? Emmanouilides: Of course. My first name is A-k-r-e-v-o-e. My last name is E-m-m-a-n-o-u-i-l-i-d-e-s. And Akrevoe is the Greek word for expensive or precious, and Emmanouilides means the son of Emmanuel. Spicer: So that's a great name, great combination. Thanks for being with us today. I really appreciate that, and especially, you coming to visit us just kind of on a lark last week. You just came by to say hello and we met, and it turned out that you actually were present at some very important times in computer history. And before we get to those, I thought we'd just start out with your early childhood and where you grew up and maybe a bit about your parents and your schooling. Why don't we just start there? Emmanouilides: Fine. I was born in Philadelphia in 1928, September 11th, <laugh> coincidentally, which has become a very important day in our own history. I was raised in Philadelphia. My parents were immigrants; my father from the Ionian island of Lefkas, which is on the western coast of Greece, and my mother was from Turkey, from an area called Marmara.

For Wk by the U.S. Government Prlnflng Office Superintendent of Document\, MiIIl Stop: SSOP, Wti\hlngton, DC 204)2-932/! ISBN O- 16-04!; 188-4 Foreword nformation networks are changing the way we do business, educate our children, deliver government services, and dispense health care. Information technologies are intruding in our lives in both I positive and negative ways. On the positive side, they provide win- dows to rich information resources throughout the world. They provide instantaneous communication of information that can be shared with all who are connected to the network. As businesses and government be- come more dependent on networked computer information, the more vulnerable we are to having private and confidential information fall into the hands of the unintended or unauthorized person. Thus appropriate institutional and technological safeguards are required for a broad range of personal, copyrighted, sensitive, or proprietary information. Other- wise, concerns for the security and privacy of networked information may limit the usefulness and acceptance of the global information infra- structure. This report was prepared in response to a request by the Senate Com- mittee on Governmental Affairs and the House Subcommittee on Tele- communications and Finance. The report focuses on policy issues in three areas: 1 ) national cryptography policy, including federal informa- tion processing standards and export controls; 2) guidance on safeguard- ing unclassified information in federal agencies; and 3) legal issues and information security, including electronic commerce, privacy, and intel- lectual property.
