The May issue features an article on automated management information systems in which it is clearly indicated that the Soviet labor force is feeling the effects of automation. Three articles on forecasting show that prognostics is beginning to take hold in the Soviet Union and that is is being dealt with by some very prestigious scientists. Academician G. Marchuk's article on the centralized management of the computer industry reflects the thinking of Soviet leaders in computing about the USSR's needs, particularly relative to the importance of disc storage units. Hardware discussed includes the Ruta, the Masis, the M-54, and some East German machines. Other articles describe computer-assisted and computer-managed instruction in electrical engineering; automation of a heavy machine plant; conferences on industrial and general psychology and on mathematical methods in geology and hydrogeology; research at Science City and Kiev; and developed of the State Network of Computing Centers.

The issue features an article on small computers and a progress report on the State Network of Computing Centers. Two articles, one popular and one technical, describe the planned Sirena-1 system for airline reservations. The system differs from Western systems in two respects: (1) It does not apply to all of Aeroflot's ticket sales and reservations, but only to the Moscow airport, with some tie-ins to other major airports for return flights to Moscow. (2) It provides automated printing for individual passenger tickets. A description of the computer science curricular and support activities of Moscow State University is provided by an article on the University Computer Center. Other items of interest include (1) a biography of Academician, Engineer-Admiral Aksels I. Berg, on the occasion of his 75th birthday; (2) a critique on how scientists spend their working hours; (3) an article on the Lvov Information Control System (designed by Glushkov for the Lvov TV Factory), which the Ukranian Academy of Sciences has ordered to be generalized for use in a wide range of factories engaged in mass production of a limited variety of products.

The January 1969 SC:RNI, the first issue to appear in the RM series, features an article by Minsk Factory director V. Gol'dberg suggesting that Soviet computer producers be made responsible for the introduction, installation, servicing, and basic software of their products (at present, systems are often shipped unassembled). Another article discusses requirements for high-level compiler languages for engineering problems. Although 60 new journals have been added since 1966 and older ones enlarged, the backlog of unpublished results grows and lead time after submission averages 18 months. Academy natural-science journals will give at least one-fourth of their space to brief communications and annotations of reports that are not printed but deposited for request copying; institutes are urged to give authors editorial help and to distribute reprints. Also included: specifications for process control computers that are not met by present Soviet equipment; a cutaway view of the Soyuz-3 spacecraft; Georgian research on voice recognition; Armenian development of pneumonic (airjet) controls; demographic forecasting in the Ukraine; biographical sketch of radio scientist V.A. Kotel'nikov. The Academy of Sciences has translated into Russian the latest edition of the manual for the Norweigan simulation language, SIMULA. (Author).

This issue features a brochure for the Mir, a small computer for scientific and engineering calculations that accepts alphanumeric and mathematical symbol input via on-line typewriter. A computer logic that can handle natural-language input without a translator is described in an article by Glushkov. A rental bureau for equipment needed only temporarily by scientific and educational institutions is discussed in a short article. Three articles and five short items are concerned with medical cybernetics, particularly space medicine. Reports by four high officials on automation and instrumentation, extracted from Supreme Soviet discussions of the 1969 economic plan, reflect a greater concern this year with automation and instrument construction. This is due to K.N. Rudnev's Ministry of Instrument Construction, Means of Automation, and Control Systems, which is more oriented toward instrumentation and office equipment than toward computers and large systems. Among other items are those on the use of computers in Ukrainian ferrous metallurgy; past and future conferences on industrial psychology, programmed instruction, and automata and artificial intelligence; and scientific organization of labor in Latvia. Articles on hardware include the Polish UMTS-10 computer; a new EDM-450 computer for processing network diagrams without programming; the Moscow automatic traffic control system; and five papertape readers.

The June issue initiates a new title for the former Soviet Cybernetics: Recent News Items. One article gives the first concrete evidence of a new direction in Soviet computers toward third-generation machines that are program-compatible with the IBM System 360; the M-1000, -2000, and -3000 are the first being developed. Other hardware discussed are the Ural-14, Razdan-3, BESM-4, Ruta-110, Minsk-22, -23, and -32 computers and the Robotron-300 high-speed data processing complex. One article concludes that a multimachine operating mode promises more efficiency than does multiprogramming. Several articles stress the importance of fitting computers for national economic planning and automated control systems. An article on modeling artificial intelligence is included.

The October 1969 issue introduces preview synopses of new Soviet books of special interest to Western readers, and adds coverage of the new CPSU Central Committee newspaper. An overview of Soviet information retrieval work in science and technology is given in several articles and book excerpts, which decry the lack of adequate hardware, software, and personnel and the 'intolerable' slowness of the publication process. System analysts, system programmers, and applied mathematicians trained in specialized higher educational institutions are particularly needed. 'Sciometry', a new book on the 'science of science, ' lists the problems encountered by Soviet researchers, including lack of informal participation in international exchanges, delays in receiving foreign journals, the need for a centralized reference source and computerized information services, publication delays, and the two-way language barrier. Translated articles cover the nomination for a State Prize of the manufacturer and designer of the BESM-6; the SNCC; a logic device based on neuronlike structures; a PERT method for troop control; automatic indexing work; and a new document retrieval language.

This issue includes two conference reports on the design program for ASVT modular hardware, and two articles discussing the causes of the time lag in implementing new technology. A summary of the Soviet view of writing programming languages is given in an article announcing the ALGOL 60-based ALPHA language, now used to compile BESM-6 code on the M-20 computer. The Recursive Functions Algorithmic Language (REFAL), used on the BESM-6, is also discussed. Articles on computer hardware include discussions of the (1) UP-1 two-way analog/digital converter using Ural-10 modules; (2) Promin' computer to process experimental data; (3) Kaktus system of computer-monitored instruction; (4) KVN-5 device for automatic vacuum spraying of thin films; (5) ChARS reader for typewritten data; (6) VNIIem-3 control computer for industrial use. A new book on the problem of optimality is of considerable interest (1) because optimality is one of the important problems now being studied by cybernetic methods, and (2) because of the publisher's forward and disclaimer.
