Burks, Alice R. & Burks, Arthur W.
THE FIRST ELECTRONIC COMPUTER: The Atanasoff Story
Publisher: University of Michigan Press Ann Arbor 1988.
Black cloth hardcover with silver spine lettering, in dust jacket. This is a very clean, sound ex-library book. Dust jacket has a sizeable chip along bottom of front panel, otherwise good. 'The story of the electronic computer that launched the computer revolution, a machine completed in 1942 by John Atanasoff but left behind in Iowa for war research in Washington. Drawing on their direct knowledge and on the proceedings of a multimillion-dollar patent trial, the authors upset the commonly held view that the ENIAC was the world's first electronic comuter. They detail the Atanasoff computer and its influence on the ENIAC...and they supplement the court's strong findings with both a much-needed technical foundation and a narrative rich in human interest.' Fair Hardcover Very Good

'This Memorandum reports on one aspect of a larger RAND study to advance understanding about intelligence and intelligent behavior as a step toward achieving information processing machines which exhibit human-like control and problem-solving abilities. The present study is a tentative inquiry inot those mechanisms and processes of inference-making which appear to underlie intelligent behavior. In addition to those who are concerned with Artificial Intelligence, this Memorandum may be relevant to individuals interested in the exploitation of computer technology for the development of novel information machines.'

Learning Search Control Knowledge An Explanation-Based Approach
Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers Boston 1988.
Near Fine with no dust jacket Hardcover Slight wear. Crisp copy. ; "investigates an explanation-based method for learning from problem-solving experience. The acquisition of control knowledge without the hidden cost of inefficient evaluation (the "utility problem") is the goal of this method. In order to attain efficiency by searching for "good" explanations that can be profitably employed to control problem solving, the learning system must be sensitive to the problem solver's computational architecture and to the potential costs and benefits of adding knowledge." ; The International Series in Engineering and Computer Science; 214 pages

Some Problems of Basic Organization in Problem-Solving Programs /RAND RM-3283-PR 1962

61 pages, softbound, blue titling, Very Good+ overall, light crease along bottom cover edge, corporate stamp on top righthand corner of titlepage, toning to margines & spine, binding is tight, pages clean & unmarked. 'This Memorandum is an interim report on the development of problem-solving computer programs. Several of the organizational problems in constructing a problem-solving program and applying it to actual problems are discussed and analyzed in an effort to detect the sources of the information contained in the program. The study is of interest to programmers & engineers concerned with advanced concepts of machine use and machine organization, and will eventually lead to construction of very sophisticated applied programs, patterned on the game-playing and theorem proving type programs common today. A presentation based on this study was made at the Conference on Self-Organizing Systems, chicago illinois, May 1962, sponsored by the Information Systems Branch of the Office of Naval Research and the Armour Research Foundation of the Illinois Institute of Technology' (from the Preface) Includes the Preface, A Summary, Introduction, Storing Dynamic Structures, Organzing Large Processes, Using the Results of Subgoals -- solution by remote control; solution by communication; solution by interpretaion; solution by understanding; Accessing Inhomogeneous Collections of Data, Preserving Past History, Conclusion, References and bibliography. wikpedia - Linked lists were developed in 1955-56 by Allen Newell, Cliff Shaw and Herbert Simon at RAND Corporation as the primary data structure for their Information Processing Language.
