Abstract:

The special issue is devoted to programming and programming languages. A revolution comparable to the FORTRAN II era in U. S. computing has been taking place in Soviet software, particularly in the development of algorithmic languages and translators. While ALGOL remains the basis of Soviet programming languages, interest is growing in FORTRAN, COBOL, and SIMSCRIPT, and local languages have been developed. New directions in Soviet computing are evidenced by trends toward large machines and third-generation ASVT computers that are compatible with the IBM Series360 integration of hardware and system design and new concern with man-machine interaction. Manifesting this heightened interest, the First All-Union Conference on Programming was held in November 1968. The issue contains abstracts of the papers presented and a full translation of a report on the use of automata theory in resolving problems in the man-machine interface. Author
