Abstract:
Brief summaries are given of research activities at a number of centers and laboratories in Western and Eastern Europe. The summaries are primarily the transcribed notes of the author made during a recent trip. The research reported is that primarily classified as cybernetics in the Western sense, i.e., categorized as automata theory, neural modeling, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition. Soviet work excels in areas such as control theory and information theory where strong mathematics is paramount. Research lags where it requires large-scale computers for non-numerical work. The report includes an introductory section which traces the historical progress of the role of cybernetics in the Soviet sense, i.e., broadly as the science of control including problems of mathematical economics and operations research in the Soviet society. Several appendices are included a a listing associating particular scientists and groups with particular subject fields b an annotated listing of some of the major journals which publish papers in cybernetics c a list of references to reviews of aspects of Soviet science and education germane to the topics of the report and d a random selection of Russian papers supplementary to c. The report contains city, name, and subject indices. Author
