[këm'pju:të:] n 1. makinë llogaritëse; kompjuter, ordinator. 2. llogaritës, njehsues (person)- Kompjuteri është pajisje elektronike shumë e ndërlikuar që shërben për regjistrimin, transmetimin dhe përpunimin e informatave që mund të manifestohen si llogaritje, udhëheqje të proceseve, përpunim i tekstit, të dhënave të ndryshme si dhe për përdorime më të përgjithëshme. Kompjuteri, marrë në kuptimin e gjerë, përbëhet prej dy komponentëve të quajtura: harduer ( hardware - pjesë fizike e tij) dhe softuer ( software - programet dhe udhëzimet për punë). Me fjalë tjera, softueri është pjesa programore e hardueri pjesa mekanika e kompjuterit.● Hardueri përmban komponentet fizike të kompjuterit siç janë: tastiera ( Keyboard), monitori, shtypësi ( Printer), miu ( Mouse), disku i ngurtë ( Hard Disk), njësia e diskut, disketa ( Floppy Disk), njësia e disketës, CD-ROM-i ( CD ROM), njësia e CD-ROM-it, vizatuesi, modemi, lexuesi ( Scanner), kamera digjitale etj.● Softueri përmbanë programet dhe të dhënat të cilat e udhëzojnë kompjuterin në punën e tij, literatura, dokumentacioni dhe udhëzimet në lidhje me kompjuterin. Hardueri mund të krahasohet me gramafonin e disqet, ndërsa softueri me muzikën e inçizuar në disqe.)Zhvillimi historik i kompjuterit- Njeriu gjithmon ka tentuar të zgjidhë edhe problemet monotone, të vështira dhe të papërshtatshme. Gjatë zgjidhjeve të këtyre problemeve ka hasur në punë të vështira fizike, prandaj, çdo here ka tentuar që të liroj veten nga këta punë duke menduar makina të lloj-llojshme. Një makinë e këtyllë për lehtësimin e llogaritjeve aritmetike është makina e quajtur Abacus për të cilën dihet se është në përdorim prej para 5000 vjetëve. Kjo makinë i ngjanë numratores së sotme të cilën e përdorin nxënësit në klasë të pare dhe njihet si zanafilla e kompjuterëve të sotëm. Prej kohës së zbulimit të Abacusit e deri në shekullin 17 historia e zhvillimit të kompjuterëve nuk posedon të dhëna për ndonjë lëvizje në rrugën e zhvillimit të kompjuterëve.- Gjatë shekullit 17, respektivisht në vitin 1614 matematikani skocez J. Napier zbulon logaritmet dhe në vtin 1622 W. Oughtred ndërton kompjuterin (makinën) logaritmik cirkular për llogaritjen e logaritmeve.- Në vitin 1649 Blaise Pascal ndërton makinën mekanike për kryerjen e operacioneve aritmetike. Makina e Pascalit është e ndërtuar prej disa dhëmbëzorëve të cilët në lëvizje vendohen mekanikisht (me dorë). Ideja e konstruktimit të një makine-kalkulatori (kalkulator quhet makina e cila kryen operacionet aritmetike) ka qenë lehtësimi i punës së të atit të tij i cili ka qenë puntor i tatimeve (mbledhës i tatimeve) dhe ka patur nevojë për shumë llogaritje.- Në vitin 1672 G.W. Laibniz në Pariz projekton kalkulatorin mekanik më të përsosur nga dy të parët i cili me sukse do t'i kryej katër operacionet elementare aritmetike. Kufizimi në realizimin konkret të këtij kalkulatori ka qenë teknologjia e dobët e asaj kohe prandaj ky projekt ka ngelur i pa realizuar. Është interesant të përmendet se Laibnitz ka qenë pioneri i parë në hulumtimin e sistemit binar i cili përdoret në ndërtimin e kompjuterëve të sotëm. Gjatë 150viteve në vazhdim të gjithë tentimet për zhvillimin e kalkulatorëve kanë qenë të inspiruar nga kalkulatori i Laibnitzit.- Në vitin 1822 Anglezi Charles Babbage paraqet projekt të një kalkulatori krejtësisht të ndryshëm i dedikuar për llogaritjen e tabelave për funksione të caktuara. Projekti i këtillë do të finansoheshe nga qeveria Angleze e asaj kohe dhe do të përdoreshe për llogaritjen e tabelave për navigacionin detar. Për shkak të kompleksitetit dhe kushteve financiare e teknologjike ky projekt nuk u krye, në vitin 1842 definitivisht projekti u ndërpre. Makinën e këtillë Babbage e quajti makina diferenciale. Projektin e makinës diferenciale me sukse e realizuan Suedezët në vitin 1854 nën udhëheqen e P. G. Scheutza (duke i zbatuar sqarimet dhe vërejtjet e dhëna nga Babbage në 7000 faqe të shkruara) dhe makina e fituar nën pogon mekanik me sukse i llogariti tabelat (për 80 orë ka logarit 10000 logaritme).- Në vitin 1835 Babbage erdhi në idenë e konstruktimit të një makine programabile me funksionet që i kanë kompjuterët e tanishëm (me njësinë aritmetike-logjike, memorjen, etj.). Makinën e këtillë e quajti makina analitike. Për shkak të krizave finaciare dhe të vështirësive teknologjike kjo makinë ngeli vetëm në fazën e projektimit në letër por dha një inpuls të fuqishëm në zhvillimin e kompjuterëve të mëtutjeshëm.- Koha moderne fillon me përdorimin e energjisë elektrike në makinat për llogaritje. Në vitin 1884 emigranti gjerman në Amerikë Herman Holerith patenton makinën e pare elektrike e cila do të mund të rendit (sortoj) kartelat e shpuara me të dhënat për banorët e Amerikës. Makina e Holerithit në lëvizje vendoheshte me ndihmën e baterive. Qëllimi i kësaj makine ishte renditja e kartelave me të dhënat e banorëve të Amerikës të regjistruar në vitin 1890. Holerithi ishte inzhenier dhe punonte në institutin e statistikës, problem në atë kohë ishte përpunimi statistikor i të dhënave. Kështu regjistrimi statistikor në teren zgjatë disa muaj ndërsa përpunimi zgjate disa vjetë por bile edhe dhjetra vjetë dhe kur të dhënat përpunoheshin rezultatet e fituara ishin të vjetëruara (sepse regjistrimi statistikor zakonisht bëhet çdo 10 vjetë). Qeveria e asaj kohe shpall konkurs për përpunimin automatik të të dhënave me qëllim të përshpejtimit të përpunimit. Holerithi pasi punonte në institutin ku bëheshte përpunimi i të dhënave të këtylla, e njihte problemin dhe për këtë qëllim patentoi makinën e tij. Kështu me ndihmën e 56 makinave të Holerithit u aritë që të dhënat statistikore për popullsinë e Amerikës të përpunohen vetëm për gjashtë javë (në atë regjistrim Amerika doli me 62 622 250 banorë).- Pas këtij suksesi Holerithi themeloi kompaninë për prodhimin dhe huazimin e këtyre makinave (makina quheshe Tabulating Machine) me emrin Tabulating Machine Company e cila në vitin 1924 u bashkua me disa kompani të tjera dhe ndëroi emrin në IBM (International Business Machines), e njohur edhe sot.- Në vitin 1936 gjermani K. Zuse në Berlin arrinë të konstruktoj kalkulatorin programabil i cili do të mund të zgjidhë barazimet lineare. Zuse ariti të konstruktoj makinën e pare e cila shfrytëzonte sistemin binar, këtë makinë e konstriktoi në katër modele të njëpasnjëshëm Z1, Z2, Z3 dhe Z4, por modeli Z4 ngeli vetëm si ide interesante.- Me fillimin e luftës së dytë botërore interesimi për makina llogaritëse (kompjuterë) u zvoglua dhe gjithnjë mendohej në përmirësimin e armatimit. Mirëpo për prodhimin e armëve të reja artilerike nevoitej një hulumtin më i thellë dhe llogaritje të vështira, për hulumtime dhe llogaritje të thella nevoiteshe kohë e cila mungonte. Në vitin 1942 Fakulteti Moore School of Electrical Engineering nga Universiteti i Pensilvanisë bashkë me institutin Ballistic Research Laboratory nga armata Amerikane filloi hulumtimet për një makinë-kompjuter i cili do t'u lehtësonte punën puntorëve në industrinë ushtarake për prodhimin e armatimit artilerik respektivisht do të llogaritë tabelat balistike. Projekti deri në 1943 ishte në fshehtësi. Në vitin 1943 filloi ndërtimin nën udhëheqjen e udhëheqësve të projektit John W. Mauchly dhe J. Presper Eckert. Kompjuteri i menduar u quajt ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) dhe në përdorim u lëshua më 15 Shkurt 1946. Kompjuteri ENIAC meret si kompjuteri i parë i formës dhe me funksionet e kompjuterëve të sotëm. Me konstruktimin e ENIAC-ut fillon edhe gjenerata e parë e zhvillimit të kompjuterëve. Vlenë të përmendet se idenë për ndërtimin e kompjuterit të këtillë (në vitin 1930) e dha matematicienti John V. Atanasoff i cili në atë kohë punonte me kompjuterët analog për zgjidhjen e barazimeve lineare në lëminë e kërkimeve operacionale si dhe matematikani i shekullit 20 John von Neuman i cili ariti që teoretikisht ta përpunojë idenë dhe të bëjë sistematizimin e idesë.- Kompjuteri ENIAC përmbante afër 18000 llëmba elektronike, peshonte afër 30 tonë, zënte sipërfaqe prej 150 m2.- Kompjuterët e prodhuar prej vitit 1946 deri 1953 (kompjuterët EDVAC, ILLIAC, MANIAC etj.), njihen si gjenerata e parë dhe karakterizohen me llëmbat elektronike.- Me zbulimin e tranzistorit fillon gjenerata e dytë, kjo gjenerat zgjat prej vitit 1953 deri 1964. Tek kompjuterët e gjeneratës së dytë fillon zbatimi i gjuhëve të larta programore (Fortran-i paraqitet në vitin 1957, Algol në vitin 1961, etj.)- Gjenerata e tretë e kompjuterëve fillon në vitin 1964 dhe vazhdon deri në vitin 1971, kompjuterat e konstruktuar në këtë periudhë karakterisohen me qarqet e integruara-çipat.- Gjenerata e katër e kompjuterëve fillon në vitin 1971, kompjuterët e kësaj gjenerate karakterizohen me qarqet integrale të dendësisë së madhe LSI dhe VLSI (V-very). Gjenerata e katër e kompjuterëve ende është e hapur, PC kompjuterët e sotëm i takojnë gjeneratës së katër.- Për dallim nga katër gjeneratat e para kompjuterët e të cilave bëjnë përpunimin e të dhënave, kompjuterët e gjeneratës pestë e cila fillon në vitin 1981 bëjnë përpunimin e njohurive. Në këtë gjeneratë bien makinat e quajtura Robot.- Kompjuterët e gjeneratës së gjashtë (njëherit gjenerata e fundit e kompjuterëve) e cila fillon në vitin 1986 merren me përpunimin e inteligjencës. Kompjuterët e kësaj gjenerate quhen Neurocomputers (Kompjuterët neural, Kompjuterët biologjik) të cilët në punën e tyre tentojnë të imitojnë trurin dhe sistemin nervorë të njeriut. Këta kompjuterë në fillim të jetës mësojnë (me metoda speciale eksperimentale) dhe pastaj janë në gjendje të veprojnë pa prezencën dhe ndikimin e njeriut.PJESA PROGRAMORE E KOMPJUTERIT-SOFTUERISistemi operativ- Programet, asemblerët dhe kompajlerët ekzekutohen në kompjuter, në praninë e një mjedisi të caktuar programues. Këtë mjedis programues e përcakton sistemi operativ. Sistemi operativ është një grumbull i programeve i cili manipulon me resurset dhe shërbimet e sistemit kompjuterik (harduerit), siç janë memoria qëndrore, njësitë hyrëse-dalëse, etj. Pra sistemi operativ e komandon (manipulon) me hardverin e sistemit kompjuterik. Programi, në mënyrë implicite apo eksplicite, vetëm përmes direktivave të sistemit operativ mund t'i shfrytëzojë resurset dhe shërbimet e sistemit kompjuterik. Pra programi e urdhëron apo kërkon nga sistemi operativ shfrytëzimin e resurseve kompjuterike.- Nga kjo që u tha më sipër shihet se programet të cilat i shkruajmë (programeve aplikative) në gjuhët larta programuese, nuk e komandojnë harduerin, por i dërgojnë komanda sistemit operativ, i cili më pastaj manipulon me harduer për të arritur te rezultatet e dëshiruara. Kjo do të thotë se sistemi operativ është një lloj ndërmjetësuesi (interfejs) në mes të programeve aplikative dhe harduerit kompjuterik.- Roli kryesor i sistemit operativ është të shërbej si ndërmjetësues në mes të shfrytëzuesit dhe hardverit kompjuterik, dhe në mes të programeve aplikative dhe hardverit kompjuterik.- Ekzistojnë sisteme të ndryshme operative, mirëpo më të njohurat në PC janë MS-DOS dhe MS WINDOWS 95.- MS-DOS ( MicroSoft Disk Operating System), që do të thotë sistemi operativ i diskut i majkrosoftit. Nga këndi i vështrimit të programerit MS-DOS është sistem operativ hierarkial, që përmbanë tri nivele (shtresa), të cilat e ndajnë shfrytëzuesin dhe programet aplikative prej hardverit kompjuterik. Këto shtresa janë BIOS ( Basic Input-Output System që do të thotë sistemi themelor për hyrje-dalje), kerneli i DOS-it, dhe interpretuesi i komandave. Shtresa më e ulët është BIOS-i. BIOS-i kryesisht manipulon me këto njësi hardverike:● Konzolla (tastatiera dhe ekrani);● Printed i përgjithshëm;● Portet serike;● Orën e taktit të kompjuterit;● Diskun startues.- Kerneli i DOS-it, përveq tjerash, ofron shërbimet për:● Manipulimin e folderëve dhe fajllave;● Manipulimin e memories qëndrore;● Kohën dhe datën;● Menagjmentin e programeve aplikative.- Interpretuesi i komandave ka për detyrë që të ekzekutojë komandat të cilat ia jep shfrytëzuesi, duke kyçur edhe leximin dhe ekzekutimin e programeve aplikative.- Edhe pse Windows është paraqitur në mes të viteve 1980, nuk pati ndonjë sukses të madh në treg. Mirëpo me lansimin e verzionit Windows 3.0 më 1990, e sidomos me Windows 3.1 një vit më vonë e gjithë kjo ndryshoi, dhe tani Windows është produkt softverik i dyti më i shituri i të gjitha kohrave, pas MS DOS-it (e sidomos me lajmërimin e Windows 95/98).Windows punon se bashku me DOS-in por sillet si sistem operativ në vehte. Duke i shtuar nivel softverik mbi DOS, Windows-i i shton zgjerime grafike DOS-it.- Popullariteti i Windows-it i ka shtyer shumë programerë dhe shtëpi softverike botuese që të zhvillojnë aplikacione të cilat janë vetëm për Windows. Të gjitha këto aplikacione kanë një pamje të përgjithshme të ngjashme. Nëse dini të drejtoni një strukturë të menysë në një aplikacion të Windows-it atëherë dini të bëni të njejtën gjë edhe në aplikacionet tjera.- Përparësitë kryesore të Windows-it janë:● Platformë multitasking, në të cilën shumë aplikacione mund të ekzekutohen në të njejtën kohë.● Pamje gjenerale e ngjashme e të gjitha aplikacioneve të shkruara për Windows.● Mjedis grafik, i cili manipulohet me ndihmën e miut (apo tastierës).● Mundësia e shkëmbimit të informatave - duke përfshirë fotografi, dokumente, etj. ndërmjet aplikacioneve të ndryshme.● Një numër të veglave ndihmëse, duke përfshirë editor të tekstit, program per vizatim, kalkulator, program komunikues për modem, etj. computer dating [këm'pju:të:deiting] n. takim (dy personash) me ndihmën e sistemit informatik telefonik computerese [këmpju:të'ri:z] n. gj.fol. zhargon i / gjuhë e informatikës● computer game [këm'pju:të:geim] n. lojë elektronike, lojë me kompjuter● computer aided design, computer assisted design [këm'pju:të: eidid di'zain/ ë'sistid] n. vizatim teknik me kompjuter● computerist [këm'pju:tërist] n. amer. informatikan● computerization [këmpju:tërai'zeishën] n 1. trajtim elektronik, kompjuterizim; automatizim. 2. hedhje (të dhënash etj) në kompjuter● computerize [këm'pju:tëraiz] vt 1. informatizoj, kompjuterizoj; përpunoj në kompjuter. 2. hedh në kompjuter● computer language [këm'pju:'længwixh] n. gjuhë programimi● computer literate [këm'pju:'litërit] adj. që ka njohuri në informatikë, që njeh kompjuterin● computer operator [këm'pju:'opëreitë:(r)] n. kompjuterist, person që punon në/me kompjuter● computer programmer [këm'pju:'prëugræmë:(r)] n. kmp. programist● computer science [këm'pju:'saiëns]n. informatikë● computer studies [këm'pju:'stadis] n. informatikë* * *kompjuter -

6 Goldstine, Herman H.
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 13 September 1913 USA[br]American mathematician largely responsible for the development of ENIAC, an early electronic computer.[br]Goldstine studied mathematics at the University of Chicago, Illinois, gaining his PhD in 1936. After teaching mathematics there, he moved to a similar position at the University of Michigan in 1939, becoming an assistant professor. After the USA entered the Second World War, in 1942 he joined the army as a lieutenant in the Ballistic Missile Research Laboratory at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. He was then assigned to the Moore School of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was involved with Arthur Burks in building the valve-based Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) to compute ballistic tables. The machine was completed in 1946, but prior to this Goldstine had met John von Neumann of the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) at Princeton, New Jersey, and active collaboration between them had already begun. After the war he joined von Neumann as Assistant Director of the Computer Project at the Institute of Advanced Studies, Princeton, becoming its Director in 1954. There he developed the idea of computer-flow diagrams and, with von Neumann, built the first computer to use a magnetic drum for data storage. In 1958 he joined IBM as Director of the Mathematical Sciences Department, becoming Director of Development at the IBM Data Processing Headquarters in 1965. Two years later he became a Research Consultant, and in 1969 he became an IBM Research Fellow.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsGoldstine's many awards include three honorary degrees for his contributions to the development of computers.Bibliography1946, with A.Goldstine, "The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC)", Mathematical Tables and Other Aids to Computation 2:97 (describes the work on ENIAC).1946, with A.W.Burks and J.von Neumann, "Preliminary discussions of the logical design of an electronic computing instrument", Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies.1972, The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann, Princeton University Press.1977, "A brief history of the computer", Proceedings of the American Physical Society 121:339.Further ReadingM.Campbell-Kelly \& M.R.Williams (eds), 1985, The Moore School Lectures (1946), Charles Babbage Institute Report Series for the History of Computing, Vol 9.

9 Wilkes, Maurice Vincent
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 26 June 1913 Stourbridge, Worcestershire, England[br]English physicist who was jointly responsible for the construction of the EDS AC computer.[br]Educated at King Edward VI Grammar School, Stourbridge, where he began to make radio sets and read Wireless World, Wilkes went to St John's College, Cambridge, in 1931, graduating as a Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos in 1934. He then carried out research at the Cavendish Laboratory, becoming a demonstrator in 1937. During the Second World War he worked on radar, differential analysers and operational research at the Bawdsey Research Station and other air-defence establishments. In 1945 he returned to Cambridge as a lecturer and as Acting Director of the Mathematical (later Computer) Laboratory, serving as Director from 1946 to 1970.During the late 1940s, following visits to the USA for computer courses and to see the ENIAC computer, with the collaboration of colleagues he constructed the Cambridge University digital computer EDSAC (for Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer), using ultrasonic delay lines for data storage.

10 Strachey, Christopher
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 16 November 1916 Englandd. 18 May 1975 Oxford, England[br]English physicist and computer engineer who proposed time-sharing as a more efficient means of using a mainframe computer.[br]After education at Gresham's School, London, Strachey went to King's College, Cambridge, where he completed an MA. In 1937 he took up a post as a physicist at the Standard Telephone and Cable Company, then during the Second World War he was involved in radar research. In 1944 he became an assistant master at St Edmunds School, Canterbury, moving to Harrow School in 1948. Another change of career in 1951 saw him working as a Technical Officer with the National Research and Development Corporation, where he was involved in computer software and hardware design. From 1958 until 1962 he was an independent consultant in computer design, and during this time (1959) he realized that as mainframe computers were by then much faster than their human operators, their efficiency could be significantly increased by "time-sharing" the tasks of several operators in rapid succession. Strachey made many contributions to computer technology, being variously involved in the design of the Manchester University MkI, Elliot and Ferranti Pegasus computers. In 1962 he joined Cambridge University Mathematics Laboratory as a senior research fellow at Churchill College and helped to develop the programming language CPL. After a brief period as Visiting Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he returned to the UK in 1966 as Reader in Computation and Fellow of Wolfeon College, Oxford, to establish a programming research group. He remained there until his death.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsDistinguished Fellow of the British Computer Society 1972.Bibliography1961, with M.R.Wilkes, "Some proposals for improving the efficiency of Algol 60", Communications of the ACM 4:488.1966, "Systems analysis and programming", Scientific American 25:112. 1976, with R.E.Milne, A Theory of Programming Language Semantics.Further ReadingJ.Alton, 1980, Catalogue of the Papers of C.

11 Williams, Sir Frederic Calland
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 26 June 1911 Stockport, Cheshire, Englandd. 11 August 1977 Prestbury, Cheshire, England[br]English electrical engineer who invented the Williams storage cathode ray tube, which was extensively used worldwide as a data memory in the first digital computers.[br]Following education at Stockport Grammar School, Williams entered Manchester University in 1929, gaining his BSc in 1932 and MSc in 1933. After a short time as a college apprentice with Metropolitan Vickers, he went to Magdalen College, Oxford, to study for a DPhil, which he was awarded in 1936. He returned to Manchester University that year as an assistant lecturer, gaining his DSc in 1939. Following the outbreak of the Second World War he worked for the Scientific Civil Service, initially at the Bawdsey Research Station and then at the Telecommunications Research Establishment at Malvern, Worcestershire. There he was involved in research on non-incandescent amplifiers and diode rectifiers and the development of the first practical radar system capable of identifying friendly aircraft. Later in the war, he devised an automatic radar system suitable for use by fighter aircraft.After the war he resumed his academic career at Manchester, becoming Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the University Electrotechnical Laboratory in 1946. In the same year he succeeded in developing a data-memory device based on the cathode ray tube, in which the information was stored and read by electron-beam scanning of a charge-retaining target. The Williams storage tube, as it became known, not only found obvious later use as a means of storing single-frame, still television images but proved to be a vital component of the pioneering Manchester University MkI digital computer. Because it enabled both data and program instructions to be stored in the computer, it was soon used worldwide in the development of the early stored-program computers.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnighted 1976.

12 Forrester, Jay Wright
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 14 July 1918 Anselmo, Nebraska, USA[br]American electrical engineer and management expert who invented the magnetic-core random access memory used in most early digital computers.[br]Born on a cattle ranch, Forrester obtained a BSc in electrical engineering at the University of Nebraska in 1939 and his MSc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he remained to teach and carry out research. Becoming interested in computing, he established the Digital Computer Laboratory at MIT in 1945 and became involved in the construction of Whirlwind I, an early general-purpose computer completed in March 1951 and used for flight-simulation by the US Army Air Force. Finding the linear memories then available for storing data a major limiting factor in the speed at which computers were able to operate, he developed a three-dimensional store based on the binary switching of the state of small magnetic cores that could be addressed and switched by a matrix of wires carrying pulses of current. The machine used parallel synchronous fixed-point computing, with fifteen binary digits and a plus sign, i.e. 16 bits in all, and contained 5,000 vacuum tubes, eleven semiconductors and a 2 MHz clock for the arithmetic logic unit. It occupied a two-storey building and consumed 150kW of electricity. From his experience with the development and use of computers, he came to realize their great potential for the simulation and modelling of real situations and hence for the solution of a variety of management problems, using data communications and the technique now known as interactive graphics. His later career was therefore in this field, first at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts (1951) and subsequently (from 1956) as Professor at the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsNational Academy of Engineering 1967.

13 artificial intelligence
Gen Mgta branch of computer science concerned with the development of computer systems capable of performing functions that normally require human intelligence, for example, reasoning, problem solving, learning from experience, and speech recognition. Artificial intelligence research combines elements of computer science and cognitive psychology. It is a controversial field because of the difficulty of defining its goals and disagreement over whether these goals are attainable. Much research has been done since World War II, beginning with the theoretical work of Alan Turing during the 1940s. The term became known with the publication in 1961 of the paper Steps Toward Artificial Intelligence by Marvin Minsky, cofounder with John McCarthy of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Branches of artificial intelligence with applications in business and management include expert systems and robotics. -
