The complexity of the tasks performed by computer systems has been expanding rapidly throughout the short history of these machines, but only in recent years has the basic feature of sequential control of operations been seriously violated. The large computing system of the future will have multiple processing capabilities and will be operated in a shared manner in order to obtain the potential efficiencies and expansions of application areas which are possible in such a system. A shared computer system will be heavily dependent on real time interactions with people and other machines. The effectiveness of such expansion in the application areas of shared systems depends upon advances in both hardward and software structures, and upon the feedback between them. In order to solve the language problems of such a system, it is not sufficient to try to find a more convenient language to describe conventional program structures. Brown has indicated the need for a new concept of programming in the environment and has discussed many of the necessary features including the ability to leave sequencing control in the hands of the system.
