Abstract

Remote computing has been around as long as computers themselves. More recently, interest has revived in providing remote users with convenient, economical access to a large central computer. Considerable attention has been addressed to its economics and practicality. Several batch-oriented systems have been implemented. The techniques of time-sharing a large or small system have been described, as have the attendant advantages of man-machine interaction for symbolic mathematics and program testing. Several input-output devices have been considered, including typewriters, displays, and dial-voice equipment.
