Abstract

A hierarchy of information accessibility exists in every system. Even simple calculators employ a two-level hierarchy consisting of internal registers and external key-entered data. In a typical computer system we find a multilevel hierarchy extending from working registers through random-access main-memory, to direct access devices, to sequential access devices, and on outward to off-line archives.
