A system called CBIE (Computer Based Information Exchange) is described, whose function is to facilitate communications among groups of people who cannot conveniently meet face-to-face. Each individual, at his own convenience, examines the existing conference records, via a terminal connected to the computer by a telephone line, and adds his own comments. A key feature of CBIE is that the conference record is structured by the users in the form of a network of elements systematically related to one another. The system is designed so that, utilizing a simple set of commands, users can peruse the stored information in an orderly way in accordance with their own interests. Applications include meetings of faculty committees, governmental committees, people engaged in joint research or development projects, and seminars or courses. An initial version of CBIE has been implemented under the RSTS time sharing system running on a PDP 11/50. A general outline of the implementation is presented.
