Abstract
A number of generalized data base management systems (DBMS) have recently been introduced that are designed to run on minicomputers. Since a DBMS is normally considered to be a very large, complex piece of software, the very existence of these programs represents an impressive accomplishment of software engineering. The purpose of this article is to analyze some implications of this development.

Data base systems for large and small computers
SIGSMALL '82: Proceedings of the 5th ACM SIGSMALL symposium on Small systemsThere is a big difference between the needs of the large computer installation and the small microcomputer user. The collection of data that both use is called a data base, (DB hereafter). It is unfortunate that “data base” is used in a different sense ...

AIEE-IRE '54 (Western): Proceedings of the February 11-12, 1954, western computer conference: Trends in computers: automatic control and data processingWhen I began a week or ten days ago to think seriously about preparing for this talk, I came up with the conclusion that it is probably considerably more difficult now than it was a few years ago for a luncheon speaker to prepare a talk on the ...
