Abstract

There is a growing need for data exchange, particularly the passing of files of data between programs that were produced independently. This will be needed in the development of computer networks and data bases; for example, a head office installation collecting files from various divisions of a corporation to build a data base. Both the development of formal and informal computer networks as well as the economic feasibility of large data bases are favoring the development of arrangements for a considerable volume of data exchange, whether directly over communication systems or by the dispatch of reels of tape and boxes of cards. These are very significant areas of growth that are just beginning to emerge in commercial EDP and are already creating problems within the Federal government.
