Standardization of computer intercommunication
Herbert R. J. Grosch · 1955
I am going to start today by taking a little different approach to the problem of standardization. Mr. Matlack and members of the panel are concerned primarily with the specific problem of standard media, but I would like to speak, at least for a few minutes, about the philosophy of standardization in general rather than about our particular problem. What is standardization? What are the permissive functions of the American Standards Association? What, indeed, does a printed standard of the ASA do for its sponsors and for newcomers in the technical field?
