The effective operation of free enterprise in creating the envisioned information service industry is dependent upon three accomplishments: (1) the restructuring of our information processing industry so that a clear division of costs is mode among computing, communications, and the development of information services; (2) the wide use of multiaccess system concepts so that information services may share in the use of computer installations and so that the cost of their construction is reasonable; and (3) the development of public, message-switched communications services so that adequate provisions are made for Information security.

The article reports on the fourth symposium of the Association for Computing Machinery, on Operating Systems Principles. For the symposium, over 60 papers were submitted to the program committee in response to a call for papers. From this set, 21 papers were selected for presentation in five formal sessions. Two sessions on the first day of the symposium contained papers describing principles relevant to operating system design and measurement, as well as papers describing complete operating systems. An important focal point of the symposium was the topic of computer security and protection. The banquet speaker, professor Maurice Wilkes of Cambridge University, also emphasized protection. The need to understand the technical aspects of security is particularly urgent in view of the current national attention being given to the social implications of computerized data banks and the rights of citizens. The symposium was co-hosted by the Computer Science Department of Yale University and the Computer Sciences Department of IBM Research Center.

This article presents several research papers related to computing machinery and computer programs. Designing a system for the analytic processing of mathematical functions around a central syntax processor and permitting the user to work within the context of mathematical syntax leads to a flexible system with a broad range of capabilities. One advantage of the approach mentioned in "A Syntax-Directed Approach to Automated Aids for Symbolic Math," by L. Clapp, is that the basic system can be developed without many a prior restrictions on the nature of the mathematical entities to be processed. Once the basic structure has been developed, the user is free to define and operate within his own system of mathematics by modifying or extending the syntax definitions. In the paper "Programming Languages, Logic and Cooperative Games," by L. Hodes, an application of computers is presented which is not restricted to a single problem area but is perhaps not general purpose enough to be considered programming language, even a problem-oriented one.
