The article presents information on the 68/Spring Joint Computer Conference (SJCC), to be held in Atlantic city, New Jersey, during April 30-May 2, 1968. The conference is organized by the American Federation of Information Processing Societies. SJCC68's technical program explores the incisive penetration of virtually every business and scientific area by computers by presenting many applications-oriented sessions where computers are emphasized as elements of broader systems. Moreover, the conference committee has chosen SJCC68 to complement the traditional interdisciplinary focus of previous joint computer conference activity by placing emphasis on the growing interrelation of computer and communications. Dr. Albert S. Hoagland, conference chairman, said that the objective is to promote constructive dialogue on the issues (technological, philosophical, and legalistic) involved in the merging interdependence of these fields in terms of their long range developmental perspectives. Professor Ted Bashkow, technical program chairman, advises that the technical program committee has scheduled 21 sessions, of which one third are panels, to present an expansive view of the computer field. He emphasizes that the program stresses, wherever possible, the function of the computer as an integral part of a larger system.
