Abstract

There is a growing need for integrative concepts that can assist in organizing and making information responsive to the data demands of individuals in the contemporary industrial setting. Recent investigations and technological advances offer encouragement that this requirement can be met. One such response may well embrace both cybernetics and systems rationale. The essential tool that will be used in the translation of this approach to practical communicative and control techniques is the electronic computer.
