Abstract

Currently, essentially all automated information processing is based on the “glorified adding machine” paradigm spelled out by John von Neumann in his 1945 consultant’s report to the project that developed the first usable electronic digital computer: ENIAC. In this approach, the user defines the problem to be solved and then develops an algorithmic procedure for solving it. This algorithm is then expressed in a software language (e.g., FORTRAN, Ada, C, Pascal, etc.) and run on a computer.
