Decus Proceedings Spring 1967

This document contains the collected papers and presentations from the Digital Equipment Computer Users' Society (DECUS) Spring 1967 Symposium, held at Rutgers—The State University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on April 14–15, 1967. The symposium focused on "Display Applications" for computer systems.

The proceedings include several technical papers covering various aspects of display technology and applications, including:

• Software and Systems: Discussions on software support for PDP-4/340 and PDP-8/338 display configurations, systems analysis, and enhancements to time-shared operating systems.
• Scientific and Research Applications: Papers on utilizing computer-controlled displays for studying signal detection and pattern recognition, analyzing biological specimens, high-precision CRT scanning for physics experiments, and speech analysis and recognition.
• Programming Languages: Development of experimental graphic programming languages like TracD.
• Industrial Applications: Use of graphic systems for numerically controlled (NC) part programming.

The document also provides an overview of the symposium program, a list of attendees, and an author/speaker index. The papers highlight the ongoing efforts of the 1960s to integrate graphical displays into computer systems to improve research efficiency, data analysis, and user interaction.
