ACSI-Matic(ID:2799/acs001)

Associative query language  

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1959
Published: 1959
Genus: COBOL coeval
Sammet category: Business Data Processing

for Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence + MATIC

Hugey influential query language with early associative capabilities, ran on Sylvania 9400 and Telex Mass Memory. Had special features integrating hardware and programming structures to facilitate information location predicting, and advanced sorting primitives (which influenced the COBOL sort verb)

Jack Minker Astro-Electronics Division, RCA "An Intelligence Processing System for the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence"

Information system - esp storage and sort developed by Dr. Burnett H. Sams of RCA, Data Systems Center, Bethesda, Maryland.

Part of the work carried out by Common Programming Language Task of Project ADAR, at the Moore School, University of Pennsylvania by Holt and Turanski
