A Bibliography of Books and Other Publications about the Ada Programming Language and Its History

Cultural heritage management is an inherently retrospective discipline. To the detriment of future heritage management, some heritage places were not recognised and managed even though they had instant global significance after their creation (e.g. sites of the Apollo space programme). The current revolution in robotic technologies, coupled with the developments in artificial intelligence, suggests that the creation of self‐reflective robots capable of semi‐independent thought (processes) is not too far away. This paper explores the conceptual and ethical issues that heritage managers face when dealing with the heritage such robots will create.

On the Cultural Heritage of Robots

The history of crystallographic computing and use of crystallographic software is one which traces the escape from the drudgery of manual human calculations to a world where the user delegates most of the travail to electronic computers. In practice, this involves practising crystallographers communicating their thoughts to the crystallographic program authors, in the hope that new procedures will be implemented within their software. Against this background, the development of small-molecule single-crystal and powder diffraction software is traced. Starting with the analogue machines and the use of Hollerith tabulators of the late 1930's, it is shown that computing developments have been science led, with new technologies being harnessed to solve pressing crystallographic problems. The development of software is also traced, with a final caution that few of the computations now performed daily are really understood by the program users. Unless a sufficient body of people continues to dismantle and re-build programs, the knowledge encoded in the old programs will become as inaccessible as the knowledge of how to build the Great Pyramid at Giza.

Although cultural heritage management is an inherently retrospective discipline, there is a need for strategic forward thinking. Too many valuable heritage places have been lost because they are not recognized and assessed in time. As cultural heritage management begins to examine modern structures and sites, this paper takes strategic thinking in cultural heritage management one step further and addresses the management of artifactual material created by our closest relatives, the great apes. Given the increasing understanding that chimpanzees have cultures and traditions in tool use, there is a need to recognize their heritage value in reference to human evolution.Expanding the concept of nonhuman heritage into the future, it is now also time to explore how to deal with the artifacts that the first artificial intelligence (AI)-imbued, self-reflecting robots will create. By extension, which artifacts will be kept along the way? The contemplation of the role of nonhuman heritage will ultimately foster a reappraisal of human heritage. The article outlines some of the conceptual issues that must be addressed if our heritage is to have an ethical future.*Institute of Land, Water and Society. Email: e-mail dspennemann@csu.edu.au

This article describes the historical restoration of an IBM 1620 Model I computer by a team of volunteers at the Computer History Museum. The technical trajectory of the project is described as are the philosophical and museological issues attendant on the restoration of vintage computers.

Raymond (Ray) Tomlinson was a computer engineer best known for developing the TENEX operating system and implemented the first email program on the Arpanet system in 1971. In its official biography, the Internet Hall of Fame states that "Tomlinson's email program brought about a complete revolution, fundamentally changing the way people communicate." This interview is the first in a two-part Annals series based on an oral history conducted by Marc Weber and Gardner Hendrie for the Computer History Museum (CHM) in June 2009.

Dame Stephanie (Steve) Shirley is one of Britains most celebrated IT pioneers, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists. In 1962, she founded a contract programming company exclusively for women, seeing untapped potential in the large numbers of educated women who had left work in order to raise children at home. Shirleys company grew rapidly and had a successful IPO in 1996. Since retiring, Shirley has spent her time supporting various IT-related causes and, most recently, organizations researching and providing services to those with autism. This edited interview is based on an oral history conducted by Marie Hicks, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, on behalf of the Computer History Museum. The original transcript may be accessed here: www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102738707.

Fernando Corbato is best known for his work developing time-sharing operating systems. Early in his career, Corbato had a key role in the development of both the Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS) and Multics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1960s. In 1990, Corbato received the Turing Award "for his pioneering work in organizing the concepts and leading the development of the general-purpose, large-scale, time-sharing and resource-sharing computer systems," and he was made a fellow of the Computer History Museum (CHM) in 2012. This interview is the first in a two-part Annals series based on an oral history conducted by Steven Webber for the CHM in February 2006.

Fernando Corbató: Time-Sharing Pioneer, Part 1

Resting on what is sometimes a slender foundation, present-day feminists seeking to reclaim the voices of women written out of history have heralded the computer visionary Ada Lovelace as something of a mythic heroine. Alternatively, several scholars see her role as a minor walk-on part in a much larger drama. In this lushly filmed documentary, the real Ada—somewhere between heroine and dilettante—emerges as an intelligent , sensitive, and extremely well-connected woman moving within the highest levels of Victorian society. As part of Flare Productions' Women of Power documentary series—which also includes films on Ruth Berlau, Virginia Woolf, and Hildegard of Bingen—this presentation of the case for Ada Byron Lovelace's prefig-uring the Computer Age remained evanescent. Mostly, this is because grasping what Ada understood—without the ever-present trap of Whiggish history in which past events are reinterpreted as the ratification of the pres-ent—is notoriously difficult. But let us be generous: hers was an important correspondence (and thus record) of contemporary achievements in calculation and of Charles Babbage's trials (much of his own making) in bringing such concepts to fruition. I left the film, pre-miered at Stanford University by the Computer History Museum as part of its ongoing lecture series in the history of computing, with great sympathy and a better understanding of the nuances of the Babbage–Lovelace relationship, even if undecided about her ultimate role. This excellent biography of John Bardeen—a close friend of mine for nearly 60 years since graduate student days—by Hoddeson and Daitch makes it clear that Bardeen was a remarkable individual, Nobel Prizes aside. He possessed, at an elevated level, several important attributes that are linked to his professional successes as a scientist and engineer. At the top was his love of mathematics, particularly its applications to specific engineering or scientific problems. This interest guided him in his initial decision to focus his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering and to spend the following three years at the Gulf Oil Corporation's Research Laboratories in Pittsburgh. It also influenced his eventual decision to extend his education further and seek a doctorate in physics at Princeton University, entering in 1933 as somewhat of a latecomer. His use of mathematics was not highly refined, as is the case for the professional mathematicians who are interested in the most abstract problems in the field. His approach was based on using mathematics as a tool for solving specific technical or scientific problems, usually closely …
