Continuous computer operational reliability
Pages 207 - 211
Abstract
In the near future the homes, families, and lives of every individual in the United States will be protected against an aggressor attack by gigantic integrated radar defense networks. The heart of these networks will be large computer systems. With the probable use of ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles) and long-range strategic bombers as aggressive weapons, a criterion for defense against surprise attacks is an early-warning capability which must operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The consideration of methods to give maximum reliability in the operation of a computer system that must function continuously is of national importance.
