The invention of the universal electronic computer—how the Electronic Computer Revolution began
Future Generation Computer Systems, 2002This is the story of the causal sequence of the three programmable digital electronic computers that launched the Electronic Computer Revolution: the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer); the EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Computer); and the Von Neumann, or IAS (Institute for Advanced Study), Computer.

Physics Today, 1987
Until recently most Europeans interested in computing would have claimed that the first electronic computer was the Colossus, designed and constructed in Bletchley, England, by the mathematician Alan Turing and his colleagues, operational in December 1943 and used to decipher the German Enigma code, with a decisive effect on the course of World War II.

Advent of Electronic Digital Computing
IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, 1984The author touches on the nebulous beginnings of his interest in computing, and how, when specific problems arose, the computers of the day were used and analyzed. The first choice he made was between analog and digital computers. After study, digital computers seemed better for most purposes, but no computer in existence met his requirements.

Electronic Computing Circuits Of The ENIAC
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1947The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), the first electronic computing machine to be built, is a very large device (containing 18000 vacuum tubes) compounded out of a few basic types of computing circuits. The design principles that were followed in order to insure reliable operation of the electronic computer are presented, and the ...

Computers, Electronics and the Future
1983It is clear that the future of electronics, or at least a large part of its future, will be involved with computers. Just as the IC has in many cases replaced complicated circuits using discrete components, so it seems likely that the microprocessor and its offspring will replace whole systems.

Computing with Electronic Nanotechnologies
2003Computing with electronic nanotechnologies is emerging as a real possibility. In this talk we explore the role theoretical computer scientists might play in understanding such technologies and give examples of completed research. We consider two representative problems, whether nanowire (NW) address decoders can be self-assembled reliably and ...

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1989
Electronics and computing are among the fastest-moving areas of science and engineering. The universities have played and will continue to play a major role in advancing the state of the art. Nowhere is it more important to be at the cutting edge of technology from the point of view of defense, and nowhere is academic research more rewarding.

Abstract This chapter traces the history of the first generation of electronic computers defined as those that used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes in the US) as logic elements. It describes the development of experimental one-of-a-kind machines at universities and by governments that led to computers as commercial products in the early ...
