The Conference on Holography and the Computer

Holography and modern digital computing technology represent two apparently unrelated aspects of information processing, both of which have matured rapidly in the last five years. Over the past few years, however, interactions between the two fields have become more apparent. To take note of these interactions, a Conference on Holography and the Computer was held in Houston, Texas, December 10–12, 1969, under the auspices of the Gulf Coast Section of the Optical Society of America and the IBM Corporation. The bulk of this issue of the IBM Journal of Research and Development is devoted to selected papers presented at that Conference.
