| Sumario: | The western Joint Computer Conference has greatly increased in size since the first meeting held in February of 1953. Membership actually has doubled. In 1955 there were 1,490 registrations as compared with 732 in 1953. The technical programs have always been designed to present material on both analog and digital machines. When possible, field trips to manufacturers and installations have been included in the Conference, as was done in 1955. This year 36 manufacturers exhibited products, as compared with 22 in 1953. These statistics indicate increasing interest on the part of manufacturers, users, and potential users of the type of automatic data processing equipment discussed. The Conference has changed in character from a meeting of small groups of specialists discussing problems of mutual interest to large meetings involving people from many phases of engineering, management, business control. These Proceedings now are becoming of interest to an increasingly wider spectrum of society.
