- Chaos
was one of the leading computer chess programs from 1973 through 1985.
Written in FORTRAN, Chaos started at RCA Systems Programming division in
Cinnaminson, NJ with Fred Swartz and Victor Berman as first authors,
Mike Alexander and others joined the team later and moved development to
MTS at the University of Michigan Computing Center

- Describes the complicated interplay of academic, commercial,
government, and military interests that produced a burst of scientific
discovery and technological innovation in 1940s and 1950s America.
Compares the academic computing centers at MIT and the University of
Michigan in the 1950s and 1960s, tracing the tensions on those campuses
over whether computers were a service facility, a commercial technology,
or a subject of research. Includes history of the development of the
CTSS, Multics, and MTS time-sharing systems. Atsushi Akera is an
Assistant Professor in the Department of Science and Technology Studies
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).
