    The A.A.E.C. computer network
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1970-11) Richardson, DJ
    The central computing system at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission's Research Establishment is currently based on an IBM360 model 50 computer. Twelve smaller digital computers and one analogue computer are in use at various points within a half mile radius of the central computer installation. This paper describes plans to link a number of these computers into a network connected to the central computer, and outlines the philosophy behind the setting up of this network.

    An archival and automatic retrieval system for IBM360 disk data sets
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1978-10) Cox, GW; Richardson, DJ
    A system is described which allows infrequently used disk data sets to be archived on magnetic tape and restored to disk automatically when required. The system currently operates on an IBM360 computer under Release 21.7 of operating system MVT.

    Computer to computer communication at the research establishment
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1972-01) Richardson, DJ
    The central computing system at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission's Research Establishment is currently based on an IBM360 model 50 computer. Twelve smaller digital computers and one analogue computer are in use at various points within a half mile radius of the central computer installation.

    MICROBOL - a magnetic tape editing system for the IBM 1620 computer
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1963-09) Richardson, DJ
    A language structure has been devised for the preparation and editing of card image information on magnetic tapes, a computer programme has been written for the IBM 1620 computer to use this language.

    A relocatable assembly for the IBM 1620 computer
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1962-04) Richardson, DJ
    The indirect addressing feature of the I.B.M.1620 computer has been used to overcome the difficulty of cross—referencing separately assembled subroutines within a computer programme. A relocatable assembler has been devised which permits the separate assembly and testing of such subroutines. The concept of a "next subroutine" has been introduced, and its applications to interpretive systems such as Fortran shown.

    Signalling conventions for the AAEC computer network
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1973-04) Richardson, DJ
    The signalling conventions to be used by AAEC network computers communicating with the IBM360 computer are detailed and discussed. Provision is made for the temporary relinquishing of intermediate computer to computer links during such communications, and a local path command retry facility is made available. The signalling conventions presented are recommended for general AAEC computer network use.
