Project 11: Bibliography

This project on annotated bibliography was closed in 1979 with the
publication of a bibliography, see the end of this file.

Oxford 1975:
============

The Chairman stressed the need for some form of annotated bibliography 
and wondered whether the Group could work in conjunction with Signum. 
Dr Lawson agreed to explore the possibilities.	Dr Einarsson 
elaborated on the Swedish project, which is computer based. He agreed 
to accept responsibility for this area of the Group's interest, subject 
to overcoming funding and secretarial difficulties.

Oak Brook 1976:
===============

Dr. Einarsson's Bibliography on Numerical Software was 
discussed. One-hundred copies had been produced and distributed.

Dr. Pool expressed the Group's appreciation of the effort which 
has been involved. The next stage might be to request further 
input from Working Group members and attendees at the Portability 
Workshop. A common agreed format for all entrees was also 
required. It was pointed out that ideally the bibliography should 
be machine based and it was agreed that either the Harwell or 
Argonne bibliographic system could be used to produce a later 
version. Professor Hull inquired about the possibility of 
marketing an updated edition. It was thought likely that suitable 
outlets could be found.

Amsterdam 1977:
===============

Dr Einarsson reported that the 3rd version (reference 1 below) had
been printed in a run of 200 copies as a Berkeley Report (sponsored by
the US Navy). The software aids section had been removed. Chapter 16
was to be submitted for publication (reference 2 below) and comments
would be welcome. Copies of the document would be available (in
limited numbers) from Sweden. There were no current plans for further
developments. Professor Yanenko asked whether analytical methods were
included and whether interval analysis was included. It was decided
that these subjects should be deferred to a future edition. The thanks
of the group were expressed to Dr Einarsson (proposed Dr Brown,
seconded Professor Hull).
