Book excerpt: This second volume of the Proceedings of the 1965 Fall Joint Computer Conference is an attempt to capture the spirit of innovation that was the hallmark of the Conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 30 - December 1, 1965. Part I of Volume 27, containing the formal papers presented in the Technical Sessions, was distributed at the Conference. The first volume included the traditional papers covering recent advances in hardware and software as well as a number of presentations focusing attention on new applications and problems of management in information processing.From its inception, the 1965 FJCC attempted to provide the opportunity for professional communication at every level. To this end the conference included a number of panel sessions organized to explore new areas of activities in the field of information processing. In a more radical departure, the structure of the traditional program of the conference was altered to focus the attention of the entire conference on the profound influence that computing is exerting on all facets of American society. In place of the usual keynote speaker, the Conference Committee invited nine outstanding speakers from disciplines outside of the traditional definition of data processing to explore the question of how computers are affecting the world around us. The speakers from government, education, and industry who honored our platform on the day-long session that closed the Conference, were not casual observers remote from the changing world of computer technologies, but rather men of stature that knew and used computers in their diverse fields.
