Proceedings of the Symposium sponsored and edited by the International Computation Centre, Rome, March 26-31, 1962 (Review) 1963-06-30 2 .pdf application/pdf 1376 73 56 There are two drawbacks to the ~se of such languages, however: (1) there IS no generally accepted single symbolic lan- guage, so that the investigator must at pres- ent learn a number of languages if he is un- certain of the computer he may have to use; (2) since symbolic languages are used in so many ways by so many fields, they tend to grow rather rapidly and to become unman- ageable. It is for this rea- son that computer experts have developed symbolic languages, defined as completely formalized language (s) structurally and con- ceptually rich enough for communication be- tween computers, between computer and man, and even between man and man in the computer field. cache/crl-11597.pdf txt/crl-11597.txt
