Abstract

The Lincoln Reckoner is a time-shared system for on-line use in scientific and engineering research. It looks forward to the day when a computational service can be put into the office of every serious research worker, and it was designed as an experiment to find out what features of such a service will have an important effect on the amount of work the user gets done.
