A Comprehensive Treatment Of Closed-Loop Dynamics And Synthesis Presenting A Procedure For Specifying And Creating Closed-Loop Systems. Fine No Wear With Princeton / Institute For Advanced Study Bookplate Of Computer Scientist Willis H. Ware. Dj Complete Not Price Clipped Near Fine A Few Traces Of Rubbing And A 1/8" V-Chip At Top Front Flap Fold. Ware'S Participation In A Classified World War Ii Project To Identify Friendly Aircraft Led The Mathematician John Von Neumann To Recruit Him To Help Develop A Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton N.J. In 1946. That Machine Was Not The First Digital Computer But It Was Based On A Set Of Design Ideas Described By Dr. Von Neumann That Were Broadly Influential - First On The Design Of Computers Built By Scientists Around The World And Then On An Early Ibm Computer Known As The 701. Many Of These Concepts Are Still Visible In The Structure Of Modern Computers And Smartphones. Mr. Ware Part Of A Small Group Of Engineers Working On That Machine Was The First To Try To Engineer Many Of The Components That Would Become Vital To Modern Computers. His Experience In Designing High-Speed Electronic Circuits During The War Was Essential To His Work On The Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study Said George Dyson A Historian Of The Project. Moving To Los Angeles He Worked For North American Aviation And Joined Rand In 1952. There He Managed The Department Where The Engineer Paul Baran Did Early Work On Packet-Switching A Technology That Was The Basis For The Internet. Mr. Ware Who Worked At The Rand Corporation For More Than 55 Years Was One Of The First People To Gain A Prescient View Of The Effect Computers Were Having On Society In Their Impact On Automation And The Threats They Posed To Privacy. "The Computer Will Touch Men Everywhere And In Every Way Almost On A Minute-To-Minute Basis" He Wrote In 1966. "Every Man Will Communicate Through A Computer Whatever He Does. It Will Change And Reshape His Life Modify His Career And Force Him To Accept A Life Of Continuous Change." While At Rand Mr. Ware Led An Early Pentagon Study Exploring Computer Security. Afterward He Was Asked By The Secretary Of Commerce To Lead A Committee To Address "Personal Privacy" In The Computer Era. Some Of Its Policy Recommendations Were Adopted In The Privacy Act Of 1974. Among Other Problems The Committee Dealt With The Increasing Reliance On "Universal Identifiers" Like Social Security Numbers. "Willis Ware Laid The Foundation For Modern Privacy Law. His Insight Was That In The Computer Age Organizations That Collected Private Information Would Have To Take Responsibility And Individuals Who Gave Up Personal Information Would Need To Get Rights."
