Abstract :
According to the inside back cover, this volume is number 7 in a series of 16 state of the art reports put out by Infotech. I have not looked at any of the others. Its 500 typewritten pages document a nameless, dateless, placeless conference attended by many of the leading contributors to the current state of the art of high-level languages. Twelve Presentations and six Invited Papers comprise 60 percent of the content; the rest is derived material in the form of a Foreword and Analysis plus a gathering of indexes of various sorts.
