L'INFORMATIQUE AU SERVICE DE LA RECHERCHE

The author, Ingenieur General, Head of the SNCF Research Department, explains the conditions under which information processing is used in his Department and how it differs from business information processing: scientific information processing and operational information processing are the two headings explored. Mr. Tessier describes the applications of both, their respective theoretical, technical and economic spheres, the methods employed; he gives numerous examples of the variety of uses to which they are put and closes by stating the potential and needs of information processing: ever-growing resources opening new paths for research.
