Entwicklungstendenzen im hybriden Rechnen
German-language journal article by W. Giloi of the Technische Universität Berlin, originally presented as a lecture at the AFIPS Computer Exposition (Anaheim, November–December 1967) and published in Elektronik vol. 17, no. 11, 1968. The article surveys the state of hybrid computing as of 1967 — analyzing error behavior of analog versus digital computers, the structure of hybrid systems (ADC/DAC interfaces, crosspoint switch matrices, mode control), and emerging hybrid programming languages such as MIDAS, APACHE, and HYBLOCK. It concludes with a forward-looking prognosis for increasing automation of hybrid programming, larger reconfigurable analog networks, and the eventual migration of more computational work to the digital side.
