In 1955 an informal meeting of computing personnel was held to investigate the practicality of a joint effort by several IBM 704 computer users to coordinate programming work. Represented were the Rand Corporation, North American Aviation, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, and IBM. The group evolved into a general users' group for medium and large-scale IBM computers, including the 360/50 and systems 370 and 303X. The organization conducted annual meetings, produced a newsletter, and helped develop...
