Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif.
Alan Borning, professor of Computer Science at the University of Washington, addresses two main questions: could false alerts
due to computer failure trigger nuclear war, and, if nucelar war should begin, could it be fought in a "limited" manner. A
question and answer period follows.
Computers--Reliability.
Military art and science--Automation.
Nuclear warfare.
Lecture presented by the Stanford Arms Control and Disarmament Forum and presented at Stanford University, August 25, 1983.
