AutoCarto 1

Proceedings of the first International Conference On Automation in Cartography, October 9-12 1974

Abstract

As is true for almost any department in life, you get out of a technical meeting as much as you are willing to contribute. Thus, looking back on the level of exchange at the technical sessions and workshops, in the halls, around the bar the International Conference on Automation in Cartography can be judged a profitable meeting. Many of the individual contributions were invited but many more were not, creating an atmosphere of discovery badly needed in a technical field as new and unarticulated as this.
