Joseph D. Chapline, Jr. was a research associate in mathematics at the Moore School of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He worked on the differential analyzer during World War II, solving exterior ballistics equations and working on servo system stability problems. From 1947 to 1955 (when this conference proceeding was published) he was in charge of the Technical Information Department of the Eckert-Mauchly Division of Remington Rand, where he supervised production of technical literature on the UNIVAC. He was also one of two people in charge of the Registration portion of the conference's local arrangements committee.
