Abstract: A résumé of the Ames Laboratory Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) System is presented and its potential for future generation computers is discussed. The system is compared with other operational SDI systems with particular emphasis on the design differences. The Ames Laboratory system's adaptability to different input tape compositions and subject coverage is shown through a study of the results of 26 production runs made from two distinct document sources. A detailed analysis of the Ames Laboratory SDI System is made for a 40‐run period in 1965, including a discussion of shortcomings of the system and suggested solutions to eliminate certain areas of “noise”.
