The document summarizes the history of computers across five generations from 1940 to the present:
1) First generation (1940-1956) used vacuum tubes, took up entire rooms, and were inefficient. Notable machines were UNIVAC and ENIAC.
2) Second generation (1956-1963) replaced vacuum tubes with transistors, making computers smaller, faster, and less expensive to operate. Programming languages evolved from machine language to assembly languages.
3) Third generation (1964-1971) used integrated circuits, enabling interaction through keyboards and monitors. This allowed multiple applications to run simultaneously.
4) Fourth generation (1972-2010) used microprocessors, fitting an entire computer into a single chip.
Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a computer is/was being used.
Initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies.
Nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire
computer system

Generations of Computer
Introduction:
A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data.
Nowadays, a computer can be used to type documents, send email, play games, and browse the Web. It can also be used to edit or create spreadsheets, presentations, and even videos. But the evolution of this complex system started around 1946 with the first Generation of Computer and evolving ever since.
There are five generations of computers.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. 1940 – 1956: First Generation –
These early computers used vacuum tubes
Vacuum Tubes
as circuitry and magnetic drums for memory.
As a result they were enormous, literally
taking up entire rooms and costing a fortune
to run. These were inefficient materials
which generated a lot of heat, sucked huge
electricity and subsequently generated a lot
of heat which caused ongoing breakdowns.
These first generation computers relied on
‘machine language’ (which is the most basic
programming language that can be
understood by computers). These computers were limited to
solving one problem at a time. Input was based on punched
cards and paper tape. Output came out on print-outs. The two
notable machines of this era were the UNIVAC and ENIAC
machines – the UNIVAC is the first every commercial
computer which was purchased in 1951 by a business – the US
3. 1956 – 1963: Second Generation –
The Transistors vacuum tubes by transistors saw
replacement of
the advent of the second generation of computing.
Although first invented in 1947, transistors weren’t
used significantly in computers until the end of
the 1950s. They were a big improvement over the
vacuum tube, despite still subjecting computers to
damaging levels of heat. However they were hugely
superior to the vacuum tubes, making computers smaller,
faster, cheaper and less heavy on electricity use. They still
relied on punched card for input/printouts.The language
evolved from cryptic binary language to symbolic (‘assembly’)
languages. This meant programmers could create instructions
in words. About the same time high level programming
languages were being developed (early versions of COBOL and
FORTRAN). Transistor-driven machines were the first
computers to store instructions into their memories – moving
from magnetic drum to magnetic core ‘technology’. The early
4. 1964 – 1971: Third Generation –
Integrated Circuits
By this phase, transistors were now being
miniaturised and put on silicon chips (called semiconductors). This led to a massive
increase in speed and efficiency of
these machines. These were the first
computers where users interacted
using keyboards and monitors which
interfaced with an operating system, a
significant leap up from the punch
cards and printouts. This enabled these machines to
run several applications at once using a central
program which functioned to monitor memory.As a
result of these advances which again made machines
cheaper and smaller, a new mass market of users
5. 1972 – 2010: Fourth Generation –
Microprocessors
This revolution can be summed in one word:
Intel. The chip-maker developed the Intel
4004 chip in 1971, which positioned all
computer components (CPU, memory, input/
output controls) onto a single chip. What
filled a room in the 1940s now fit in the palm
of the hand. The Intel chip housed thousands
of integrated circuits. The year 1981 saw the
first ever computer (IBM) specifically designed
for home use and 1984 saw the MacIntosh introduced by
Apple. Microprocessors even moved beyond the realm of
computers and into an increasing number of everyday
products.The increased power of these small computers meant
they could be linked, creating networks. Which ultimately led
to the development, birth and rapid evolution of the Internet.
Other major advances during this period have been the
Graphical user interface (GUI), the mouse and more recently
6. 2010- : Fifth Generation – Artificial
Intelligence
Computer devices with artificial intelligence are still
in development, but some of these technologies are
beginning to emerge and be used such as voice
recognition. AI is a reality made possible by using
parallel processing and super- conductors. Leaning to
the future, computers will be radically transformed
again by quantum
computation, molecular and nano
technology. The essence of fifth
generation will be using these
technologies to ultimately create
machines which can process and
respond to natural language, and
have capability to learn and
