THE ALOHA SYSTEM: another alternative for computer communications
Abstract
In September 1968 the University of Hawaii began work on a research program to investigate the use of radio communications for computer-computer and console-computer links. In this report we describe a remote-access computer system---THE ALOHA SYSTEM---under development as part of that research program and discuss some advantages of radio communications over conventional wire communications for interactive users of a large computer system. Although THE ALOHA SYSTEM research program is composed of a large number of research projects, in this report we shall be concerned primarily with a novel form of random-access radio communications developed for use within THE ALOHA SYSTEM.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
