INFOPLEX: hierarchical decomposition of a large information management system using a microprocessor complex

The effective use of computer systems for large-scale information management rather than numerical computation is still a largely unsolved problem. In this paper important concepts and theories regarding computer architectures for information management are introduced. The underlying concept, hierarchical decomposition, is presented in the next section.
