1506	 The LACONIQ Monitor Time Sharing for Online Dialogues	 The LACONIQ Laboratory Computer Online Inquiry Monitor was developed primarily to support non-numerical applications such as retrieval from very large files by means of a dialogue between a system user and a retrieval application. The monitor was designed so that it could work with a small computer an IBM System . Therefore techniques for resource allocation were important. For this reason the use of core storage computational facilities and input-output were all scheduled. An unusual feature of the system is that it is event-driven rather than clock-driven. The program segments called into execution by the remote CRT consoles are invariably run to completion rather than rolled-out to be brought back at a later time.
