hasn't (to the best of my knowledge) been mentioned in discussions of
the origins of the von Neumann/Goldstine notion of flowcharting is the
work that was done in visualizing computational flow as part of the
ENIAC project. (The following comments draw heavily on work done with
Tom Haigh and Crispin Rope as part of the <a href="http://eniacinaction.com/" target="_blank" class="">"ENIAC in Action"</a> project.)<br class=""><br class=""></div>The
famous "plugging and switching" of the ENIAC allowed basic sequences of
operations to be set up (and a bit more than that, but that's a detail)
but the team soon realized - by the end of 1943 - that they would need
ways of combining sequences into structures of arbitrary complexity,
involving repetition and conditional branching. During 1944 they
investigated various ways of doing this "sequence programming" (their
term) before settling on the design of ENIAC's master programmer, the
central unit where loops and branching were controlled. Program
structures were illustrated using "master programmer diagrams" which
showed the basic sequences as unanalyzed blocks linked by simplified
representations of the settings of the master programmer's "steppers".
These diagrams first appeared in public in a report written for the
Applied Mathematics Panel in November 1945 and were later used, for
example, by Douglas Hartree to document his 1946 ENIAC program.<br class=""><br class=""></div></div>So
the ENIAC modeled general computational flow using complex "switches"
(the steppers) that both counted iterations and provided multi-way
branching. The EDVAC design & code of spring 1945 reduced this
complexity to the more primitive notions of binary decisions and address
modification. I suggest that when they came to try to visualize
programs in 1946/7, von Neumann and Goldstine (who clearly would have
been familiar with the ENIAC notation) performed a similar reduction,
replacing the steppers on the master programming diagrams with the
"alternative boxes" of their flow diagram notation. If you do this, you
have the basic flow diagram notation: vN+G's "operation
boxes ... where no branching or
merger takes place" are functionally equivalent to the basic sequences
appearing on the master programmer diagrams.<br class=""><br class=""></div>So I don't
think it's necessary to look as far afield as chemical engineering or
process modeling to see where the flow diagram notation came from. We
have not found the term "flow diagram" itself anywhere in the ENIAC
literature, however.<br class=""><br class=""></div>Best wishes<br class=""><br class=""></div>Mark</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On 19 April 2015 at 09:03, Willard McCarty <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk" target="_blank" class="">willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I'd be most grateful for pointers to very early flowcharting under any name -- esp. prior to Herman Goldstine and John von Neumann, who called flowcharts "flow diagrams", in "Planning and Coding of Problems for an Electronic Computing Instrument", Part II, Vol. I (1947).

I recently listened to a podcast on Pickering's human-intensive computing<br class="">
for processing astronomical data. Here is a wiki page that contains an<br class="">

I am seeking diagrammatic workflow models of the types of computation<br class="">
that occurred<br class="">
under Pickering's direction, but more generally, any articles or texts<br class="">
that contain such<br class="">
diagrams for human computing. I am familiar with modern formalisms<br class="">
such as<br class="">
BPMN: <a href="http://www.bpmn.org/" target="_blank" class="">http://www.bpmn.org/</a> in which business workflows might be<br class="">
formalized. I also have<br class="">
read Grier's excellent book:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/When-Computers-Human-David-Grier/dp/0691091579/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429392009&sr=8-1&keywords=when+computers+were+human" target="_blank" class="">http://www.amazon.com/When-Computers-Human-David-Grier/dp/0691091579/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429392009&sr=8-1&keywords=when+computers+were+human</a><br class="">

The history and cultural context is interesting to me, and most<br class="">
appropriate for engaging<br class="">
readers, however, the main end-point in this story-telling process,<br class="">
for me, is for people to<br class="">
appreciate the path toward the diagrammatic formalisms with their<br class="">
nodes, merges, branches, and<br class="">
connections.<br class="">
<br class="">
If I need to, I can embark on a path toward creating some models with<br class="">
the written historical<br class="">
accounts as a guide, but I thought that checking here would be the<br class="">
best starting location in this<br class="">
quest for diagrammatic evidence.<br class="">
