There is general agreement that the modern stored  program computer
was invented in 1944-45 at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering
at the University of Pennsylvania. The computer was called the EDVAC
and is described in considerable detail in "First Draft of a Report on
the EDVAC" by John von Neumann, and in "Automatic High
Speed Computing: A Progress Report on the EDVAC" by J.Presper Eckert
and John Mauchly.  Both of these documents were written in 1945.  The
EDVAC, when it was finally finished in 1952, was quite different from
the machine described by its inventors in 1945.  Maurice Wilkes
attended a short course on computers  at the Moore School in the
summer of 1946 and the design of the EDSAC that he then built at Cambridge 
owed a great deal to the the earlier EDVAC design.
