Abstract
Historians agree that the stored program concept was formulated in 1945 and that its adoption was the most important single step in the development of modern computing. But the "concept" has never been properly defined, and its complex history has left it overloaded with different meanings. The paper surveys its use and development and attempts to separate it into three distinct aspects, each with its own history and each amenable to more precise definition. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
