John von Neumann's 'First Draft' on EDVAC (stored-program concept)

John von Neumann drafted the 'First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC' in 1945 while working with researchers at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering. The document articulated the stored-program concept and circulated design principles that strongly influenced later computer architecture. It is widely cited as a foundational text in the development of modern digital computers. The work is directly associated with the Moore School at the University of Pennsylvania.
