Original Chinese introduction
厄娜·施奈德·胡佛参与了现代电话交换系统的过载控制软件研发。
Erna Schneider Hoover’s work spans mathematics research and telephone-switching software engineering. At Bell Labs she participated in developing stored-program telephone switching and co-signed an overload-control patent with Barry J. Eckhardt, which regulated admission of new tasks by monitoring processor load. She also participated in later software management and higher-education governance.

Derived from the current score.
Contribution groups assessed so far; coverage is still being expanded.
ASSESSMENT SCOPEWhat this score covers
All included contribution titles and notes are available in English. The complete original text remains available in Chinese; both editions use the same scores and source links.
Uncovered contributions and unresolved harms are not treated as zero. This is not a complete assessment of a lifetime.
1 included contribution has incomplete evidence; the relevant gap appears with that contribution.
Original scope note
This research record currently includes 1 outcome within a limited scope; M and attribution shares are revisable judgments. Uncovered content and negative effects not yet clarified are not treated as zero; specific gaps appear in the item-by-item explanations.
Original Chinese scope
本轮当前已列1项有限研究账；M与归功份额为可修订判断。未覆盖内容和未核清的负面作用不按零处理，具体缺口见逐项说明。
CALCULATIONHow the score is calculated
Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).
M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.
SCORE DETAILS
1 evaluated contributions
M is the assessed magnitude of an outcome; attribution is the person’s share of credit. Attributed light can be added. The standalone score is only a per-item reference and must not be added across rows.

Record year1960s–1971
Original Chinese · record year
1960年代–1971
summaryPreventing peak overload through real-time monitoring of call frequency and adjustment of admission rates, enabling large-scale electronic switching to maintain service.
Original Chinese · summary
通过实时监测呼叫频率和调整接纳率防止高峰过载，使大型电子交换保持服务。
M rationaleM5.9 evaluated based on the high-reliability software methods actually entering No. 1 ESS, 1963 private service, and 1965 public network. It is not the invention of electronic switching from nothing; the team and prior development collectively account for the majority; later internet descriptions serve only as foundational effects.
Original Chinese · M rationale
M5.9按实际进入No.1 ESS、1963私人服务及1965公共网络的高可靠软件方法评估。它不是电子交换从无发明，团队和前史合计占多数；后世互联网表述只作基础效应。
attribution rationaleErna Schneider Hoover 0.22; Bell Labs No. 1 ESS software, hardware, and system team 0.32; stored program control and telephone switching prior development 0.16; Barry J. Eckhardt 0.18; Bell Telephone Laboratories 0.05; unresolved switching control attribution 0.07. Shares are revisable research judgments.

overlap boundaryCall traffic monitoring in No. 1 ESS, control programs prioritizing input/output tasks over recording and billing during overload, computer and operating system specifications, and US3623007 disclosure. Excludes the electronic switch as a whole, telephone networks, cellular networks, and the internet.
Original Chinese · overlap boundary
No.1 ESS中的呼叫流量监测、过载时输入/输出任务优先于记录和计费的控制程序、计算机与操作系统规格及US3623007公开。排除电子交换机整体、电话网、蜂窝网络和互联网。
Evidence gapsCo-inventors have been verified by patents; specific individual technical divisions and complete claim readings remain to be supplemented. Other architects of No. 1 ESS, software and network deployers have not been individually resolved.
Original Chinese · evidence gaps
共同发明人已由专利核明；具体个人技术分工和完整权利要求对读仍待补。；No.1 ESS其他架构师、软件与网络部署者未逐人解析。

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED
Not included in this score
These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.
Safeguard anti-ballistic-missile software-team management
Safeguard反弹道导弹软件团队管理
Reason NIHF establishes that she managed the relevant programming team; the delivery directly served interception of intercontinental ballistic-missile warheads, whose military consequences are inseparable and whose net positive effect is unestablished. Management success does not set a positive M.
Original Chinese reason
NIHF明确其管理相关程序员团队；交付直接服务拦截洲际弹道导弹弹头，军事后果不可分且净正未证，不按管理成功设正M。
Artificial intelligence, database, and telephone-network software management
人工智能、数据库与电话网络软件管理
Reason The current profile has only field and position summaries, with no specific system, paper, or team delivery.
Original Chinese reason
现有人物页只有领域与职位概述，缺具体系统、论文或团队交付。
New Jersey higher-education governance and support for women faculty
新泽西高等教育治理与女性教职支持
Reason Institutional appointments and a record of supporting women faculty have not been connected to verifiable policy, funding, or specific institutional outcomes; the lead is retained pending decisions and implementation records.
Original Chinese reason
机构任职及支持女性教职的履历尚未对应到可核验的政策、资金或具体制度成果；保留线索，待决议及执行记录补证。
