Subject: Info on the ELO Rating System requested

URLs will do of course.

I'm interested in the history, use, success, shortcomings (inflation factor?),
possible improvements of the ELO rating system as applied post-hoc or topically
to human-human, computer-computer and human-computer games.

When did computer engines first start getting ratings?  Were they USA, European
or FIDE ratings?

Does the Swedish Computer-Computer league table have inflation built into it?
Are there proposals for countering this inflation?

What other games has the ELO system been applied to?
