SNAP/SHOT (System Network Analysis Program-Simulated Host Overview Technique) is a discrete simulation of a network and/or host model available through IBM at the Raleigh System Center. The simulator provides an analysis of a total IBM Communications System. Input data must be obtained from RMF, SMF, and the CICS Analyzer to determine the existing…

Discusses approach to integrating computer programing into a calculus-based physics survey college course which stresses three major uses of computers: data reduction, calculation, and simulation. An initial programing exercise and practical constraints--time a student can allot to course and student's level of confidence--are mentioned. (EJS)

A study is presented of the implications of formula financing for the universities of Ontario. Special reference is made to how the University of Toronto would have fared financially if the operating grant formula had been operating in the years 1963/64 to 1965/66. The analytical tool employed was a computer oriented simulation model. (FS)

This pamphlet contains information and examples intended to show how the University of Toronto C.A.M.P.U.S. model operates. C.A.M.P.U.S. (Comprehensive Analytical Method for Planning in the University Sphere) is a computer model which processes projected enrollment statistics and other necessary information in such a way as to yield time-based…

The use of computer simulation model, C.A.M.P.U.S., as a tool of systems analysis for effective educational management and planning is described. The components of the C.A.M.P.U.S. model are discussed as they relate to planning, programming, and budgeting. Problems that can be analyzed using C.A.M.P.U.S. are considered, and the implementation of…

The author discusses the impact of the "computer revolution" on the field of rhetoric and public address in terms of the potential applications of computer methods to rhetorical problems. He first discusses the computer as a very fast calculator, giving the example of a study that probably would not have been undertaken if the calculations had had…

The community college president's role in facilitating institutional computer utilization is explored, and recommendations are made for his/her behavior and priorities in connection with educational concerns, institutional concerns, and statewide concerns. Typical institutional organizational arrangements regarding campus computers, research,…

The purpose of this discussion is to acquaint pupil personnel workers with some of the applications of computer based information processing systems for pupil services and also to consider some of the legal and ethical concerns relative to data processing in counseling and guidance. Some of the uses discussed are: (1) scheduling; (2) student…

An effort to construct a model of the thermal properties of materials based on theoretical thermo-electromagnetic models, to construct a data base of the dense cultural hospital scene according to Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center (DMAAC) specifications, and to design and implement a program to evaluate the tonal model and generate imagery…

PLANTRAN II is a system of computer software designed to assist educational administrators in their planning and analysis activities. The unique feature of PLANTRAN II is that it requires no computer programing experience or expertise. Users with technical background have found PLANTRAN II helpful in their analyses without reducing the complexity…

This research report is part of the Water Pollution Control Research Series which describes the results and progress in the control and abatement of pollution in our nation's waters. The River Basin Model described is a computer-assisted decision-making tool in which a number of computer programs simulate major processes related to water use that…

NEW TECHNIQUES IN SCHEDULING PERMIT MORE EFFICIENT USE OF TIME FOR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN PROGRAMING, AND PROVIDES A SEEDBED FOR INNOVATION. THE STANFORD SCHOOL SCHEDULING SYSTEM (S-4) IS A SET OF PROGRAMS THAT AUTOMATES THE SCHEDULING PROCESS. THE FIRST OF THE FOUR PROGRAMS, CTTA, (CARD TO TAPE AND AUDIT), DIRECTS THE…

The Banff Regional Conference is intended for superintendents and trustees of medium-sized urban school districts in Canada's four western provinces. Some of the applications and limitations of electronic data processing were discussed at the 1968 conference. The following topics were covered in presentations: (1) A basic introduction to the…
