Describes use of the editing language, format commands, and edit commands for General Electric's Remote Access Editing System (RAES) in library applications. (DE)

Computer based education (CBE) and some possibilities for use of such systems are described. Considers instructional materials (computer programs/PLATO), benefits of CBE, recent CBE developments (focusing on PLATO), a case study of PLATO courseware development in Lower Division Engineering Curriculum, CBE authoring capabilities, CBE effectiveness,…

Discusses a semantic network of computer literacy topics and a computer implementation (ACCOLADE) for the PLATO IV system. ACCOLADE was used by learners as a search tool for accessing knowledge about a particular topic in the computer literacy knowledge space and as a mechanism to reveal the structure of that knowledge space. References are…

Discusses the rediscovery of computer software (programs) as a form of mathematics, and the impact of increasingly complex software on university research and teaching as well as business and industry practices. (MLH)

Developed by the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology and the Defense Intelligence Agency with input from other federal agencies, this detailed document contains the 1983 technical forecast for the information processing industry through 1997. Part I forecasts the underlying technologies of hardware and software, discusses changes in the…

This article describes a computer program, or package, that has been designed to allow a novice computer user to analyze natural language text by computer. The program can produce collocations, concordances, and word lists. The article also describes the package control language, which is designed to be easily used. Word extraction, word…

A computer-drive interactive aid for movement analysis, called MOVANAID, has been developed to be of assistance in the performance of certain Army intelligence processing tasks in a tactical environment. It can compute fastest travel times and paths through road networks for military units of various types, as well as fastest times in which…

This report describes several of the design decisions underlying ACT, a production system model of human cognition. ACT can be considered a high level computer programming language as well as a theory of the cognitive mechanisms underlying human information processing. ACT design decisions were based on both psychological and artificial…

This is the final scientific research report for the research in programing at Carnegie-Mellon University during 1968-1970. Three team programing efforts during the past two years have been the development of (1) BLISS--a system building language on the PDP-10 computer, (2) LC2--a conversational system on the IBM/360, and L*--a system building…

TRIAL is an information processing system that will perform editing, indexing, and retrieval of textual and certain types of numeric information. The system allows for: (1) the creation and maintenance of a master file, (2) indexing on words designated as 'key' words or, alternatively, on every word in the text, excluding those common terms that…

This report describes for the potential user a set of procedures for processing textual materials on-line. In this preliminary model an information analyst can scan through messages, reports, and other documents on a display scope and select relevant facts, which are processed linguistically and then stored in the computer in the form of logical…

Divided into five major sections, this paper describes a new algorithm which has been implemented in an extended FORTRAN program which runs on a CDC 6500 computer. The first section of the paper briefly outlines the goals of network analysis and presents the context in which these goals must be met. Section 2 describes the algorithm and the…

Recognizing the need to balance generality and economy in system costs, the Project INFO team at Stanford University developing OASIS has sought to provide generalized and powerful computer support within the normal range of operating and analytical requirements associated with university administration. The specific design objectives of the OASIS…
