Suggests new method of external distribution called tree partitioning that involves use of binary tree to split incoming file into successively smaller partitions for internal sorting. Number of disc accesses during a tree-partitioning sort were calculated in simulation using files extracted from British National Bibliography catalog files. (19…

A scheme which classifies the instructional applications of computers is designed to overcome the confusion created by the imprecision and equivocation associated with computer terminology. The classification is restricted to instructional applications, allows that some applications could apply to more than one category, and reflects a continuum…

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,…

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…

Future impacts of microcomputing on political science are discussed. Scenarios dealing with networking, data access, field research, course management, and simulations and artificial intelligence are described. (RM)

The purpose of the research described in the report is twofold. First, it is to analyze the relative benefits and costs of on-line computerized placement systems. The techniques developed for such an analysis which might be useful in evaluating other manpower programs are presented. Second, it is to provide a prototype model which shows how…
