The problems examined during this investigation consisted of the development of data acquisition and instructional systems, (1) to collect reliable data to assess the management system's actual performance and its acceptability by trainees, (2) to manage a variety of available resources, (3) to schedule trainees' activities, and (4) to monitor…

An analysis to ascertain which electronic data processing (EDP) systems are most flexible in processing wide ranges of volumes efficiently. A simulation model of the job environment of three common EDP systems provides information on the shape of their cost functions in the neighborhood of optimality. (Author/LS)

This report gives a managerial overview of the Life Cycle Cost Impact Modeling System (LCCIM), which was designed to provide the Air Force with an in-house capability of assessing the life cycle cost impact of weapon system design alternatives. LCCIM consists of computer programs and the analyses which the user must perform to generate input data.…

Comprehensive Analytical Methods for Planning in University Systems (CAMPUS) and Computerized Analysis Adapting the Techniques of Simulation to Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATS)-2 are combined to represent a computer based information and planning system. This system is designed to help the community colleges of Ontario gain the…

These guidelines for communicating effectively the details of computer model design and operation to persons with varying interests in a model recommend the development of four different types of manuals to meet the needs of managers, users, analysts and programmers. The guidelines for preparing a management summary manual suggest a broad spectrum…

The work of the Committee on the use of automation in Swedish research libraries has differed from that of a normal study group by virtue of its heavy concentration on the practical aspects of library catalog work, the present status of which is the main theme of this report. The model presented implies total and simultaneous integration of all…

In 1965 the Court of Appeals of Kentucky ruled that all property should be assessed at 100 percent of fair market value. In compliance with the court decision, the county assessors began reassessing properties in January 1966. A great controversy arose over the new assessment procedures and problems. This study evaluates the results of the 1966…
