Czuchry, Andrew J.; And Others – 1978
The reliability and maintainability (R&M) model described in this report represents an important portion of a larger effort called the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Study. The R&M model is the first of three models that comprise a modeling system for use in LCC analysis of avionics systems. The total…

Cutting, Guy D.; North, Stewart D. – 1973
The purpose of this article is to set forth a conceptual framework to help educational administrators understand the applications and potential of data processing activities in their institutions. It is expected that such a framework will provide a basis for data processing decisions and direction for future data processing activities. The model…

Niehaus, R. J.; Sholtz, D. – 1976
This report describes the U.S. Navy Shore Activity Manpower Planning System (SAMPS) advanced development research project. This effort is aimed at large-scale feasibility tests of manpower models for large Naval installations. These local planning systems are integrated with Navy-wide information systems on a data-communications network accessible…

Midwest Research Inst., Kansas City, MO. Economics and Management Science Div. – 1972
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…

Erwin, T. Dary; Tollefson, Arthur L. – Journal of College Student Personnel, 1982
Describes a development in computer technology called database management, presented in a model for student development. Although the type and amount of information for the database is flexible, suggests it provides an opportunity to apply existing educational principles on a wider basis to more students. (Author)

Minker, Jack, Ed.; Rosenfeld, Sam, Ed. – 1971
The symposium focused on advances in techniques in the computer oriented technology of information retrieval. Early developments and the status of recent efforts in document retrieval, question answering and data management systems are briefly reviewed. Unless fundamental processing techniques are developed and made available to workers,…

Midwest Research Inst., Kansas City, MO. Economics and Management Science Div. – 1972
Too often computer applications try to supplant rather than augment human capabilities. As a result, there is a gap between the power of the computer and some difficult administrative problems; e.g., longrange planning. However, there is increasing interest in the use of computer simulation in planning. PLANTRAN II represents a completely new…

Midwest Research Inst., Kansas City, MO. Economics and Management Science Div. – 1972
The material in this volume was developed for use in a series of workshops on institutional research and planning for colleges and universities. The workshop sessions made extensive use of computers. This was made possible through the use of PLANTRAN II, a computer simulation system designed to make the power of the computer available to the…

St. John, Edward P. – 1979
An institutional management systems development study examined the Management Information Systems (MIS) needs of 23 public institutions of higher education in Missouri. The result was a model framework for other institutions to develop MIS appropriate to their needs. One of five distinct structural development phases could be related to all…

Midwest Research Inst., Kansas City, MO. Economics and Management Science Div. – 1971
The models presented in this volume were designed to fit the typical situation. Each user of these techniques will have to modify them to ensure their applicability to his institution. Although the material exploits the capabilities of the PLANTRAN system, computer processing is not required for use of the models. The techniques dealt with here…
