GLISP is a high-level computer language (based on Lisp and including Lisp as a sublanguage) which is compiled into Lisp. GLISP programs are compiled relative to a knowledge base of object descriptions, a form of abstract datatypes. A primary goal of the use of abstract datatypes in GLISP is to allow program code to be written in terms of objects,…

An alternative grammar to Burt's elementary transformational grammar of English is described and presented in a computer format, and derivations obtained employing the grammar are given. (Author)

A summary of one library's experiences in one year of searching a variety of bibliographic data bases. (PF)

To guide others interested in establishing a computer/data processing program of studies, the history of an existing program is outlined and several specific suggestions proposed. (AG)

This article studies each component of the PLATO system--the computer hardware, the courseware, the student terminal, and the distribution network. The discussions of each component point out cost-determining factors. (Author)

A report on the second stage of a project in which applied computer simulation to better understand the variables affecting student performance in an elementary classroom is assessed. (Author)

This document assesses the status of magnetic bubble technology as displayed by non-U.S. research and manufacturing facilities. Non-U.S. research and U.S. accomplishments are described while both technical and economic factors are addressed. Magnetic bubble devices are discussed whenever their application could impact future computer system…

Procedures are presented to assist programers with the use of the Coursewriter II preprocessor. The preprocessor was designed to reduce the repetition of effort which takes place from the conception of a course by its author to the time of its use by students in on-line instruction. It accomplishes this by relieving the programer of the tedious…

A computer program for synthesizing speech by rule from phonetic data has been modified so that the rules for generating stop consonants depend upon context. Listening tests have shown that this expedient can increase the intelligibility of stop consonants in isolated CV syllables from 68 percent to 92 percent. (Author)

Examines the important developments taking place within the technologies associated with computing and communications, the four elements that will determine the future of computing in the United Kingdom, the problems the United Kingdom must overcome, and the role of government investment. Journal availability: see EA 510 738. (Author/IRT)

Computer security and computer privacy issues are discussed. Among the areas addressed are technical and human security threats, security and privacy issues for information in electronic mail systems, the need for a national commission to examine these issues, and security/privacy issues relevant to colleges and universities.
