The report was prepared by a member of the staff of the Management Information System for Occupational Education (MISOE). It constitutes a clear and precise statement of the tasks required to establish a "laboratory MISOE," as described in the Journal of Research and Development in Education (Winter 1974), to accomplish the purposes of "Collaborative MISOE." Collaborative MISOE's major goal is to provide a "real time" experience for MISOE developers and occupational education policy-makers such that future development of interactive computer systems designed to facilitate improved policy can be based on human experience. The report specifies clearly the alternative required to accomplish this goal. MISOE was a major development effort to improve the policy-making function at the State level, undertaken in Massachusetts in 1971 and ended in 1975. MISOE sought to combine three large data sets (a census data system, a longitudinal sample data system, and an ex post facto data set) on a single computer with interactive capability, bringing to the policy-makers' fingertips a range of psychological, economic, and demographic data and providing them with a knowledge base for "parametizing" forecast models. Proposals for the adaptation of existing systems to MISOE's needs and discussion of these proposals is included. (Author/AJ)
