Lonsdale, Deryle – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1984
Because automated natural language processing relies heavily on the still developing fields of linguistics, knowledge representation, and computational linguistics, no system is capable of mimicking human linguistic capabilities. For the present, interactive systems may be used to augment today's technology. (MSE)

Hollenberg, Dennis – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1986
This three-part article introduces a population dynamics model of an information processing system. The first part describes the general model and defines the terms used, the second describes the functional relationships between components, and the third explores the hypothesized emergence of increasingly complex, hierarchical information systems.…

Lowry, Christina; Little, Robert – CAUSE/EFFECT, 1985
The benefits of prototyping as a basis for system design include better specifications, earlier discovery of omissions and extensions, and the likelihood of salvaging much of the effort expended on the prototype. Risks and methods of prototyping during rapid systems development are also noted. (Author/MLW)

Litaker, R. G.; And Others – CAUSE/EFFECT, 1985
Much of the power of the "information center" comes from its ability to effectively use fourth-generation productivity tools to provide information processing services. A case study of the use of these tools at Western Michigan University is presented. (Author/MLW)
Descriptors: Computer Science, Computers, Data Processing, Higher Education
Calbos, Dennis P. – CAUSE/EFFECT, 1984
The evolution of administrative data processing systems at the University of Georgia is summarized. Nolan's revised stage model was used as a framework to present the university's experience and relate it to the growing body of system implementation research. (Author/MLW)
