With new developments constantly occurring in computer science, it is difficult for anyone to keep up with the changes and the material being published in the field. This document is a survey of information sources in computer science and is intended to identify those core resources which can help engineers and librarians to find information about…

Introduces a research activity program in which 10 students worked during the summer as part of a team that developed software for a larger project. Lists names of students, the professors with whom they worked, and their research efforts. (RT)

This two-part article deals with the design and construction of a primitive Von Neumann computer using a logic design simulator. Describes the design of the computer memory and its register structure. Six layouts of the computer architecture are presented. Lists three references. (YP)

Discusses a research project that uses artificial intelligence techniques to help teach programing. Describes principles and implementation of the LISP Intelligent Tutoring System (LISPITS). Explains how the artificial intelligence technique was developed and possible future research. (MVL)

Discusses a program in which research groups consisting of faculty, undergraduate students, and graduate students worked on projects in computer graphics, automatic-code generation, or computer-aided instruction. Cites several positive outcomes for students when research is made relevant to the technical subject studied. (RT)

Describes a computer program used in an experiment in which the partial molal volumes of sodium chloride solutions are calculated as a function of concentration from densities measured with a pycnometer. The complete program listing (also available from the author on disk) and a sample run are included. (JN)

Discusses the possibility that changing the arrangement of computer courses from association with technical and mathematical subjects to a broader course based on social subjects and arts will lead to an increase in the proportion of women studying and working in the computer field. (Author/YP)

Describes the use of a logic circuit simulator to design a computer in an introductory computer course. Discusses the design of a sequence generator, control circuits, and testing of a computer's instruction set. (YP)

Describes various ways a user can control computer program activity using different menu constructions. Advantages, disadvantages and program design principles for menu design are discussed. A listing for a menu demonstration program is included. (BC)
