Donovan, John J.; Jacoby, Henry D. – 1975
The report presents the underlying software architecture and rationale of the Generalized Management Information System (GMIS), along with a sample demonstration (an energy analysis problem) of its characteristics and a summary of topics of continuing research. The field-tested experimental system has the following features: It allows on-line…

Lower Pioneer Valley Regional Planning Commission, West Springfield, MA. – 1973
A study was made of the feasibility of establishing a computerized regional information system. Existing systems were reviewed, and the location of the system was discussed. The system's structure was described. A cost benefit analysis looked into capital costs and operating costs. A cooperative system was found to be feasible, based on…

Reames, C. C.; Liu, M. T. – 1974
An introduction to the problems of variable-length message transmission in distributed loop computer networks, with a summary of previous accomplishments in the area, begins this technically-oriented document. An improved technique, overcoming some of the inadequacies in presently used techniques, is proposed together with a conceptual model of…

Steiner, Hermann M. – 1977
In a very short time, data processing has grown from virtually nothing to a position of great importance in the technical scientific system of civilization in the Federal Republic of Germany. Both the public and private sectors have contributed significantly to this expansion. Research and development have now reached large proportions. Thus there…

Mitchell, Eugene E., Ed. – 1979
In context of an instrumentation course, four ocean engineering students set out to design and construct a micro-computer based data acquisition system that would be compatible with the University's CYBER host computer. The project included hardware design in the area of sampling, analog-to-digital conversion and timing coordination. It also…

Hsiao, D. K.; And Others – 1974
Although the indispensibility of access control mechanisms in data secure systems has been recognized, there is a need for more subtle protection and refined control mechanisms. This report describes context protection mechanisms which enable the same data unit to be protected differently in different contexts, the differences being determined by…

Psychological Corp., New York, NY. – 1981
The Certificate in Data Processing (CDP) Examination conducted by the Institute for Certification of Computer Professionals (ICCP) is one of the qualifications for the CDP. The May 1981 administration tested 3,601 candidates at 149 international test sites. Half of the candidates were taking the examination for the first time and were taking all…

Shirley, Maurice
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…

Glassock, David G. – CAUSE/EFFECT, 1978
The needs and problems of the small college or university management information system are discussed through the experiences of a small midwestern university. It is suggested that technological advancements in software and minicomputers will improve the systems development capabilities of small institutions. (Author/BH)

Aanstoos, Christopher M. – 1985
In this paper the theory that human thinking proceeds according to the computer model, or symbol manipulation, is reviewed and challenged. The research used as subjects five highly rated tournament chess players who "thought aloud" during a chess game to provide tape recorded protocols of decisions made while playing. These protocols…
