The document describes the ALMO programing language. (Author)

An algorithmic language (ALGAMS) was proposed by the group on programing automation for medium type machines. The language is a subset of ALGOL-60. The paper discusses the syntax and semantics of ALGAMS. (Author/GO)

Most optimization problems of any degree of complexity must be solved using a computer. In the teaching of dynamic programing courses, it is often desirable to use a computer in problem solution. The solution process involves conceptual formulation and computational Solution. Generalized computer codes for dynamic programing problem solution…

Six control structures are used in teaching a college Fortran programing course: (1) simple sequences of instruction without any control statement, (2) IF-THEN selection, (3) IF-THEN-ELSE selection, (4) definite loop, (5) indefinite loop, and (6) generalized IF-THEN-ELSE case structure. Outlines, instead of flowcharts, are employed for algorithm…

An algorithm and associated FORTRAN-77 computer subroutine are described for computing Goodman and Kruskal's tau-b statistic along with the associated nonasymptotic probability value under the null hypothesis tau=O. (Author)

Sketchcode is a metaprograming pseudo-language documentation technique intended to simplify the process of program writing and debugging for both high and low-level users. Helpful hints and examples for the use of the technique are included. (CMV)

Describes the use of PROLOG to program knowledge-based information retrieval systems, in which the knowledge contained in a document is translated into machine processable logic. Several examples of the resulting search process, and the program rules supporting the process, are given. (10 references) (CLB)

Describes a system that provides online access to holdings information for more than 4,500 journals on a single self-executing diskette. A brief discussion of data compression is offered, along with program listings in both BASIC and C. (MES)

Teaching methods which emphasize understanding and insight can be effectively supported and expanded by using A Programming Language (APL) as a notation for both writing the algorithms of a discipline and then exploring the behavior of these algorithms by computer. (Author/LS)

This text contains material designed for about 18 weeks of study at grades 11 or 12. Use of a computer with the course is highly recommended. Developing an understanding of the relationship between mathematics, computers, and problem solving is the main objective of this book. The following chapters are included in the book: (1) Algorithms,…

This is the student's textbook for Algorithms, Computation, and Mathematics (Algol Supplement). This computer language supplement is split off from the main text to enable a school to choose the computer language desired, and also to make it easier to modify the course as languages change. The chapters in the text are designed to add language…

Multivariable queries can be processed in the data base management system INGRES. The general procedure is to decompose the query into a sequence of one-variable queries using two processes. One process is reduction which requires breaking off components of the query which are joined to it by a single variable. The other process,…

Reviews the development of artificial intelligence systems and the mechanisms used, including knowledge representation, programing languages, and problem processing systems. Eleven books and 6 journals are listed as sources of information on artificial intelligence. (23 references) (CLB)
