Contribution: Determine and analyze the gap between software practitioners' education outlined in the 2014 IEEE/ACM software engineering education knowledge (SEEK) and industrial needs pointed by Wikipedia articles referenced in Stack Overflow (SO) posts. Background: Previous work has uncovered deficiencies in the coverage of computer…

We introduce an effective computer aided learning visual tool (CALVT) to teach graph-based applications. We present the robot motion planning problem as an example of such applications. The proposed tool can be used to simulate and/or further to implement practical systems in different areas of computer science such as graphics, computational…

The bibliography contains 308 abstracts of unclassified Rand studies dealing with various aspects of computing technology. The studies selected have all been issued during the period January 1963 through August 1971. The intention is to revise the bibliography at periodic intervals to incorporate new publications. Both subject and author indexes…

The Computer Museum in Marlborough, Massachusetts houses old and not-so-old calculators, famous old computers and parts of computers, photographs and assorted memorabilia, computer-generated murals, and even a computer made of Tinkertoys that plays tick-tack-toe.

The Pagitron electronic composition system offers the potential to manipulate all elements of pagination as easily and as quickly as words are manipulated on computerized text-editing systems. The importance of such an all-encompassing pagination system is that it allows the editorial side of a newspaper or magazine total control over everything…

The document provides an introduction to computer graphics and is intended to be used as reference material to assist the high school drafting student in compiling information. A teletype machine with an acoustical coupler for telephone hookup and a time-sharing Peripherals Corporation flatbed plotter were acquired, and an illustrated programer's…

The objectives of this workshop were: (1) To provide assistance in the exploration of the technological and related issues, which include the latest techniques, methods for employment, equipment and benefits to be obtained from the application of computer-controlled typesetting and photographic composition; (2) To provide an opportunity for…

A general description is provided of the "geometric dictionary," a graphic display aid, used by the Computer-Assisted Instruction Laboratory at the Pennsylvania State University. The purpose of the description is to enable the reader to duplicate and use the dictionary on any cathode ray tube terminal of the IBM 1500 system. The major…

Interactive computer graphics is fast becoming the standard medium of communication between computers and all kinds of users. Reasons for this trend, the technology of interactive graphics displays, software considerations, applications (including classroom and laboratory applications), and future developments are discussed.

The thirteenth in a series of profiles documenting experiences with the use of instructional technology describes how computer usage has come to be a routine activity among the students and faculty of Dartmouth College. (Author/MLF)

The bewildering number of available terminals which are offered to CAI users presents a rather formidable problem of which one to choose. This article surveys what appear to be evolving standards for terminals. The usefulness of these terminals for CAI purposes is discussed, together with the best known prototype exhibiting the particular feature.…
