The SLEXTF-M2 computer program, written in FORTRAN IV, is used for examinations using binomial or polynomial response, i.e., true/false or multiple choice. The subject matter of any one statement is coded by a string of descriptive words that indicate categories. These words are arranged in left-to-right order such that any one descriptor defines…

This paper describes the methodology of a project to develop a computer program capable of reading casually hand-printed FORTRAN programs. (Author)

Describes a computer program called GRADER that aids the instructor of large or multi sections in recording student test scores, combining them with lab grades or other ratings and weighing each appropriately. (MLH)

This paper describes how the problem of resolution of syntactic ambiguities is approached in the parser PHRASE, developed for use in experiments in automatic indexing and extracting. PHRASE is a multi-level parser for declarative sentences, in which the syntactic structure is built up in four stages. (10 references) (Author)

INFOSH is a program which allows the user to search through data in any file set up through the main INFO programs (IR 004 715) and obtain results of each search in a table format. It functions primarily to facilitate answering questions about data in a file in a way that does not involve manual scanning. It can give answers to questions dealing…

GENERALIZED ACADEMIC SIMULATION PROGRAMS (GASP) IS SCHOOL SCHEDULING BY COMPUTER. THE PUBLICATION COMPARES THE MANUAL METHOD OF DEVELOPING A SCHOOL SCHEDULE WITH THE NEW METHOD OF COMPUTER PROGRAMING. A MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMING IS THAT IT RELIEVES THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS BUSY WORK SO THAT HE CAN DEVOTE HIS ENERGIES AND TIME TO MORE…

Work in three areas comprised this study of computer use in thematic indexing for music research: (1) acquisition, encoding, and keypunching of data--themes of which now number about 50,000 (primarily 16th Century Italian vocal music) and serve as a test base for program development; (2) development of computer programs to process this data; and…

In order to build a framework in which to discuss the evolution of data communications, the three main components of a basic data transmission system (source, medium and data sink) are considered to see what has happened in each area since 1960. This somewhat oversimplified basic approach is taken in order to avoid the confusing terminology and…

Librarians and their concerned colleagues met to give, hear and discuss papers on library automation, primarily by computers. Noted at this second meeting on library automation were: (1) considerably more sophistication and casualness about the techniques involved, (2) considerably more assurance of what and where things can be applied and (3)…
