Peer reviewedTillett, P. I. – Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1975
This paper describes several computer-based strategies for producing secondary school schedules and presents the results of research into the feasibility of determining optimal teacher-course assignments by use of an operations research model. (Author/JG)

Peer reviewedMason, Thomas R. – New Directions for Institutional Research, 1976
Noting the disappointing results of past experimentation with computer modeling technology in higher education, the author discusses developments which promise potential: communication between model builders and users, interaction between large- and small-scale models, interface with operating data systems, emphasis on outcomes, and continued…

Peer reviewedWatson, Hugh J.; Christy, David P. – Simulation and Games, 1982
Reports the findings of a survey on the use of computer simulation in industry. Discusses the current uses of simulation, user reaction, various programing languages used in simulation, and important trends in computer modeling. (Author/JJD)

Peer reviewedHiggins, J. C. – Long Range Planning, 1974
The author discusses some approaches to assessing the impact of inaccurate information when the planning system involves formulae of the management accounting type or models of the operational research variety. The most appropriate method for quantifying information value in management information systems is through Bayesian analysis and decision…

This paper discusses goal programming, a computer-based operations research technique that is basically a modification and extension of linear programming. The authors first discuss the similarities and differences between goal programming and linear programming, then describe the limitations of goal programming and its possible applications for…

Bottomley, Wayne N. – 1978
A model for planning regarding college faculty is described. The USC Faculty Planning Model was developed by Robert Linnell and Paul Gray in 1974 at the University of Southern California as an interactive mathematical model to trace characteristics of faculty groups over time. Characteristics listed by the model include: faculty age distribution,…
