This bibliography lists computer-oriented books, primarily textbooks, according to the following subject areas: (1) introduction to electronic data processing; (2) computer programing and computer languages; (3) systems analysis; (4) systems design; (5) computer-based management information systems; (6) computer applications; (7) special subjects;…

Methods to make computer searching as simple and efficient as possible have led to the development of various data structures. Data structures specify the items involved in searching and what can be done to them. The nature and advantages of using "self-adjusting" data structures (self-adjusting binary search trees) are discussed. (JN)

Problems of designing a college honors program in computer science as an academic discipline are disucssed. (MM)

Data from a brief survey of current and potential uses of minicomputers in small educational institutions suggests that the principal role of minicomputers in such institutions will be for school administration and for teaching the use of computers. In the instructional area, emphasis should be placed on teaching (1) the potentials and…

In addition to the input/output record format, the program flowchart, the program listing, and the program test output, eight documentation items are suggested in order that they may serve as a base from which to start teaching program documentation. (Author/AG)

Since 1961, when the Data Processing Department was formed at Kansas City Kansas Community College (KCKCC), data processing education has radically changed, in structure, focus, content, and students. Where once computer courses were taught only by the Data Processing Department, currently computer-related courses can be found in many different…

A lack of comprehensive up-to-date textbooks designed specifically for use in the computers in the education field motivated the development of this resource handbook. There are major sections entitled: computers in education; teaching about computers; the computer as an aid to learning; the computer as a teacher; the computer as a classroom…

Small stand-alone microcomputers can serve as the basis for running a sophisticated general-purpose interactive software system capable of supporting such interactive tasks as computer assisted instruction, word processing, and data processing, as well as other software development. A successful system using the PASCAL programing language is…

This document contains twelve reports which were presented at the Seminar on Training Policies for Computer Manpower and Users held in Paris, May 1973. The seminar was sponsored by the Computer Utilization Group of the new Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Reports were submitted on the following topics: characteristics…

The materials and methods described in this report constitute an integrated system which allows a professional educator with a minimum of data processing experience to teach a course in computer technology. The course is divided into three teaching modules--(1) general background and programing, (2) techniques and applications, and (3) advanced…

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…

The aim of this book is to interest young people from the ages of ten to fourteen in computers, particularly to show them that computers are exciting machines, controlled by people, and to dispel myths that computers can do magic. This is not a detailed exposition of computers, nor is it a textbook. It is an attempt to impart flavor and general…

This directory provides comprehensive information pertinent to data processing education. The annotated listings describe manufacturers, trade associations, publications, training aids, and schools. Each entry includes price and availability information, correspondence information, and a short description. Over 2500 computer terms are presented in…

The terms in this glossary come from the fields of electronics, communications, systems analysis, mathematics, and computer science. When two or more terms have the same meaning, the preferred term is noted. Relationships between terms are shown by descriptive cross-referencing expressions (i.e., similar to, contrasted with, related to, clarified…
