This document describes a system that has been developed to use a digital computer graphics terminal for interactive analysis of piecewise continuous systems of nonlinear differential equations. This program allows even a novice user to freely investigate the behavior of control systems and solutions of differential equations by changing initial…

SIGMA (Simulation Graphical Modeling and Analysis) is a computer graphics environment for building, testing, and experimenting with discrete event simulation models on personal computers. It uses symbolic representations (computer animation) to depict the logic of large, complex discrete event systems for easier understanding and has proven itself…

Papers and presentations at the 1971 symposium of the Digital Equipment Computer Users Society (DECUS) are presented. The papers deal with medical and physiological applications, computer graphics, simulation education, small computer executive systems, management information tools, data acquisition systems, and high level languages. Although many…

Discusses two uses of microcomputers for learning disabled (LD) children--one uses them to do traditional things more efficiently; the other includes involvement of LD children with computer programing, particularly LOGO, and use of simulation and word processing programs. Reasons why LOGO is ideal for LD children are identified. (MBR)

This supplement updates the first supplement to the original catalog of available PLATO systems instructional materials. The original catalog was published in April 1980 and the first supplement in November 1981. The lessons described in the current publication have been used in actual instructional situations or have had adequate testing to…

This supplement updates the original catalog of available PLATO system instructional materials which was published in April 1980. The lessons described have been used in actual instructional situations, or have had adequate testing to guarantee that the files are in working order. Printed directly from the CERL online catalog, "unicat,"…

This comprehensive catalog of available instructional materials for use with the PLATO system lists completed lessons which have been used in actual instructional situations or have had adequate testing to ensure that the files are in working order. Printed directly from the CERL online catalog, "uicat," the information provided for each…

In the field of chemical engineering, interactive process models can simulate the dynamic behavior and analysis of chemical processes. DYFLO was the process simulation program selected as a foundation for development of interactive programs for computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in chemical engineering. Interactive Computing and time sharing…

This curriculum guide is one of nine such guides developed for an Alberta high school business education program. Its content covers the main subject area or strand of computer processing. Subject to the constraints outlined in the guide, the modules are to be formatted into three- or four-credit courses within each strand. Introductory materials…
