Stonebraker, Michael; And Others – 1976
The currently operational version of the INGRES data base management system gives a relational view of data, supports two high level, non-procedural data sublanguages, and runs as a collection of user processes on top of a UNIX operating system. The authors stress the design decisions and tradeoffs in relation to (1) structuring the system into…

Turner, Ronald C. – 1974
A new system of computer-assisted instruction (CAI), developed at Whitworth College, is proposed called PIRATS. It is said to have the following advantages: (1) it uses an author language; (2) it provides facility for branching and responses to unpredicted answers; (3) lesson text is prepared off-line; (4) pictures can be used to accompany the…

Goldstein, Ira P.; Miller, Mark L. – 1976
A unified theory of planning and debugging is explored by designing a problem solving program called PATN. PATN uses an augmented transition network (ATN) to represent a broad range of planning techniques, including identification, decomposition, and reformulation. (The ATN is a simple yet powerful formalism which has been effectively utilized in…

Lama, U. G. – International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 1978
Describes the User Template Mode, a system in which a user, by means of a simple catechism, can initially select all the desired parameters and options from a set of generalized building blocks. Thereafter, he need only invoke the template to obtain his customized interactive display automatically. (Author/VT)

Klahr, David; Carver, Sharon McCoy – Cognitive Psychology, 1988
Two studies (N=56) assessed an instruction program designed to teach elementary school children a complex computer-programming skill--how to debug LOGO graphics and listing-processing programs. The use of a precise computer simulation model proved to be the crux of the instructional model's success. (TJH)
