This publication is a sample issue of a new reference publication "designed to meet the growing demand for substantial, timely coverage of the literature dealing with the interfaces of linguistics, computation, information science, and related fields." Prepared by the Language Information Network and Clearinghouse System (LINCS) at the Center for…

The author feels that it is legitimate to center a survey of the language sciences around the field of linguistics. This survey is based in part on his own view of the scientific study of language, and in part on an informal sampling of the literature available to him. He gives first a characterization of the field of linguistics, then a…

A two-year experiment in educational computer usage and program exchange sponsored by the National Science Foundation is described in the body of this review. The purpose of the project was to set up a prototype organization of five university computer centers in order to establish a set of procedures that would facilitate the efficient sharing of…

The first part of this catalog of nonprint materials lists alphabetically available films, filmstrips, audiotapes, and records useful to those in computer science education. Also included in this section is: grade level, running time, whether color or black-and-white, and the rental cost. Part two is a subject index. The final section of the…

A computer-based system, called the FLOW system, was used in experimental studies of human learning. The student learns a simple computer language from printed instructions and can run his programs interactively on the FLOW system. An automated tutor simulates a human tutor who watches over the student and gives help when the student has…

Several computer programs were developed to solve various versions of the quadratic capacitated facilities location problem. Matrices, which represent various business costs, are defined for the factors of sites, facilities, customers, commodities, and production units. The objective of the program is to find an optimization matrix for the lowest…

The course outline has been prepared as a guide to help the student develop the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the field of data processing. By learning the purpose and principles of compiler programs and operating systems, the student will become familiar with advanced data processing procedures that are representative of computer…

Outlined in this pamphlet are basic activities to teach students flowcharting techniques, logic principles, machine description, various memory storage devices, binary arithmetic, and input/output devices. Data processing principles are reviewed. The course objective is to prepare students for advanced courses in data processing. Course goals,…

The following course outline has been prepared as a guide to help the student develop the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the field of data processing. Problems are presented to the student to allow him to apply techniques already learned to increase his knowledge of ways to solve processing problems. A prerequisite to the course is…

A descriptive summary is given of the technical characteristics of existing computer networks, including data communication technology and configuration related to support of resource sharing services for a computer network. Included are discussions of terminal support capabilities for the communications network and a development of relevant…

The curriculum guide is designed to help high school administrators, teachers, and others to develop or expand a program to introduce all students to general computer capabilities, to provide certain students with a problem solving tool, or to prepare other students for entry into the job market. Help is given in planning and organizing the…

A bulk data input processor which is available for the Rapidly Extensible Language (REL) English versions is described. In REL English versions, statements that declare names of data items and their interrelationships normally are lines from a terminal or cards in a batch input stream. These statements provide a convenient means of declaring some…

The greatest challenge facing education today is the need to plan adequately for the future. Effective educational planning can work only if all elements of the community are involved in the decisionmaking process, the relevant factors and variables in the educational environment are considered, and the nature of the learning/teaching process in…

Designed to provide a useful tool for the instruction and increased awareness of the growing number of computer users throughout the world, this edition of the dictionary was based on an information search which provided 22,000 separate definitions and concept explanations. Appended are an introduction to computer system principles and procedures,…

The unprecedented growth of the information sources concerning science and technology makes it particularly urgent that the processes of information storage, information retrieval, information processing according to needs, representation of results and their storage in preparation for the subsequent processing stages be mechanized. With this end…
