Reviews the potential and methodology of applying grouping algorithms and methodology of applying grouping algorithms to problems in educational research and practice. (JLB)

The article is concerned with developing the Whitehead and Eldars algorithm for problems on more than one floor and an algorithm for the definition of circulation routes in computer-developed building plan arrangements. (Author)

Provides a solution method for the problem of finding an optimal traffic network in its simplest form where there are no congestion costs. (Author)

The purpose of this paper is to distinguish several different ways in which phonemic information might be employed in spelling, to examine some empirical data on the consequences of using these different information sources, to formulate hypotheses about the underlying processes involved, and to suggest possible implications for the learning and…

The program with extensive annotation is available in an unpublished dissertation (Schabert, 1970). (Authors)

This paper deals with quantitative evaluation of the effects of erroneous performance by stemming and similar clustering algorithms in information retrieval systems. (Author)

Describes methods for effecting the partition of information systems consisting of many components and interconnections into subsystems which are later made to interface with one another achieving an overall system. Clustering algorithms for the specific case of information systems are obtained and exemplified. Twenty-seven references are…

Suggests a method for analyzing structure and process in prose using algorithms based on graph theory and rules based in syntax. Describes application of the method to essays written by 52 fourteen year old pupils on a newly learned topic in chemistry. (Author/GC)

An information retrieval system which aspires to retrieval of relevant documents should have second stage which will order topical set to provide maximum informativeness to requestor. A two-stage system concerned only with topicality can be iterated to generate a high recall set and discard imprecise documents without user input. (EJS)

The Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor is presented. (MNS)

This review of four different computer-assisted instruction algorithms concludes that current authoring guides are more concerned with "user orientation" than with instructional principles, and advocates the application of a design model based on Gagne's information processing model of instruction. Nine references are listed. (MER)

A traditional question is whether or not computers shall ever think like humans. This question is redirected to a discussion of whether computers shall ever be truly creative. Creativity is defined and a program is described that is designed to complete creatively a series problem in mathematics. (MP)

A history of perfect numbers is presented, which briefly covers the 27 values known at this time. (MP)
