An outline of biological systematics and the kind of data that comprise it is presented, together with a description of one data convention used in systematics and a method for computerizing synonymic and associated data. Systematics consist of descriptions of species, names applied to these species, and supportive field data such as geographic…

VOCAL (Voice Oriented Curriculum Author Language) is designed to facilitate the authoring of computer assisted curricula which incorporate highly interactive audio and text presentations. Lessons written in VOCAL are intended to be patterned after the style of informal classroom lectures. VOCAL contains features that allow the author to specify…

In context of an instrumentation course, four ocean engineering students set out to design and construct a micro-computer based data acquisition system that would be compatible with the University's CYBER host computer. The project included hardware design in the area of sampling, analog-to-digital conversion and timing coordination. It also…

The broad patterns exhibited by history museums and their collections--the politico-geographical base, the size and collections, unsystematic acquisition, wide range of object types, and lack of categorization, and the lack of scholarly discipline to help development--differ from those of art and science museums, making their electronic data…

This study of ranking algorithms used in a Boolean environment is based on an evaluation of factors affecting document ranking by information retrieval systems. The algorithms were decomposed into term weighting schemes and similarity measures, representatively selected from those known to exist in information retrieval environments, before being…

The major accomplishments in the development of a management system for academic library collection development were (1) the development of translation tables which express HEGIS (Higher Education General Information Survey) taxonomy terms as sets of LC (Library of Congress) class numbers; (2) the use of these tables to compare library…

TECHNOLOGICAL FORECASTING (PROJECTING FUTURE TECHNOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIES AND PROBABILITIES IN RELATION TO CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND RESEARCH AND IN RELATION TO POTENTIAL INTERACTIONS WITH SOCIETY, WITH THE ECONOMY, AND WITH THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT) BY MEANS OF COMPUTER UTILIZATION HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODOLOGY AND CURRICULUMS…

This guide to programed learning materials provides teachers and industrial training personnel with information capable of immediate update by means of electronic data processing. Published twice each year, the Guide consists of four parts: appendices (methods of reporting the effectiveness of programed materials, bibliographies, periodicals,…

In this institute, the participants were trained to use peripheral computer related equipment. They were taught Fortran programming skills so they might write and redimension statistical formulary programs, and they were trained to assemble data so they might access computers via both card and punched-tape input. The objectives of the Institute…

The Special Services Unit Tracking System is a computerized system used to monitor the special education programs for children with orthopedic, visual, and hearing impairments.
