This talk will illustrate how map database access techniques can be used interactively by pointing at imagery that is in camera correspondence with a geodetic coordinate system; map knowledge is used to extract roads, buildings, and other features, and to generate 3D scenes by fusion of information from traditional geographic information systems, semantic oriented spatial databases, and imagery.

A microcomputer differs from a mainframe or a minicomputer in size, cost and power. Typically, micros are smaller, cost less and do not have the throughput of a mainframe. However, with today's technological improvements, microcomputers have surpassed the mainframes of yesteryear. Local processing and small data bases have become usual applications.

Design data management is an emerging sub-discipline of database systems that is concerned with the management of data quite unlike that found in conventional banking, personnel, or order-entry data- bases. They contain information describing the design of complicated “engineered” objects, such as ships, buildings, mechanical devices, and integrated circuits. These objects are designed by teams of engineers who need concurrent, yet controlled access to the data. Very often the view of an object as seen by one group will be different from that of others (e.g., the plumber's view of a building is very different from the electrician's view). The members of the panel include Mr. Steven Hoffman, Calma Corporation, Mr. Douglas Gilbert, Sperry-Univac, and Dr. Roger Haskin, IBM. After a brief presentation by each panelist describing his experience with design data and his assessment of how it should be managed, the panel will discuss the following questions. Audience participation is invited, of course.

The data processing professional is a valued asset in every established computer facility. The critical shortage experienced by many installaticns has been attributed to the increase in the demand for qualified data processing persons and a high degree of turnover. While demand is generally related to the steady increase in the number of computers installed, turnover is a unique issue. It is a major factor contributing to the rise in EDP personnel costs. Poor system maintenance and documentation are often the result of frequent changes in personnel. Thus, turnover as a multifaceted issue, warrants serious study. What causes turnover among EDP personnel? What are the indicators of turnover? These and other questions can only be answered in the context of a controlled setting, using objective criteria. The objective of this panel is to (1) review the empirical literature that addresses the turnover issue in EDP personnel, (2) investigate the causes and incidence of turnover based in part on the panelists' experience in their respective organizations, and (3)suggest guidelines for stabilizing analysts and programmers at work. Preliminary findings of a recent empirical study of turnover in the MIS division of two major industries will be reviewed.

The concept of “NETWORKING” has traditionally been equated to the technical task of connecting equipment via some communications facility to provide the User with access to Data Processing files and equipment. Although this task has always required advanced technical skills, many companies do not realize that the designer of Telecommunications networks needs to also have strong managerial and systems design skills. For the past fifteen years, Data Communications Networks have been considered by most data processing technicians as nothing more than additional equipment (controllers, modems, terminals, communications lines, etc.) to be installed to allow the Users some means to remotely access data files located at the main computer site. These same technicians have failed to realize the needs of the User community, and failed even worse to take into account the large economic investments and possible returns associated with the installation of communications hardware.

When computers really come to be useful and self-documenting tools there are new kinds of management problems. They require some innovative solutions. This paper presents some possible methods for dealing with; a)writers in a “distributed” office b)managing the quality of documents that are assembled paragraph by paragraph by a user on-line c)implications of mixed-media computer presentations in real time, on-line.

One of the major tasks of a personnel psychologist is to match persons with jobs. This industrial match-making is a dynamic enterprise which continuously strives for improvement in its psychometric methods, as well as its responsiveness to the needs of society at large.From a psychometric point of view, several recent methodological advances have greatly improved the science of test development and the utility of test-based selection decisions or person-job matching. One such methodological advance is latent trait theory 4_ a precise mathematical statement about the relationship between test performance and the underlying abilities or aptitudes of the individual. Although this particular mathematical theory has been known to measurement specialists for test-related problems, however, is a more recent development. Other recent methodological advances include improved procedures for assessing the validity and utility of selection decisions in a person-job matching enterprise.

The Data and Analysis Center for Software (DACS) is being established at the Rome Air Development Center (RADC) to serve as a focal point for scientific and technical information on software technology. The major functions of DACS will be discussed. They are to develop and maintain a computer database of software data, establish a library containing technical reports and a lessons-learned file, identify data requirements for research efforts and present as a guideline for collecting data, analyze the data in the database and produce data and information reports, establish a current awareness program including the publication of newsletters and involvement in technical meeting to disseminate information, produce and distribute data subsets, data compendiums, state-of-the-art reports and bibliographies, and provide consultation and inquiry services. The status of the current database will also be discussed. The majority of the database consists of error data; i.e. the contents of Software Problem Reports and Software Modification Notices acquired by RADC form six large software development projects. There is information on a total of approximately 27,000 errors.

This paper describes a patient management system developed for the Atlanta Hypertension Center. This center is one of fourteen centers established for the assessment of the effects of a rigorous follow-up program on morbidity and mortality resulting from hypertension. This computerized system has been operating since January, 1973, and is being successfully used to store participant information and to provide patient management.
