The study of this dissertation provides a solution to a very specific problem instance in the area of data mining, data warehousing, and service-oriented architecture in publishing and newspaper industries. The research question focuses on the integration of data mining and data warehousing. The research problem focuses on the development of…

Technology that once involved a scary, mysterious machine the size of a small house now fits on desktops and commonly appears in offices, schools, and homes. Computers allow for processing, storing and transmitting data between two or more people virtually anywhere in the world. They also allow users to save documents, presentations, photos and…

Describes the latest technology in videotape cassette systems and other magnetic storage devices and their possible effects on optical data disks. Highlights include Honeywell's Very Large Data Store (VLDS); Exabyte's tape cartridge storage system; standards for tape drives; and Masstor System's videotape cartridge system. (LRW)

This report outlines a generalized storage scheme for large files of highly structured data, or catalogs, and describes their realization on magnetic tape. Each datum, large or small, is assigned to one of a number of data classes of which a user may define any number. The over-all organization of a catalog is given by a map that imposes a tree…

Describes the advantages of optical data disk-based storage systems including cost, performance, and space required. Conversion from tape-based to optical disk-based data management via a flexible, hardware-based optical archiving system is discussed. (Author/LRW)

Explores the new storage technology of optical data disks and introduces a data structure, the inverted signature tree, for storing data on optical data disks for efficient text searching. The inverted signature tree approach is compared to the use of text signatures and the B+ tree. (22 references) (Author/CLB)

Investigates applicability of inverted file processing in magnetic bubble memories by presenting four magnetic bubble memory models as storage mediums: one based on a major-minor loop configuration; one utilizing a decoder design on a magnetic bubble memory chip; and two based on different structural configurations of the first two. (MBR)

Holography is one of the most promising methods now under research for the achievement of high bulk storage with fast random access at a reasonable cost. (Author)

A wide range of computer crimes and the need for computer security are discussed. (MK)

The Inverted File Information Retrieval System (INFIRS), is a document search system which offers a comprehensive range of search facilities. It has been developed at the United Kingdom Chemical Information Service (UKCIS) as a general purpose retrieval tool, suitable for handling a wide variety of data-bases (both free-text and controlled…

This study sought to design an effective management information system for an Illinois community college. It was developed by (1) displaying all the college activities as a system with six functionally independent subsystems, (2) reducing subsystem data to basic elements, (3) analyzing administrator response to choice of data items, (4)…

Intended for use by data processing installation managers, operating personnel, and technical staff, this publication provides a comprehensive set of care and handling guidelines for the physical/chemical preservation of computer magnetic storage media--principally computer magnetic tapes--and their stored data. Emphasis is placed on media…

While data processing cannot, as yet, provide automatic translation, computer assistance is valuable for information storage and retrieval in dictionary work, text-related glossaries, and text banks. (CK)

Introduces some algorithmic methods, for which no pre-editing is necessary, for automatically "lemmatising" raw text (changing raw text to an equivalent version in which all inflected words are artificially transformed to their dictionary look-up form). The results of a study of these methods, which used a German Text, are also given. (KM)

The purpose of this article is to describe a system for protecting the anonymity of subjects in longitudinal research and for maintaining the security of data files. The basic system comes from the American Council on Education Cooperative Institutional Research Program. Data is collected from questionnaires, and converted to magnetic tape.…
