This dissertation presents a novel theory of event memory along with an associated computational model that embodies the claims of view which is integrated within a cognitive architecture. Event memory is a general-purpose storage for personal past experience. Literature on event memory reveals that people can remember events by both the…

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)

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…

An English summary is provided for the article which gives the opportunity to solve original problems in linguistics, mathematics and computing science as well as to design descriptive and typological methods in archaeology. (6 references) (Author/SJ)

The Canadian Department of Education developed this manual to provide teachers and administrators with information about the potential use of computers. Part I describes at length the five components of the computer input, output, storage, control, and arithmetic/logic functions) and gives a discussion of computer languages, programing, batch…

This thesis describes the requirements for a buffer storage device, with respect to other system components and its own limitations, which is designed to aid in the economic transmission of processed data from a central computer to distant terminals. Proceeding from the fact that tariff rates on wide band educational television channels are…

This document explains recent developments in computer science and information systems of interest to the educational manager. A brief history of computers is included, together with an examination of modern computers' capabilities. Various features of card, tape, and disk information storage systems are presented. The importance of time-sharing…

The papers and discussions of the 1975 Pacific Region meeting of the Association for Computing Machinery are presented. Topics included (1) the current and emerging state of the art in data management software and hardware, (2) relational systems with particular attention to new developments in systems for relational data bases, (3) advances in…

This bibliography lists journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, theses, and instructional aids written by the staff of Project Intrex at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A listing of presentations given but not available in manuscript is also included. The publications listed report results of research sponsored by the National…

Examines the expansion of data services in Western Europe after the computer revolution. Stresses that distinctive career lines and eventually a distinctive profession must be created to cope with the proliferation of data and the increase in demand for access to this data. (Author/DB)

Based on the idea that the current framework for organizing electronic data does not take advantage of the mind's ability to make connections among disparate pieces of information, several projects at universities around the country are taking new approaches to classification and storage of vast amounts of computerized data. The new systems take…

This paper describes the advances in storing and accessing large resources of data as well as possibilities for utilizing these archives in research, instruction, and policy planning. Particular reference is made to the Project TALENT Data Bank. Project TALENT is described briefly. A section summarizes the state of computer technology with respect…

This paper provides a brief history of computers. It explains basic computer principles and compares computer capabilities. Subjects such as input/output, binary logic, storage, and cost are also discussed. (Author)

This annual report of the Department of Computer and Information Science at Ohio State University for July 1977-June 1978 covers the department's organizational structure, objectives, highlights of department activities (such as grants and faculty appointments), instructional programs/course offerings, and facilities. In the second half of the…

The computational complexity of a formal process for the construction of term classes for information retrieval is examined. While the process is proven to be difficult computationally, heuristic methods are applied. Experimental results are obtained to illustrate the maximum possible improvement in system performance of retrieval using the formal…
