A USER-ORIENTED INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM,
Abstract
The report describes the equipment configuration and programming of an information processing (IP) system which enables managers to direct their operational organizations more effectively. The complete system consists of the manager-user, his experience and knowledge, the organization's personnel, the data processing equipment, its programs and language and the interactions with the outside world. A data processing system is provided for the manager's use which enables him, without prior programming experience, to rapidly and easily manipulate and to operate on the information that he uses in his decision making processes. A system implementation is described which provides the manageruser with a powerful, fast, convenient information processing tool. The user orientation is achieved by programming the system so that the user can operate the data processing portion of the system in a real-time, on-line fashion. The system permits the user to manipulate and to operate on, in any legitimate way, the information necessary for his decision making. (Author)
