COMPUTER PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES FOR INTELLIGENCE ANALYST APPLICATION
Abstract
Modifications were made on the monitor and application programs of the AN/GYA complex. The multi-processing monitor can handle dynamic tape allocation, and it permits updating of the drum-disk library. Additional distribution functions have been programmed for inclusion in STORM and on the AN/GYA disk. A list-processing language has been defined, and is being programmed, which will facilitate inclusion of prototype studies in the lay user's system. Programs have been developed to permit experimental runs for the determination of statistical word association. The clear text system has been augmented by novel encoding features which permit faster search. Pre-processing of an extended data base is under way. A study was prepared proposing the use of an adaptive thesaurus as an experimental tool to quantify properties of indexing systems.
