RESEARCH ON COMPUTER-AUGMENTED INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This report presents results of a research and experimental project in computer-augmented information management. The report is, in itself a product of the project: With the exception of 'front matter,' the entire report was composed, edited, and produced with on-line and off-line computer aids. For this project, the techniques of computer aids were applied to two areas: task monitoring and program design. The processes and techniques developed offer a promising beginning to computer-aided programming design extending from initial specification to final debugging in a unified design record that grows and evolves to complete final documentation. The processes and techniques also offer promise in increasing the productivity of individuals and groups of programmers. Future work envisioned for information-management systems such as that used in this study include program design records, external reference documentation, and user reference manuals. As an appendix, there is attached 'User's Guide: Man-Machine Information System,' revised June 1965.
