Management problems of an aerospace computer center

Abstract

At this session it seems to me that you might be interested in several of the more-or-less technical facets of the direction of a large aerospace computer installation. Consequently I will avoid competing with our environment by discussing the ubiquitous problems of recruiting, of personnel motivation, of obtaining cooperation among the members of the various computing groups, or even the basic problems inherent in convincing our computer folks that the whole computer center does not exist for them at all, but rather as a service for the other parts of our company.
