With the appearance of CAD on microcomputers, smaller firms are also moving in that direction. The driving force varies: fascination with the new technology, expectation of expanded capabilities or greater economy, desire to be current, fear of not being competitive. In architecture, as elsewhere, the inconclusive debates of the past decades on the virtues and vices of automation have proved irrelevant: the machine is creeping in on its own steam, wanted or not, and its momentum is growing.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128888395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In computer networks, messages or information is passed from one host machine to another machine or terminal along the network. In a decentralized access system, users in different locations are, in actuality, accessing only one centralized host machine. Almost from the introduction of second-generation timesharing computing equipment in the early 60's, it became apparent that the easy transfer of information between computers would be advantageous. To this end, research into the subject of computer networks began in the late 1960's funded by the U.S. Department of Defense through its Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Since the implementation of the first network developed by this agency, tagged ARPANET, computer networking and its implications have had and will continue to have a profound effect on society. You need only watch a few television commercials that introduce you to home computers connected to various networking services such as computerized bill payment, stock market reporting and the like to be convinced of the important role this relatively new technology will play in our lives.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121092918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article will describe the general principles for securing source code integrity in the computer services department of a medium to large size organization. It is addressed to the EDP manager, auditor, or user who has primary administrative, rather than technical, responsibility for the security of such code. My treatment of these issues will inevitably reflect my own primary experience of them, which has been with mainframe batch data processing applications. But the underlying principles of source code security are the same for all types of software, whether batch, interactive, or micro. Accordingly, I may hope that my discussion of these problems will be of some use also to those who must manage other types of data processing.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116936474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More and more academics with excellent credentials--Ph.D.s in subjects like English, history, or archaeology--are begin denied appointments in the departments in which they should be employed. Their inability to obtain appointments may, of course, result simply from the chronic mismatch in American universities between the need for young faculty and the available candidates for such employment.

I believe it is because I represent a unique perspective towards higher education. This perspective has come about because of several unique aspects of the Veterinary Program at Mississippi State University. First our organizational structure is different than that of most other colleges or universities. For example, we don't have committees; we don't even use the word committee; we use advisory board. What would be the curriculum committee at other institutions is called the Academic Board in our institution. The Academic Board serves as an advisory group to the Academic Program Director. Now, it is possible, within our administrative structure, for a director of a program to ignore the overwhelming advice of his advisory board and make decisions that are contrary to, perhaps, the unanimous vote of the advisory board. You don't stay a director too long if you do that, but it is possible. Things are not, for the most part, done by committee vote.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122725724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
