Algorithmic and procedural capabilities 2. Problem formulation and solution techniques 3. Programming languages 4. System structure and use Each of these areas involves extensive considerations and we can not do justice to any of them in the time available. Since problem formulation and solution techniques are so broad a subject in their own right, I shall not attempt to cover this area at all except insofar as it may provide illustrations for the other subjects.","PeriodicalId":170533,"journal":{"name":"ACM National Conference","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969017","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}
