Forecasting the impacts of new computing technology is similarly not well understood. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that a growing array of computing arrangements are emerging that reinforce or stratify existing social arrangements. Whether these new arrangements are more or less socially desirable depends upon how one interprets their meaning and value. Thus, the purpose of this panel is to bring together leading scholars currently examining the broader consequences of new computing arrangements to discuss what might lie ahead.\u0000 Most computing use centers around the work routines for a growing number of people. One form of consequences emerging from new modes of computing use can be seen in terms of the shift of resources (social, material, and otherwise) from one arrangement to another. When people value and seek to control local resource arrangements, these resource shifts represent social costs and benefits. Therefore, examining the consequences of different computing arrangements in a variety of work settings is a common research strategy for the participating panelists.","PeriodicalId":218138,"journal":{"name":"ACM '84","volume":"71 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":"124426539","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}

The types of changes that we can expect are already being reflected in the emerging building blocks for the Fifth Generation.\u0000 As our dependency on the computerized environment, as well as our need for easy access to informational resources increases, there is a corresponding increase in tools and mechanisms designed to allow us to quickly and easily recover from many types of natural and man-made disasters.\u0000 Today, we are just beginning to address the need for uninterruptable access. By the Fifth Generation, we will have solved problems which today appear to be so complex as to be impossible to solve.","PeriodicalId":218138,"journal":{"name":"ACM '84","volume":"32 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":"116991125","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}

An introduction to the purpose and content of design documentation is given, along with a description of current practices which are used in the development process.\u0000 It is recommended that the documents be developed using automated methods. The code is then implemented directly into the files containing the specifications.\u0000 These techniques should result in better configuration management and control of software changes. It is more likely that the specifications will be kept current throughout the life cycle of the system. The documentation should be more useful to the maintenance software engineer. The methods should be less costly compared to current techniques.","PeriodicalId":218138,"journal":{"name":"ACM '84","volume":"43 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":"125961678","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}
