A theory of computation for caricatures of frontal faces has been developed and implemented in computer graphics. The caricature generator starts with a digitized image of a face and distorts a line drawing representation of the face relative to a norm. This transformation emphasizes perceptually significant information, reduces noise, and exploits some of the same mechanisms used in human memory for faces.","PeriodicalId":72321,"journal":{"name":"ASSETS.

They contain information describing the design of complicated “engineered” objects, such as ships, buildings, mechanical devices, and integrated circuits. These objects are designed by teams of engineers who need concurrent, yet controlled access to the data. Very often the view of an object as seen by one group will be different from that of others (e.g., the plumber's view of a building is very different from the electrician's view). The members of the panel include Mr. Steven Hoffman, Calma Corporation, Mr. Douglas Gilbert, Sperry-Univac, and Dr. Roger Haskin, IBM. After a brief presentation by each panelist describing his experience with design data and his assessment of how it should be managed, the panel will discuss the following questions.

The critical shortage experienced by many installaticns has been attributed to the increase in the demand for qualified data processing persons and a high degree of turnover. While demand is generally related to the steady increase in the number of computers installed, turnover is a unique issue. It is a major factor contributing to the rise in EDP personnel costs. Poor system maintenance and documentation are often the result of frequent changes in personnel. Thus, turnover as a multifaceted issue, warrants serious study. What causes turnover among EDP personnel? What are the indicators of turnover? These and other questions can only be answered in the context of a controlled setting, using objective criteria. The objective of this panel is to (1) review the empirical literature that addresses the turnover issue in EDP personnel, (2) investigate the causes and incidence of turnover based in part on the panelists' experience in their respective organizations, and (3)suggest guidelines for stabilizing analysts and programmers at work. Preliminary findings of a recent empirical study of turnover in the MIS division of two major industries will be reviewed.","PeriodicalId":72321,"journal":{"name":"ASSETS.

Although this task has always required advanced technical skills, many companies do not realize that the designer of Telecommunications networks needs to also have strong managerial and systems design skills. For the past fifteen years, Data Communications Networks have been considered by most data processing technicians as nothing more than additional equipment (controllers, modems, terminals, communications lines, etc.) to be installed to allow the Users some means to remotely access data files located at the main computer site. These same technicians have failed to realize the needs of the User community, and failed even worse to take into account the large economic investments and possible returns associated with the installation of communications hardware.","PeriodicalId":72321,"journal":{"name":"ASSETS.
