Advances in Computer Programming Management. THOMASA. RULLO(Heyden, Philadelphia, PA) The role of a computer programming manager varies widely, depending upon the application base and the system developmental stage. Duties range from application planning to scheduling to implementation and testing. Further, the complex technical requisites of the job are tempered by the very real need to deal with and manage talented, creative, and often high-strung individuals, Moreover. the combined effect of increasing complexity of technology versus the changing attitudes of staff toward structured work environments imply that the mob will get a lot tougher. It has been our intent in the design and development of Adrances in Computer Programming Management to enable our readers to access the broadest possible range of experience and thought within the structure of their information needs. The authors and material were selected with that thought in mind.
Machine-Aided Image Analysis 1978. W. E. GARDNER {The Institute of Physics, London) This conference was organised in order to discuss the "'state-of-the-art" in the applications of image analysis. In addition, the base was deliberately made broad so that all aspects could be considered during the meeting. The contributed papers covered the hardware and software in current use, developments in processing (with special consideration being given to the application of optical methods) and a wide range of applications in the fields of medicine, non-destructive testing and remote sensing.
Computing Principles and Techniques. B. L. VICKERY(Adam Hilger Ltd. Bristol) Digital computing is associated with the application of digital techniques to the solution of problems. Its dominance is largely due to its adaptability, with considerable varying tasks often being performed by the same basic hardware structure. Although this text is part of a series primarily aimed at medical physicists, it should be of use in other disciplines as the digital principles themselves remain invariant. Only Chapter 9 of this text specifically considers medical physics applications, though the concepts contained therein are of a general nature.
Data Acquisition for Signal Analysis. K. BEAUCHAMPand C. YUEN (Alden Press, Oxford) The past decade has seen rapid advances in the methods and equipment for data acquisition applications, largely due to the further development of digital and intergatedcircuit technology, which has made available new techniques and more sophisticated and extremely reliable components as well as systems. With this advance comes the increased need for comprehensive and comprehensible information concerning the way in which such pieces of equipment are to be used, as well as their limitations under particular conditions. The present book is an attempt to bridge this information gap. This book aims to supply the range of background and general knowledge required. It is intended to complement the authors" earlier book Diqital Methods for Signal Analysis, which discusses the data analysis aspects, only leaving the primary problem of data acquisition to the present volume.
Advances in Data Processing Management. THOMASA. RULLO(Heyden, Philadelphia, PA) The evolutionary change in the role of EDP Manager plays within an organization has precipitated a like change in his information requirements. Managing no longer means simply getting the machine to work (although that still can pose quite a problem). The expansion of the influence of the computer into all areas of an organization, coupled with the demystification of the technology within the management ranks, has removed many of the traditional technical barriers while affording the manager new opportunities for professional growth.
