Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Computers Went to Sea explores the history of the United States Navy's secret development of code-breaking computers and their adaptation to solve a critical fleet radar data handling problem in the Navy's first seaborne digital computer system - that went to sea in 1962. This is the only book written on the United States Navy's initial application of shipboard digital computers to naval warfare. Considered one of the most successful projects ever undertaken by the US Navy, the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) was the subject of numerous studies attempting to pinpoint the reason for the systems inordinate success in the face of seemingly impossible technical challenges and stiff resistance from some in the military. The system's success precipitated a digital revolution in naval warfare systems. Dave Boslaugh details the innovations developed by the NTDS project managers including: project management techniques, modular digital hardware for ship systems, top-down modular computer programming techniques, innovative computer program documentation, and other novel real-time computer system concepts. Automated military systems users and developers, real-time process control systems designers, automated system project managers, and digital technology history students will find this account of a United States military organization's initial foray into computerization interesting and thought provoking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, numerically controlled (N/C) flame cutting systems have established themselves firmly as an integral part of the shipbuilding industry, but the computer software systems which have been developed to generate the N/C instructions prove to be a continually growing and expanding component of the process. A number of such systems are commercially available, all vigorously developing new capabilities which are marketed as successive versions of the systems. This paper cites directions of new development in a number of the leading systems and generalizes to identify several visible trends in the development of shipbuilding software systems. These trends are explained in terms of the technical and economic mechanisms driving them. We should expect these trends to culminate in a new payoff of benefits distinct from the advantages which we currently realize from N/C processes. The pathway from the present situation to the realization of this payoff contains pitfalls, however. This paper will attempt to illuminate one such hazard which has been underpublicized, which we can do something about, and which we must act on, now or the opportunity will be lost.

Download or read book Smart Ships written by Yang Xiao and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart shipping is a future method for transporting ocean cargo and exploring the resources of oceans for medical drugs, food, energy resources, and other products. A smart ship is an integration of shipping with many fields such as fishing, manufacturing, navigation, communication, computing, control, sensing, etc., to provide better shipping and services. The purpose of this edited book is to provide state‐of‐the‐art approaches and novel technologies for smart ships, covering a range of topics in these areas so that it will be an excellent reference book for the researchers, students, and professionals in these areas. It presents the fundamental technologies needed to build smart ships, and gives a clear explanation of them. This book will serve as a good reference for researchers to know the state of the art and to discover uncovered territory and develop new applications, as well as being a guideline for building future smart ships. Yang Xiao is a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA. Tieshan Li is a Full Professor in the School of Automation Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impelled by a demand for increasing American strength in the new global economy, many educators, public officials, business leaders, and parents argue that school computers and Internet access will improve academic learning and prepare students for an information-based workplace. But just how valid is this argument? In Oversold and Underused, one of the most respected voices in American education argues that when teachers are not given a say in how the technology might reshape schools, computers are merely souped-up typewriters and classrooms continue to run much as they did a generation ago. In his studies of early childhood, high school, and university classrooms in Silicon Valley, Larry Cuban found that students and teachers use the new technologies far less in the classroom than they do at home, and that teachers who use computers for instruction do so infrequently and unimaginatively. Cuban points out that historical and organizational economic contexts influence how teachers use technical innovations. Computers can be useful when teachers sufficiently understand the technology themselves, believe it will enhance learning, and have the power to shape their own curricula. But these conditions can't be met without a broader and deeper commitment to public education beyond preparing workers. More attention, Cuban says, needs to be paid to the civic and social goals of schooling, goals that make the question of how many computers are in classrooms trivial.
