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.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Embedded Training (ET) involves programming and using the extra capacity of Army tactical data processing systems to train tactical system users in how to use the system. The Army Research Institute (ARI) has developed embedded training that does not require previous knowledge by the trainee and that progresses from basic individual skills to complex team interaction. It can also be used in a stand-alone mode to teach non-system skills, as the initial test demonstrated. The initial test of the ET concept successfully used the PLANIT author language on the Army's Developmental Tactical Operations System (DEVTOS) to teach basic infantry skills and GED math. A subsequent test examined the ET concept using TACFIRE (Tactical Fire Direction System) as the target computer system. To accomplish this, PLANIT-based CAI software was translated into the language of the TACFIRE computer and installed. The latter, field evaluation of the primary role for ET demonstrated that ET is at least as effective as traditional methods of training. A preliminary cost and training effectiveness analysis indicates a saving of over 6 million dollars if the ET procedure is used in place of the system proposed i nthe original TACFIRE Individual-Collective Training Plan (ICTP). Current indications are that ET will be adopted in place of the original ICTP. (Author).
Download or read book All My Friends Live in My Computer written by Samira Rajabi and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All My Friends Live in my Computer combines personal stories, media studies, and interdisciplinary theories to examine case studies from three unique parts of society. From illness narratives among breast cancer patients to political upheaval among Iranian-Americans, this book examines what people do when they go online after they have suffered a trauma. It offers in-depth academic analysis alongside deeply personal stories and case studies to take the reader on a journey through rapidly changing digital/social worlds. When people are traumatized, their worlds stop making sense, and All My Friends Live in My Computer explores how everyday people use social media to try and make a new world for themselves and others who are suffering. Through its attention to personal stories and application of media theory to new contexts, this book highlights how, when given the tools, people will make meaning in creative, novel, and healing ways.
Download or read book National Defense written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO was requested to report on the Navy's program for development of new tactical computers. Concern was expressed as to whether the Navy obtained maximum competition and provided for the early phase-in of the new Department of Defense (DOD) standard computer programming language called Ada. The objectives of the review were to determine: (1) why the Navy did not get more than two manufacturers to make offers on the AN/UYK-43 and AN/UYK-44 development; (2) if and how well the Navy can implement Ada; and (3) what the Navy needs to do in the future to enhance competition and Ada effectiveness. Competition for the AN/UYK-43 and AN/UYK-44 computers was limited. GAO believes that the Navy made a concerted effort to get companies to make offers on the computers the Navy specified, as evidenced by continued industry participation in various project stages. However, limited competition resulted for a number of reasons. Many U.S. computer manufacturers prefer more latitude to determine how to meet a customer's needs than the Navy allowed in its proposals. The Navy will be able to convert to Ada and plans to use Ada for new weapon systems programs and major upgrades. However, the consensus of the industry representatives is that the Navy will not be able to obtain anticipated Ada software economies because the instruction set architectures specified are not suited to Ada. The Navy defined these specified architectures to obtain further benefits from software expenditures. The current Navy computers are becoming inadequate. Increased requirements for new weapons system applications necessitate new computers to maintain a high level fleet capability. The Navy has begun to develop a concept for replacement of the computers. Their objectives are increased competition and faster technology infusion.
