The Microcomputer Catalyst
Microcomputer it is a word many of us first heard only a couple of years
ago. Yet the technology this word represents holds promise of tremendous
change. The changes catalyzed by microcomputing and its associated
technologies may alter the fundamental nature of information handling in
all its forms. This, of course, means that libraries and information centers
will be profoundly affected by this new technology. This paper attempts to
indicate some possible directions of the changes prompted by microcomputing
technology. However, these ideas are offered only with the disclaimer
that technology in this area is developing so rapidly that no one
involved in computing can fully understand its implications. Hardware
designers and software engineers involved in microcomputing are themselves
still attempting to discern the values and possible uses of microcomputers.
The only "given" most would agree upon is the recognition that
microcomputers will alter the basic manner in which computers are used
and viewed in our society.published or submitted for publicatio

Technology Refusal
Analyses of the deployment of technology in schools usually note its lack of impact on the day-to-day values and practices of teachers, administrators, and students. This is generally construed as an implementation failure, or as resulting from a temperamental shortcoming on the part of teachers or technologists. It is predicated on the tacit assumption that the technology itself is value-free. This paper proposes that technology is never neutral: that its values and practices must always either support or subvert those of the organization into which it is placed; and that the failures of technology to alter the look-and-feel of schools more generally results from a mismatch between the values of school organization and those embedded within the contested technology
An operating system for future aerospace vehicle computer systems
The requirements for future aerospace vehicle computer operating systems are examined in this paper. The computer architecture is assumed to be distributed with a local area network connecting the nodes. Each node is assumed to provide a specific functionality. The network provides for communication so that the overall tasks of the vehicle are accomplished. The O/S structure is based upon the concept of objects. The mechanisms for integrating node unique objects with node common objects in order to implement both the autonomy and the cooperation between nodes is developed. The requirements for time critical performance and reliability and recovery are discussed. Time critical performance impacts all parts of the distributed operating system; e.g., its structure, the functional design of its objects, the language structure, etc. Throughout the paper the tradeoffs - concurrency, language structure, object recovery, binding, file structure, communication protocol, programmer freedom, etc. - are considered to arrive at a feasible, maximum performance design. Reliability of the network system is considered. A parallel multipath bus structure is proposed for the control of delivery time for time critical messages. The architecture also supports immediate recovery for the time critical message system after a communication failure
