TOS: A Text Organizing System

This paper reports research undertaken to conceptualize, design and implement a system for automatic indexing, classification and repositing of text items, which may be any aggregates of information in English language on a computer - readable media, in a standard format. The ultimate goal of the research reported here is to devise all automatic processes which would read text items, and then index, classify and reposit them for subsequent search and retrieval. Only portions of the path to this goal have been made fully automatic. These portions consist of all automatic processes as follows: 1. Scanning the text items and assigning candidate index terms (words or phrases) to the items. 2. Discriminating and rejecting candidate index terms determined to be ineffective in forming a classification automatically. 3. Generating a classification system and repositing the text items in accordance with this system

Applied regional monitoring of the vernal advancement and retrogradation (Green wave effect) of natural vegetation in the Great Plains corridor

The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT 2 has shown that digital data products can be effectively employed on a regional basis to monitor changes in vegetation conditions. The TV16 was successfully applied to an extended test site and the Great Plains Corridor in tests of the ability to assess green forage biomass on rangelands as an index to vegetation condition. A strategy for using TV16 on a regional basis was developed and tested. These studies have shown that: (1) for rangelands with good vegetative cover, such as most of the Great Plains, and which are not heavily infested with brush or undesirable weed species, the LANDSAT digital data can provide a good estimate (within 250 kg/ha) of the quantity of green forage biomass, and (2) at least five levels of pasture and range feed conditions can be adequately mapped for extended regions

NBS monograph

From Introduction: "This report is the first of a series intended to provide a selective overview of research and development efforts and requirements in the somewhat overlapping fields of the computer and information sciences and technologies. The projected series of reports will attempt to outline the probable range of R & D activities in the computer and information sciences and technologies through selective reviews of the literature and to develop a reasonable consensus with respect to the opinions of workers in these and potentially related fields as to areas of continuing R & D concern for research program planning or review in these areas.

FBI fingerprint identification automation study. AIDS 3 evaluation report. Volume 3: Operational feasibility

An evaluation is presented which is defined as the adequacy of system design with known functional and performance requirements. The proposed Rockwell International AIDS 3 card, document and data flow are presented to summarize the concepts involved and the relationships between functions. The analysis and evaluation includes a study of system capability, processing rates, search requirements and response accuracy as well as a consideration of operational components and hardware integration. Results indicate that the AIDS 3 System concept is operationally feasible if production capacity is slightly enhanced but that operational complexity, hardware integration and a lack of conceptual data pertinent to some of the functions are areas of concern
