摘要:

AbstractEditor's NoteThis is an invited contribution in our occasional series O.R. Reflections, in which are presented essentially personal views of O.R., based on contributors' own experience. What follows is a slightly revised version of the author's inaugural lecture as Professor of Systems and Operational Research at the University of Warwick on 10th May 1982.The author draws on his experience in industry and in an international research institute (IIASA) o restate the importance of strategic planning if organisations are to do better than mere survival. He argues the need for problem-oriented, inter-disciplinary research to support such activity and suggests that such research, directed towards investment and strategic policy, has a potential value which is quite out of proportion to the money currently invested in it.

摘要:

AbstractAdvances in micro-electronics and networking will bring steadily increasing computing power into tomorrow's office. There are differing approaches to the way in which local area networks and intelligent workstations will use a balance of local and remote computers and network sophistication. Emerging standards will assist the user in choosing amongst them. Improvements in microelectronics are changing the computer itself as new architectures to exploit parallelism are designed and new programming languages to instruct them are developed.

摘要:

AbstractThe financial modelling packages for microcomputers can be considered as falling into one of three categories:- visual spread sheets, micro base structured models and structured models which are compatible across, and allow communications between, micros and mainframes. This paper describes the three types of package, discusses the pros and cons of each, and offers a guide to system selection.

摘要:

AbstractThe Bank of Ireland undertakes financial modelling for strategic planning purposes. The work was previously undertaken by a time-sharing bureau but is now performed on microcomputers. The paper briefly describes the modelling process and gives some points on the use of microcomputers.

摘要:

AbstractMicroelectronics have greatly influenced the nature of manufacturing technology and systems. New factories make growing use of microcomputers and microprocessors in robots, C.N.C. machine tools and flexible manufacturing systems. The result is an increasing trend towards fully integrated computer-based manufacturing systems. As a consequence, O.R. software has a newer, more direct role in the modern factory than ever before. Fully integrated CAM systems are implemented by multi-disciplinary teams of engineers and management scientists. The O.R. practitioner can make a major contribution, for example in layout optimisation and plant simulations.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper is a discussion of the various techniques currently available for producing graphics on microcomputers. On the hardware side there are descriptions of various output devices such as monitors, T.V.s and plotters, input devices such as digitizers, and interactive devices such as joysticks and roller-balls. On the software side there are descriptions of the basic building blocks, application software packages and standards. The intention is to give an idea of the different tools and techniques that are available, and to illustrate the things that can now be achieved using low-cost desk-top computers.
