Production: Demanding More From The Computer
1. Thank you for having taken the time to allow me to review
with you the upcoming Symposium referred to in the invitation
letter from Admiral Shapiro, enclosure (1).
i. As you well know, some uses of computers... analysts,
writers, editors, researchers and librarians... are prone to
overlook the many opportunities to increase the scope and
quantity of intelligence production inherent in modern day
computer technology.- It is primarily for these types of users
that the Symposium is. being conducted; all speakers have been
asked to skew their presentations to the analyst, writer, editor
audience.
3. Within the next week, we will be sending you a number of
pocket-size pamphlets'outlining details of the Symposium. These
pamphets are for distribution to those you feel could profit
from attending all or part of the Symposium. Inside the pamphlet
will be a card to be filled out by the individual planning to
attend the seminar plus a pre-addressed envelope in which to
send the card. With these cards, we will be able to get an
accurate count of people planning to attend as well as the
specific concurrent sessions the individual plans to attend.
4. Please note that the reply cards referred to in (3) above
are in addition to the list of attendees and their clearances
requested in Admiral Shapiro's letter. We would appreciate
your sending that list of attendees to the Naval Intelligence
Support Center (NISC-OSS) by 17 July 1978 vice 30 June.

Potential Concurrent Sessions
(Responses to the interest questionnaire included with the
S'ymposi.um Announcement will be used to determine which of the
following sessions will be offered. Each attendee will have the
opportunity to attend four of these sessions.)
ACHIEVING A COMMUNICATIONS BREVITY GOAL
One of the key objectives of any intelligence unit is
brevity. A worthwhile goal might be a 150 reduction in time to
encrypt and transmit intelligence, and a 10% reduction in the
number of printed words. Can it be achieved? If so, how?
ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY FOR SIGNAL PROCESSING
Improvements in computer circuitry and logic density have
resulted in new .technology becoming available for signal
processing that is faster and less expensive than ever before.
Applications of the new technology include digital filters and
A/D-and D/A converters with improved performance, reliability,
and flexibility.
This session will survey the state of the art of technology,
including both hardware and software, and is intended for
intelligence analysts.

AN UPDATE ON COMPUTER TERMINAL CAPABILITIES
or: THE AUTOMATED OFFICE
Advances in both technology and computer communication
facilities and procedures have greatly increased the utility and
versatility of a computer system from the point of view of a
computer user at a terminal. This discussion will highlight some
of the capabilities now available to that user, from full screen
text editing to graphic design to electronic mail.
The session should interest all computer users including
data processing professionals.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Computer Network
(ARPANET) is a nationwide network linking computers at
universities, government installations, and private contractors.
This talk discusses some of the major concepts of ARPANET such as
distributed processing, packet switching, and store-and- forward
message routing. Also discussed are some of the capabilities and
fac.il'ities available' to the users of the network: resource
sharing, remote terminal access, remote job entry, program
libraries, and mailboxes. Analysts and other computer users
should be interested in'this'presentation.
DATA SECURITY: ACHIEVABLE WITH COMPUTER SYSTEMS?
Data processing systems utilized in handling classified
inl;orin ati?on must be provided with special taci1.it.ies and
procedures to safeguard that data. Encryption techniques,
transmission protocols; user authorization checks, and passwords
are among the procedures currently employed. This discus ;ion
will highli.gh t, these facilities and their limitations and offer
an insight to future developments in computer security.
The session is intended for analysts and technical writers
who create and access classified data bases, rather than data
processing professionals who implement and manage the security
facilities.

Planning for adequate computer facilities available to each
user requires having a realistic estimate of the users' needs for
computer resources. Timely decisions must be. made 'concerning how
many terminals get assigned to each organization and how much
computer time and memory space should be allocated to each user.
one effective instrument for monitoring and controlling usage of
computer resources is the budget.
An overview of basic methods for managing the budgeting
process is presented. Managers and data processing planners
should be interested in this subject.
The search for convenient and efficient ways to use
computers to store, process, and retrieve data has led to the
development of computer software to facilitate these
capabilities. A small class of this software qualifies as "data
base- management systems." This presentation will clarify--
qualification for a`.,data base management systems (DBMS)
? types of DBMS available today
? advantages and problems of using a DBMS
? features commonly available in current DBMS
considerations in developing applications that share a

. Analysts, technical writers, and managers who work with
information that can -be stored on a computer will benefit from
this discussion.

INSTALLING AND USING A DATA BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Exploiting computer-analyzed intelligence data as a sharable
resource, serving multiple user groups, will :increa-3i_ngly depend
on proper use of a sophisticated data base manacqo ment system
(DBMS). In this context, general DBMS fea tunes will be
introduced. The roles of data dictionaries, data base
administrators, data management languages, and report generators
will also be discussed.
To focus the topic, a specific DBMS will be featured: the
Integrated Database Management System (IUMS) marketed by
Cullinane Corporation, which is already installed at NIPSSA and
under which several projects are being implemented.
This session should interest intelligence analysts and their
management as well as computer professionals.
INTERACTIVE DATA BASE QUERY
A variety of flexible tools are provided to the users of a
modern. interactive query system supplied with the appropriate
computer programs. Users cab build private files, can share the
use of others, files, can transmit information to other users,
and .can conduct searches of-'data bases for information, among
other capabilities. '
An interactive system now under development in another
intelligence agency will provide those and other facilities to
users at computer terminals. That system will serve as the basis
for discussing both the functional capabilities and the
considerations for developing a comprehensive interactive query
system. The session should interest both data processing
professionals and those in scientific and technical billets who
could utilize the facilities of such a system.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN AN S & T ENVIRONMENT
Components of effective project management including
planning, scheduling, and control techniques are surveyed.
Planning topics to be covered include organizational
alternatives, project t.eams, and personnel policies. Scheduling
and control techniques are discussed in terms of an. overall phase
plan for system development and implementation. The phase plan
extends from the original idea through planning, specification,
design, implementation, test, acceptance, and follow-up. It is a
guideline that coordinates the necessary management control
functions with the development activities throughout the entire
phase plan process.
This session is designed to encourage thinking on a
system-wide basis among management and professional personnel.
Practical suggestions are provided on how to organize from
beginning to end to achieve the IAIPS plan objectives.
SIZING AND COMPARING CENTRAL HOST COMPUTING SYSTEMS
The relative merits of available central host computing
systems can be determined only when a profile of the projected
total user, requirements is known. Because of hardware and
,software design differences- computer systems vary in their
ability to process different categories of work. Being able to
assess the capabilities (such as the performance) of various host
computers in terms of a workload requires understanding the total
requirements on the system as well as the specific requirements
for each category of processing, such as batch, remote job entry,
time-sharing, data base, sensor based, message switching, or
real-time applications. Conflicting application requirements may
preclude an optimal computer configuration; tradeoffs may be
necessary.
In this session the tools and methods available for users
with known application requirements to evaluate host computer
systems comparatively;. and to select equipment that best
satisfies those requirements, will be discussed. The session
should interest both computer users and data processing planners.

SOLVING MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS BY COMPUTER
This discussion will review several management science
techniques that are useful in solving problems in ma naging
complex activities, events, and organizations. . Emphasis is
placed upon separating. content from form in such problems. The
intended audience is managers, planners, and technical personnel
with supervisory responsibilities.
STANDALONE VERSUS SHARED RESOURCES
Needs of computer users for data processing resources vary
depending on a number of technical factors in addition to the
organizational structure and chain-of-command relationships.
Such factors include the amount of data to be processed, the
frequency of adding or modifying data, the turnaround time
permissible in which to process the data, security and integrity
considerations, and the size, speed, and configuration of the
computing systems available to the user.
The relative importance of these factors indicates whether
it is technically sounder for computer resources to he dedicated
to one group of users or totibe shared among several groups.
This session should assist users of data processing systems
in specifying their requirements for computer resources, and
those who will plan the acquisition and management of those
resources.
