The application of computers to construction management is discussed with emphasis on Air Force construction management. Three basic areas of computer knowledge are covered: computer development, computer application to private construction management, and computer application to Air Force construction management. An overview of the development of the computer illustrates the problems and various factors present in the acceptance and application of the computer from initial discovery, through its technological advancements, to the microcomputer of the seventies. A discussion of computer applications in the construction phases includes examples from a basic construction-oriented computer program, ICES PROJECT-I. Air Force construction management is analyzed through various levels of management organization determined by project size and complexity. Actual computer applications at these levels are analyzed on the basis of interviews, regulatory documents, and an overview of a construction management computer program utilized by the Air Force. Conclusions and recommendations are given with the purpose of enhancing the Air Force construction management program. (Author).

Through the material, readers are given the ability to analyze systematically a potential area of need - such as a function in a department - to determine whether a computer application might help to assess the costs and benefits of alternative proposals and to proceed from that analysis to a clear specification for what the proposed solution should accomplish. There is also coverage of how computer professionals evaluate hardware and design the software and systems that will implement a given application. Furthermore, readers will learn how to manage the people, resources, time, and money required in the development process for creating a given application program or for adapting a package application to the needs specified in the design.

The paper describes the overall Air Force project that has been established to evolve a series of techniques for the acquisition and design control of computer programs and computer program data. The Air Force 375 System Management Concept proved to be the best model about which to structure and develop the technology and management process for computer program acquisition and development. To date, certain standards and techniques have been developed; namely, the concept of uniform specifications, design baseline management, design change controls, specification maintenance, and design accounting. Current studies are in progress to evolve computer program testing and validation standards, the systems engineering integration aspects, and the detailing of the generalized procedures and events as related to computer-oriented systems and programs.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 24 (thesis year 1979) a total of 10,033 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 215 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 24 reports these submitted in 1979, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
