U.s. government decision makers’ expectations and patterns of use of emerging and existing information technologies
Consumer Expectations Regarding Emerging Technologies
This article reports the results of marketing research that was undertaken as part of an information technology prototype development project. The project was devoted to the creation of a multimedia-based prototype system to provide timely and accurate information from government geographic information databases to government decision makers and the general public in an easy-to-use interactive visual format. The general public (i.e., private citi…
Teachers' visions of the future for the wired classroom
Virtually all of the research devoted to the role of technology in the classroom focuses on existing and available technologies. However, because most teachers accept the responsibility of educating students for the future, research on existing technologies ignores an important characteristic of the educator: "future vision". We examine the technological future vision of secondary school teachers in the USA, the characteristics of technologies th…
The Credibility of Drug Tests
The authors show that even when drug tests are extremely accurate by conventional measures, under some circumstances they will yield a high "false accusation rate" (that is, a high percentage of those testing positive for drugs will not have drugs in their systems). For example, if a drug-testing process that produces only one false positive per 2,000 drug-free specimens, and no false negatives, is administered to a population in which 0.1% of th…
A Poisson model of incidents of international terrorism in the United States
Various haphazard, and often uncoordinated, efforts have been devoted to discouraging and combatting terrorism. Unfortunately, there has been a noticeable lack of quantitative studies of the problem of terrorism. Nevertheless, it can be expected that the problem of international terrorism will eventually be a focus for operations researchers. A factor fundamental to any OR study is an understanding of the underlying generating process for inciden…
A Note on the Family of the Senecae
Policing the Smaller Cities
IT may be appropriate to preface this article with a personal point of view respecting the operation of small-city police departments. In that context I accept the term small only as applied to population, geographical boundaries, tax rates, and the cost of municipal operation as related to the number of police. It is my firm opinion that the plan of operation for efficient police service should follow the well-established and time-proved methods…
