Parents of Invention: The Development of Library Automation Systems in the Late 20th Century $68.48 "Parents of Invention: The Development of Library Automation Systems in the Late 20th Century" traces the rise and fall of mini-computer-based ILS. In doing so, it offers an insider’s view of the process of creation, the technical challenges, and the lasting contributions of librarians and programmers at a time when librarians and their automation needs forced computer companies to innovate. Organized around a series of interviews with computer programmers, librarians, and salespeople, the book discusses developments from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, focusing on the 1980s when both ILS and the mini-computer were dominant. It documents the time when a small group of computing vendors joined with large libraries around the world to perfect systems that automated functions such as circulation, acquisitions, cataloging, and online public access catalogs. A concluding chapter, contributed by Louise O’Neil, brings the story up to date with a discussion of current developments in library automation, including the adoption of open-source systems, open-access principles, and the Semantic Web. |

Telerobotics, Automation, and Human Supervisory Control $44.51 For the past three decades, the author and his colleagues in the MITMan-Machine Systems Laboratory have been carrying out experimental research in thearea of teleoperation, telerobotics, and supervisory control – a new form oftechnology that allows humans to work through machines in hazardous environments andcontrol complex systems such as aircraft and nuclear power plants. This timelyreference brings together a variety of theories and technologies that have emergedin a number of fields of application, describing common themes, presentingexperiments and hardware embodiments as examples, and discussing the advantages andthe drawbacks of this new form of human-machine interaction.There are many places -such as outer space, the oceans, and nuclear, biologically, and chemically toxicenvironments – that are inaccessible or hazardous to humans but in which work needsto be done. Telerobotics – remote supervision by human operators of robotic orsemiautomatic devices – is a way to enter these difficult environments. Yet itraises a host of problems, such as the retrieval of sensory information for thehuman operator, and how to control the remote devices with sufficient dexterity. Inits complete coverage of the theoretical and technological aspects of teleroboticsand human-computer cooperation in the control of complex systems, this book movesbeyond the simplistic notion of humans versus automation to provide the necessarybackground for exploring a new and informed cooperative relationship between humansand machines. Thomas B. Sheridan is Professor of Engineering and Applied Psychologyat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Contents: Introduction. Theory andModels of Supervisory Control: Frameworks and Fragments.
