UNUSUAL probleIlls. • • We are addressing this to programming scientists who have been in one phase or another of programming work over the past few years and are now seriously assessing their long-range profes sional development. We are particularly interested in programming scientists who feel that their assign ments have not been broad enough to develop their professional and managerial capabilities to the fullest extent. If this strikes a responsive chord with you, we may have a position of more than casual interest. Tech/Ops' work in Washington, where our staff numbers almost a hundred, consists of solving through the use of rather advanced computer simulation, operations research and related tech niques, somewhat complex problems for a variety of different organizations. Sponsors range from Head quarters, U. S. Air Force, for whom we operate Project Omega (a simulation of a large scale strategic air war battle), to the Federal Aviation Agency (analysis of air traffic control systems). Some of the kinds of problems in a little more detail: • Development of prograrnming systems (assemblers, compilers, t?'anslators, generators, strinq handling packages, and the like). We have constructed and are using CL-l and are now ready to build a more powe1ful computer language. • Si m ILlation techniques: using h ig h-speed computers to determ ine the impact ofnew operational pro cedures, plans or equipment, when direct experimentation is too costly or otherwise impractical. • Analysis and programming for command control systems; status and employment of resources; routing and scheduling; information storage, retrieval and display; report generation. • Evaluation of large, comple.1J weapons and communications systems, studies of logistic systems to increase operational efliciency. • Mathematical analysis and its application to operational problems; e. g., queueing theory, linear programming, inventory control analysis, equations describing combat operations. Scientists who fare best in our environment essentially have the problem-solving approach coupled with a specialty in one or more of the following fields: programming; programming systems; information storage, retrieval and display; simulation models; command control systems and man machine war games. In addition to programming scientists on a senior level, appointments are also available for promising programmers of lesser experience. Contact JIIlr.
