Stand. (U.S.), Spec. Publ. 500-83,320 pages (Nov. 1981) CODEN: XNBSAV Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 81-600155 U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON: 1981 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Price $9.00 (Add 25 percent for other than U.S. mailing) Foreword The theme of CPEUG addresses the principal challenge of the 80 's INCREASING ORGANIZATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY —as well as the direct challenge to information processing professionals of increasing data processing service and quality while minimizing cost. The relevance of this theme is reflected in the topics of recent news accounts and magazine articles touching on the management challenge in all sectors of our economy. Congress and the President clearly set forth the challenge as a goal for the Federal Government in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980: "automatic data processing and telecommunications technology shall be acquired and used in a manner which improves service delivery and program management, increases productivity, reduces waste and fraud, and reduces the information processing burden on the public and private sectors." Productivity growth in both the private and public sectors is an important factor in achieving our stated national goals of: — reducing inflationary pressures, — raising living standards, — making U.S. goods competitive in world markets, and — protecting the quality of the environment. Productivity is defined as the relationship between the quantity of goods or services produced (output) at a given level of quality and the resources used (input). This relationship can be measured over time for an organizational unit or for an economy as a whole by comparing a specific period with a preselected base period. Productivity improvement, therefore, is an increase in the ratio of outputs to inputs; that is, a higher quantity and/or quality of goods or services at the same cost, or the same quantity of goods or services at a lower cost, without sacrificing quality. It is obvious that productivity improvement is important. For a company, productivity means producing at a lower cost than the competition. For a government, productivity means providing more service for a tax dollar. For a nation, productivity means improving the standard of living, controlling inflation, and competing effectively in world markets. From 1945 to 1970, U.S. productivity increased at an annual rate of 3.2 percent. However, from 1966 on, productivity in the U.S. grew at a much more modest rate of 1.6 percent, and in 1978, the rate slipped below 1 percent. This trend continued in 1979, when productivity actually declined by almost 1 percent. The major factors which affect productivity growth are: Human resources; constituting 70 percent of the input cost in the U.S. economy. Business Week projects that 45 million jobs will be affected by increasing automation before the year 2000 — that's half of the present total. Technological progress; better products, processes, and systems. Promises of office automation and workflow steamlining challenge management to improve the productivity of the 55 million white collar workers in the U.S. (white collar worker productiv- ity increased only 4 percent from 1968-1978, while blue collar productivity improved 84 percent during that period). Investment and economic growth; new tools and capital equip- ment and expanding or declining market for outputs. Business Week recently projected a tripling of U.S. investment in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing equipment to about $5 billion in 1985. The greatest impediment to reaping the produc- tivity gains from these tools was seen by many experts to be soft- ware development. The theme of CPEUG 80 ~ CPE Trends in the 80 's — reflected on the spectacular growth, progress, and changes in computers and computer applications in the 70 's as well as future trends of the 80 's. This year's theme suggests where the direction of computer usage and performance improvement efforts should be

However, I would like to give special thanks to Professor H. Whitfield for initially interesting me in this area and to Professor S. Michaelson for his continued encouragement throughout this work. I should also like to thank all the people involved with the EMAS project both in the Department of Computer Science and the Edinburgh Regional Computing Centre, especially Dr. G.J. Burns and Dr. A. McKendrick, of the ERCC, whose enlightened approach to system management allowed me to carry out the measurement experiments; G.E. Millard, B.A.C. Gilmore and all the ERCC staff involved in the definition of the interactive benchmark and the construction of the 'stimulator', and P.D. Stephens of the ERCC for all his help in topics concerning the EMAS resident supervisor. Finally I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. D.J. Rees without whose encouragement I should never have completed this thesis, and my wife Judy who not only put up with me, and my odd working hours, throughout this project without complaint, but also made such an excellent job of typing this thesis.
