These abstracts are presented in 10 areas:(1) IRM activities and plahning; (2) computers, telecommunications, and networks; (3) artificial intelligence, expert systems, and knowledge systems; (4) the human interface; (5) decision support;(6) applications to special areas;(7) management information systems; (8) scientific and technical information and libraries;(9) systems security; and (10) intellectual property. Seven separate indexes provide access to these abstracts by subject, personal author, corporate source, contract number, report number, and accession number. National Technical Information Service (NTIS) order numbers are provided for the items cited and a current NTIS price schedule (effective January 1, 1990) lists North American and foreign prices for standard and exception price documents and microfiche.

FOREWORD The concept and initiation of information resources management (IRM)has been one of the most important events in the information technology arena since the introduction ofthe computer. In its simplest form, IRM is the management of information andthe associat d technology and people in a manner consistent with the successful performance oagency miss.1s and programs. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 established the Federal IRMprogram ano led to its initiation in Federal agencies. NASA has a major role in implementing IRM, especially in thescientific and technical a-eas. NASA missions are information-intensive efforts, designedto gather data which can be reduced to information to yield knowledge. These missions must be planned withan end-to-end life cycle concern for the collection, transmission, storage, and retrieval of information. The IRM principles of information asset management and life cycle managementare becoming a maior part of NASA planning in the scientific, engineering, and administrative data processingareas. As with any management concept or tool, IRM must be integrated intoan organization's structure and management approach. NASA is structured and managed ina decentralized manner, with the programs and centers providing strong operational leadership fortheir assigned activities. Thus, within an overall framework of IRM principles established by NASAHeadquarters, the NASA programs and centers implement IRM constructs appropriate to their needs and requirements. Because of the various programs, missions, and structures within NASA,there is a need for information on how to incorporate IRM principles intoa number of different environments. One of the key IRM tenets is the reuse ofresources whenever appropriate. Recent documen- tation on IR A constitutes a valuable resource showing wnat othershave thought, tried, an i learned. We offer this IRM bibliography in the hope thatyou will find it stimulating and useful. C.

Derived from NICE, an integrated software system developed at Lockheed PaloAlto Research Laboratory,thearchitectureis composed of the command language CLAMP, the command language interpreter CLIP, and the data manager GAL. Volumes 1, 2, and 3 (NASA CI:l1783.4, 178385, and 178386, respectively) describe k.:LAMP and CLIP and the CLIP-processor interface. Volumes 4 and 5 (NASA CI:l178387 and 178388, respectively) describe GAL and its low-level I/O. CLAMP, an ?.;-..1 onym for Command Language for Applied Mechanics Processors, is designed to control the flow of execution of processors written tor NICE Volume 3 de.cribes the CLIP-Processor interface and re,lated topicsIt is intended only for processor developers.
