Real Time Programming 1981


Book Description

Annual Review in Automatic Programming, Volume 11: Real Time Programming 1981 contains the proceedings of the IFAC/IFIP Workshop held in Kyoto, Japan on August 31 - September 2, 1981. Organized into 18 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on advances and trends in distributed control systems. Subsequent chapters explore the application and technology of industrial computers in Japan; on-line system changeover using a virtual machine system; a debugging tool for real time software; and program fall-back method in real time systems. Some other chapters address file design of small real time computer system; development of a distributed operating system kernel for real time applications; and evaluation of pipelined common processor in distributed processing system.

Research and Development in the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry


Book Description

A guide for younger R&D chemists as to how they can quickly evolve skills built around three factors -- people, knowledge and time. It covers the management of scientific personnel, management within a variety of R & D organizational structures, creating a climate of innovation, the management of projects including the time management and communication aspects of the job. As such, it teaches the vital managerial aspects of scientific jobs in industry, which are not taught at university, providing a deep and detailed insight into the intricacies of managing research. The text is divided neatly into four sections: * Harnessing the Human Resource * Organising for an Innovative Environment * Creativity and Innovation * Project Management of Innovation The author, Peter Bamfield, is now working as a consultant. Due to his long experience in the chemical industry, he was elected President of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Industrial Affairs Division, and thus has a profound first-hand view of staff, companies and organizations in and around the industry. This third edition has been revised and updated to take into account global developments and recent changes in regulatory affairs.
