Microcomputers and their Applications for Developing Countries


Book Description

Microcomputers are an increasingly important tool in all aspects of development as the need to handle and assimilate vast quantities of information becomes ever more critical for both the international development community and the developing countries. In addition, the microcomputer represents the first significant technological advance that a dev







Microcomputer Applications in Traffic Engineering Agencies


Book Description

This document shows how transportation agencies can take advantage of the microcomputer resolution. It provides an introduction to the new microcomputer technology (hardware and software) and explores the ways in which microcomputers can be used to meet traffic engineering needs. It is also intended to help those planning and implementing a microcomputer-based information system. Cost estimates are provided. Seven steps to developing a microcomputer system and described. The requirements of a computer consultant/systems analyst are discussed.




Microcomputer Applications in Occupational Health and Safety


Book Description

Practical software use in the "real world" of occupational health and safety is the thrust of this book. MICROCOMPUTER APPLICATIONS in OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH and SAFETY stresses three major phases: 1. Recent trends, 2. New Software, and 3. Practical uses of existing software, e.g. word processing, Lotus 1-2-3, CAD (computer-aided design). Your computer can give you reports, tracking medical records, and engineering modeling, for example, in a fraction of the time formerly required.
