Synopsis

Automation Technology Applied To Public Service: Proceedings Of A Conference On Automation Technology Applied To Public Service, Held At The National Bureau Of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, May 21-22, 1974, Issue 448. Edwin G. Johnsen. The volume collects the proceedings of a May 1974 conference co-sponsored by the National Bureau of Standards, the General Accounting Office, the National Science Foundation, and the Urban Institute, hosted by the NBS Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology. It documents discussions on applying automation technology to public service to improve productivity, service quality, and accountability while examining the political, social, and economic implications. The content includes an introductory address and a keynote on public-sector productivity, analyses of automation in urban services, welfare, aids to the handicapped, recovery of ocean and underground resources, and transportation. It features sessions with government officials, labor representatives, researchers, and industry leaders, and includes examples like automated water treatment, fire-suppression systems, data-processing in city operations, and marine data buoys. The volume emphasizes measured implementation, worker transition, and governance, and presents a snapshot of late-1970s thinking on technology in government.
