The Production and Distribution of Knowledge in the United States

By Fritz Machiup

Investigating education, research and development, communications media, information machines, and information services, the author de- scribes the allocation of human, fiscal, and natural resources in knowl- edge-production. The output of each field is evaluated in terms of its productivity and growth, and its contribution to the overall body of knowledge. The author's conclusions on the basis of these analyses, and his ensuing recommendations, will engender spirited discussion among educators, research scientists, and administrators.

One of a series briefly describing GM's research in depth

Traffic theory, driver decisions, and car performance Some problems confronting the individual in his everyday driving are beginning to be described in terms of traffic theory by scientists at the General Motors Research Laboratories.

One they have considered, for example, is the driver attempting to cross or merge into fast moving traffic. Possible ramifications: disturbances in the stability of a chain of moving vehicles resulting in rear-end collisions; growth and decay of queues on side streets or entrance ramps.

The driver's average waiting time has been derived as a function of the distribution of gaps in passing traffic and the percentage of time he would judge it safe to proceed. These parameters are highly sensitive to car performance characteristics and the nature of the driver. Experimental information, coupled with theoretical analysis, has enabled our research group to put some quantitative values on this traffic situation.

A low performance car, for instance, could easily wait ten times longer on the average for an acceptable gap in heavy density traffic than a standard high performance car. Assumption: the driver does not force on-coming drivers to decelerate.

At General Motors, such fundamental studies are giving us an insight into the complexities of real traffic behavior. They are essential back-up work to our job of providing the most efficient and safe automotive travel possible.

AT # R I The accent is on thought ... on providing an excel- o00 11o l s 1 'J lent scientific environment for work and exchange

of ideas (as befits an organization controlled and directed by scientists).

The result: productive effort. ORI has doubled its business volume every year since 1956 and the expansion goes on unabated. Consequently, we have unusual opportunities for engineers and scientists interested in analyzing operational and executive decision problems in astronautics, missile systems, undersea and surface warfare, and industrial transportation systems.

You will deal with top level technical and management personnel . . . you will work on critical national problems ... your financial rewards will reflect the importance of your work and are worthy of your attention.

THE CALIFORNIA ANALYSIS CENTER, INC. presents

AN INTENSIVE 5-DAY COURSE ON

SI MULATION MODELING AND PROGRAMMING by means of the

SI MSCRI PT SIMULATION PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

SIMULATION is widely used in such fields as manufacturing, logistics, eco- nomics, transportation and military operations. Unfortunately, simulation pro- gramming with conventional techniques is extremely time consuming.

SI MSCRI PT is especially designed to facilitate the writing of simulation programs. For the operations research and management science analyst, the

SIMSCRIPT language serves as a convenient notation for formulating simulation models. For the programmer, it reduces programming time severalfold as com- pared to simulations written in FORTRAN. It also permits relatively easy program modification and expansion. If the analyst and programmer are not the same

person, SIMSCRIPT greatly simplifies the problem of communication.

SIMSCRIPT translators are available for the 709/7090 computer systems and are being developed for other computers.

THE C.A.C.I. COURSE is designed to give the student a sound working

knowledge of SIMSCRIPT programming. All details of the use of the system will be presented in lectures and in supervised exercise sessions.

Harry Markowitz was associated with the RAND Corporation, The General Electric Company and the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics. Herb Karr was formerly with the RAND Corporation, The General Electric Company and the Planning Research Corporation. Both are well known for publications in various fields.
